Dobinsons Springs and Suspension
17.
Have another person help to hold the
bumper, and carefully cut along the bumper
cut line marked in the previous steps with an
air hacksaw or similar. Take time to ensure
the cuts are as neat as possible.
18.
The installer may choose to install rubber
edging to the cut or not depending on how
neat the cut edge is.
19.
Carefully un-wrap the bulbar taking care not
to scratch it especially on the top loops.
Reinstall the number plate. If installing driving
lights to the bullbar it is easiest to install now.
20.
If not installing a winch skip to step 30.
21.
See the Installation section of your Dobinsons
4x4 Winch manual for specific detailed fitting
instructions. For a brief overview see the
following steps.
22.
Test fit your winch to the mounting bracket
and do up loosely with the clutch handle on
the left hand side of the vehicle.
23.
You may have to cut and bend the centre
brace to allow clear the winch drum as seen
below.
24.
This may require the clutch handle and gear-
box housing to be rotated forward a few bolt
holes to allow easy access through the bulbar
holes. See instructions in winch user manual.
25.
Determine where the winch control box will
be located and mount the control box. See
instructions in winch user manual for control
box mounting options. If mounting to the top
of the bullbar using the supplied bracket,
check clearance of control box to grill and also
check where the wires will route as if the
wires are passing through the holes in the top
of the bullbar the control box may not be able
to be wired until the bullbar has been fitted as
below.
26.
Now test fit the bumper to the vehicle again
and you will see that you need to cut away
the centre section of the bumper to clear the
winch, control box and clutch handle as seen
below. Take small amounts away each time
until you are happy with the access.
