MRAP bumpers....who's using one?

[ScubaCat]

Swamp Donkey has one, a few others IIRC...Anyone else? Pics? I want to see what you've done for some inspirational design can rub off on me...

Anyone have a MAXXPRO MRAP bumper they want to sell or know who does?

I have a few mrap bumpers left. The ones with the center hole for winch pass thru.

Swamp Donkey is using the RG-31 type IIRC, I like those and I like the MAXXPRO style...

Not sure if that is quite the style I was looking for. Have a frontal shot? Looks like on of the RG31 variations.... Definitely different from SD's.

What is it supra

 

[Suprman]

The bumper is rg31. The light is a vss3 xenon arc. 70s vintage used on tanks for lighting up a target at 5 miles. Can do white light or IR.

That would work good on hemtt

Judging from the size, you'd need one...

Dont imagine you get replacement bulbs at autozone....

Here you go Scuba...an MRAP bumper guide.

Let's start with the Maxxpro. Here's a side shot to show why I don't like this one. It's just stamped steel so basically a bumper. They tow eyes are bolted to the frame and won't come with the bumper. Same construction as most MV factory bumpers. I've only seen a couple of these for sale. You'll just get a stamped steel bumper without tow eyes, lights, or guards.



Any of the bumpers from BAE are built like the truck they were mounted on. They are solid anD built to survive a explosion. I only ask mine to survive trees though. All of the BAE variant bumpers were, or are, currently for sale. Several people on here have mounted the bumper Suprman has. It's a nice bumper.

One could get one heck of a sun tan standing within a few hundred feet of this monster. Is the light adjustable and does it have a flicker mode? If so, what is the flicker rate in Hz? I have a shoulder mounted one that runs for 20-minutes off a tactical vest and recharges on the standard NATO plug. I would not mind having one of these.
