Expedition One Stormtrooper Winch Bumper

Pretty much!

 

I'll have mine on by the end of the week hopefully. What suspension you have up front? Curious to see if my icons with 600lb springs hold up..

 

Amazing truck. Well done sir

 

Finally got my Expedition One Storm Trooper bumper finished and installed. Decided to color match. Went with a Warn VR-12S winch (remote mounted control unit in engine bay). PIAA RF6 yellow fogs and Baja Designs Squadron Pro spots in the ports. Flipster V2 license plate mount. Think it came out pretty well.

 

I’m running OME all around. BP51s in front-heavy Dakar leafs in rear.

 

After i get mine installed I hope to move the camera up on the topper,
I also need to mount the sensors on the rear bumper
Thanks

 

lOOKS AWESOME!!!! I am sold>>>>

 

My front and rear exp1 bumper arrive tomorrow only took 10 weeks

 

OP,

Your truck looks amazing, that's my dream truck right there! Those bumpers look fantastic!

 

Bumpers arrived now to figure the front light setup.
The baja designs lights were from a previous build figured i use them

 

Here you go @Erichudgins

 

Man those xl80s would be nice in the fog position lol I may pull those plates out and see what I can come up with

 

First bumpers I've seen that I would get instead of Pelfrey ones.

 

those are Freaking Awesome!!!! ordering mine in the fall!!

 

Completely block the backup camera right?

Edit:
Sorry didn’t keep scrolling. Thank you for the pics!

 

Very cool indeed!!!! looks very nice!!!!!

 

I turned m6 attention to the rear bumper. The light ports are 4 1/2”!!
The BD squadrons are 3” so i decided to flush mount the squads
Sorry pictures are soso. I also drilled for the sensors

 

Excellent taste in bumpers.
You got my ideal setup there.

 

Did you bump up to heavier springs?

 

I have Kings and didn't go to a heavier spring. Talked to Ben at Filthy Motersport (where I got mine) and he assured me that I was still well within the limits for the OEM Kings even with the bumper, winch and armor I've put on. Only had it on a few weeks, but so far so good.

 

I think it will depend on what other equipment you have installed. I installed a dobinsons 2 3/4” lift that included medium duty rear springs.
The front bumper with winch is about 200lb increase. On the rear I have the rear bumper with dual swing outs & winch, aluminum topper, complete bed draws and storage, 60L fridge, twin grp 31 batteries, and some other stuff easily added 600+lbs

 

Great looking bumpers guys!! @BigWalker, what are your plans for coating those bumpers, if you don't mind me asking...

 

Dont mind. They are being primed then black powder coat with a lite satin finish, should be back next week so i can install. At some point i may color match the face of the wings but i need to see them installed. I need to get off my duff and start a build thread

 

Bumper porn
Installed
Rear light is a flush mounted BD Squadron
Fronts are pair of S2, one squadron pro and one ONC6s per side
Have to figure out where to mount front license plate

I wanted to protect my synthetic winch line from sun and rain, so built a cover for the top access holes in my Stormtrooper bumper out of ABS plastic. Easy to remove with just the three cap screws in front. Will see how it holds up to the elements.

 

that looks nice.. also what topper is that on your truck

 

The front bumper is perfect. Just what I've been looking for as I haven't been into ANY of the bumpers I've seen out there for 3rd gens. Now to start makin plans....

 

Nice bumpers and great builds guys. Both look solid. @BigWalker how are you liking the Dobinson suspension. I have moved them to the top of my list....I think

 

@Broncobroke the dobinson suspension is pretty decent. I wanted a no maintenance solution. Ive been running a king 2.5 coilover setup on my jeep pickup and it requires attention annually and didn't want that. I installed it at 600 miles and now has 9600 mile which includes two cross country trip. Cleared 34” tires even after the bumper and winch install of about 450 lbs increase. I also run a small air bag set up for towing
OME is good but i think dobinson manufactures some of it
I hope to start a build thread soon
Cheers
