Warn H2 winch bumper

[PARAGON]

I had a project planned and bought an new Warn winch bumper that's made for the H2. I currently also have one already installed on my H2 but was going to take the new one and modify it to my liking. My interests have drifted to UCP protection and would like to sell the bumper.

It's the fully Warn metal bumper and all the mountings but does not have the winch. I am sure it could be customized to accomodate different winches or for other projects. Brand new, box never opened.

Okay, it sounds like a big ole maybe. I thing the MM can be mounted so that the freespool lever is on the side instead of the top. I sort of wonder if the end of the speed lever can be hacked off and a push rod can be linked to the end and routed out the front.

I'll have to ask some more questions of the MM folks to know if it's a fit.

I really want to avoid (a) a cradle and (b) an more expensive bumper (cough), so I'm probably going to have to find a way to make the warn bumper work. So I'm probably a strong fallback buys on this. I hate to be really impulsive, so give me a bit more time to ponder. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Regardless, if I can help let me know. I got the new one to consider a larger winch and it would be easy because the bumper cover can be hacked up and still look good, but I can do a triple line pull if I have to (justifying to myself why I don't need a bigger winch)

My current bumper is bent all up or I would take it off and take some pictures. with it being bent up so bad, I'm afraid once I get it off, it will be a bitch to get the holes realigned to mount it back up.

[drmiles]

Yeah, the kid drives damn well. If I get stuck I can always blame it on the line he choose.

no, and yes!

I would probably leave the driving to UPS! Were you thinking of modding it for the rear? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I tow trailers too much to go screwing around with the rear. I was thinking about going with a bigger winch, and creating an area for a custom air tank.

I'm interested P. How much you looking to get for it?

[ree]

Ooops. Milemarker has this as their dimensions:



Looks like 24.65 is required width, and 8x10 in the other two dimensions. Probably some hacking needed to provide access to the control knobs.

By "Hook 'em Horns" do you mean Austin?

Can you take a several of pictures of the center area of the bumper (the one on your truck that is), below, in front of, above? Just so I can get a slightly better idea of exactly what comes out where, how big the access is at the top, and what kind of mids I might need to make to the fascia.
Thanks. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I'll get something the first part of next week. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Paragon,
No need anymore. I just got the install instructions in Word form from Warn. The pictures in it provide enough detail.

For others, this picture shows how it all fits together before adding the bumper cover. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Damn, I was just resizing all of the photos and getting ready to post them. Hmphf!

I would highly advise you to stay away from the Mile Marker winches. All of the Hummer techs that I've spoken with on this subject have offered the advice to NOT use a hydraulic winch on the H2. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Preface: I don't know the details of any business doings/misdoings between you and MM since I haven't read enough old posts to figure it out. So I'm not going to discount what you've said because of this. <span class="ev_code_RED">They are sneaky thieves, but my recommendation is made after personally experiencing failure on 2 of their electric winches. Also, the fact that any warranty work must be done at their facility in Atlanta(?). Warn has service falcilities worldwide and are very accommodating when it comes to warranty repairs.</span>

If there is a real problem with the MM hydraulics on the H2, I'd love to know about it now. But so far, I've seen little substantive arguments against their use. <span class="ev_code_RED">Most, if not all, techs will tell you that the H2 steering pump isn't quite up to the work of running a hydraulic winch.</span>

I did see you post a complaint about the cluth lever failing on one. <span class="ev_code_RED">One personally. 3-4 others from friends & acquaintances.</span>

But everything I've ever seen about the hydraulics being bad seems purely anectodal/hearsay. I've seen all sorts of people claiming that they cause PS pump failure, but I've never hear them say it was their PS pump that their winch broke. <span class="ev_code_RED">Like I said, ask a tech.</span>

I know AMG fails to warrant the PS pumps on H1's if a MM hydraulic is used, but this isn't proof that the winches are the problem. It is a mighty nice way for them to save on warantee costs.<span class="ev_code_RED">That's because MM is a bitch to work with on warranty issues.</span> But I've seen a number of videos with H1's sans MM winches and sick sounding PS pumps. Maybe the PS pumps aren't so hot on the H1's. <span class="ev_code_RED">Could be. But I've only ever heard one PS pump sounding sickly. And I've been around LOTS of H1s.</span>

So why specifically are the Hummer tech's advising against it? </div></BLOCKQUOTE> <span class="ev_code_RED">The best thing you can do is go ask one(or a couple of them) about their opinions on the subject.</span>

Remember: Opinions are like *******s. Everybody has one and they usually stink.
