  • Vintage Jeep CJ5 Custom Front Winch Bumper!
    In this video I remove the old homemade bumper off the CJ5 and build a custom front winch bumper to mount up my Warn 8274 and add some recovery points to my old Jeep. This was a fun project and maybe not the best for first time welders but for sure a great diy project. For my winch mount I sourced a precut kit and fair lead from ​⁠‪@brennanmetcalf‬ , some junkyard parts, and a couple D ring mounts from Amazon. I couldn’t be happier with the results and this has for sure made my Jeep a more capable machine!
    Parts used:

    Fair Lead

    D Ring Mounts

    As always, your dedication to quality craftsmanship is well worth the extra time spent, nice job! As for comments, at first I was kind of unsure about the idea of mounting under the bumper, but I have to say you won me over. The lower the winch line sits, the less resistance to the pull there is, a definite advantage. The 8274, being a tall winch, blocks airflow to the radiator a lot more when mounted higher, another plus. Finally, my only real concern to begin with was the fear of bashing it on stumps and rocks. Realistically, if you have not been mangling your tie rods, then you probably won't be hitting the fairlead much either. Nice to see your helper starting to follow the tradition. My daughter started working with me at about that age. She's 44 now and we still do a lot of projects together. Looking forward to your next video, thank you for this one.

      I was in the same boat at first I hate how much these winches block the radiator but I was worried about smashing it. You nailed it though if I’m smashing the winch I’m probably smashing other stuff too haha! Thats awesome I hope my kids grow up loving these old jeeps as much as I do! Thanks!

    Glad to see you are using the 8274, and not some new fangled planetary setup.
    They are the standard to which all winches are measured. I love the fact that it holds so much line.

      You gotta have one of these on an old Jeep!

    Use some black wire loom to make it blend instead of seeing that red wire. It’s a distraction to your awesome work… just a thought. Thanks for all the details!

    I have a 67 CJ5 I bought 1987 for 600 bucks. I have an 8274 on mine. Fastest retrieving winch ever made! Buick V6 with an SM420 transmission spacer 18 transfer case.
    I’m Kevin Jenkins and my brothers call me Stinky. Have a great day.

    Great video as always. Your disk brake vids were the inspiration for my stock ‘64 CJ5 having a complete new brake system with front disc……….. Now, how about a DIY electric power steering project? Ron

    • @SevenBarSalvage

      Really appreciate it! Great upgrade! I’ve not tried anything with that yet but check out turn n burn on RUclips he did an electric steering video a while back. Thanks!

  • @jerryshelton1481

    It being a skid plate it being under the front plate makes it stronger and gives you just a fraction more clearance for the winch line

    Ha! I know all about mangled frame horns! Remember the pix I sent you, Jacob, when I was restoring my '67? I ended up sawing about 18" of mine off and building new ones. Someone had a PTO winch mounted on the front of it when I bought the poor thing. The winch was obviously stronger than the frame because the horns were bent, cracked and busted. Luckily, I had the Jeep completely disassembled so I could fix it properly. When the frame was completely disassembled and ready to go in for powder coating, I found the winch had also twisted the frame. It wobbled rather than sitting flat on the floor. My friend Wyatt and I spent an entire weekend working on it til it was finally straight. Moral of the story....be smart when you use your winch. It can really do some damage to the wimpy Jeep frame if you do something stupid. I was so disgusted, I threw that winch right in the scrap bin. Probably not a great idea in retrospect. 0:03

      Man that’s crazy! People don’t realize how much damage these old Jeeps take over the years. You did yours up right! Always good to hear from you!

    Excellent bumper /winch mount!!!!

  • @TheOldaz1
    @TheOldaz1 10 месяцев назад +1

    That bumper arrangement is way stronger than the rest of the Jeep, but I think that's a good thing. I was a bit surprised to see the way the winch is mounted, using a hi-mount winch like a low-mount?? But that means your radiator air flow isn't impeded as much as it would be with the winch mounted above the bumper. When I get to the winch on my 3B, it will be a low-mount type and I'm thinking to have the fairlead above the bumper. A hi-mount winch like yours would cost a minimum $2k here, where I can buy a new 12000lb winch for around $350 - not that I need one that heavy duty.

    • @SevenBarSalvage
      @SevenBarSalvage  10 месяцев назад

      That was part of my thinking it blocks the radiator so much otherwise! These old winches have a crazy price tag I’ve just been fortunate to find a few deals. I really like the setup where the fair lead comes out of the front of the bumper too. Thank you!

    If you end up doing a Saginaw steering upgrade you'll need to move the winch over all the way to the passenger side fame rail to make the steering box fit FWIW

    • @SevenBarSalvage
      @SevenBarSalvage  10 месяцев назад

      I almost set a box up there to plan for the future but I’ve not had a problem with the stock steering so far fingers crossed! Good point!

  • @brennanmetcalf
    @brennanmetcalf 10 месяцев назад +1

    Nice job! I prefer doing corner offset for the skiplate, but it's not going anywhere the way you put it together. I hope I can offer a pre-shaved version of the #HOSSfairlead some day for the 2x3 bumper setup if it becomes more popular. It is nice being able to tuck the winch up that extra little bit and have easy to access hardware.

    • @SevenBarSalvage

    Do you think the ‘C’ channel frame up front needs to be boxed in?

    • @SevenBarSalvage
      @SevenBarSalvage  9 месяцев назад

      Thank you! I’m for sure going to box it in I think it’s for sure a weak point. I was hustling under a time crunch! Thanks!

    Should of a piece of plate bent and bolted it to the frame, not that bunch of scrap metal
