Great video Fletch !!!! I have been looking for a wintch mount and thanks to you I now have a plan !! Keep up the good work for the Xterra community. I work in a machine shop where we take new semi's and convert them to logging trucks and then we built custom trailers to match the truck Some awesome semi's come through the door and we have a great welding and fabrication department !! Just what a off roader needs ? Pederson Brothers Inc in Bellingham WA !!!!!

Love this winch mount/bumper and hope to be getting one very soon. wish someone in the community w/some talent in the spec modding dept could design a printout for the cuts. I’d really like to maintain that cross member and maybe just make cuts for the shackle mounts only possible. Thanks for the vid- would not have known about them otherwise 👍

As it bolts into the factory hook locations, do you feel OK with doing a snatch pull of it? I'm assuming a bridle would be used to split the load. Either way thanks for showing how it installs. I'm not to far out from purchasing one. Keep on keeping on
@AllThingsOverlanding4 жыл бұрын
Thanks Andrew! I would feel alright with it. It’s been a while since I got that stuck, haha, but I got snatched out once by my stock hook and with all the attachment points on this thing, I would actually feel better about doing it off this.

@AllThingsOverlanding2 жыл бұрын
I imagine it would. Pretty sure they're essentially the same. I'm sure if you look at the WAM website, they'll tell you if it fits the Frontier. It's a great, budget friendly option for being able to easily mount a winch.

Great video and product Fletch. I’m going to get this bumper too. It says it weighs 55 lbs. I’m thinking of upgrading my stock Bilstein 4400 for either OME or Rancho Quicklift. What do you think of this additional weight up front? I’m going to hold off on adding a winch for right now. I’ve got an ‘05 X Off Road, 6 speed.

You mentioned some other mounting options for the solenoid. If I didn't want to cut my factory bumper or do any other body work, what would some options be? Thanks!!!
@AllThingsOverlanding3 жыл бұрын
Well, the cleanest/best way would be to just buy a solenoid relocation kit which gives you extended wires and you could mount it up in the engine bay. Something like this: amzn.to/3tjNZrr (although it may vary based on your winch-there's probably info on forums or FB groups from people running whatever winch you're running that could help with which specific one would work). Hope that helps!

New to the channel and love it so far! I was looking into this exact set up with the WAM bumper but I was wondering if I could still fit a Stehlen bull bar in front of it. Do you know what the dimension is from outside to outside of the shackle mounts?
@AllThingsOverlanding3 жыл бұрын
Hey Jacob, glad you’re enjoying it! I’m on vacation this week and out of town but I’m happy to measure it when I get back. How does the bulbar mount? This bumper uses the stock recovery hook locations and mounts straight to the frame so I just wonder if there would be a conflict there.

I bought mine used and it was already painted with bed liner, but I believe if you buy it new from WAM, there's an option to get it powder coated or painted. Otherwise, I think it comes as bare metal.

I noticed you don’t have the stock skid plate, did you have to delete it because of the wam?
@AllThingsOverlanding3 жыл бұрын
Great question. Mine's an SE so it didn't come with stock skid plates. However, I've got a bunch of aftermarket 3/16" steel skids and with the wam bumper mounting to the side of the frame rails (which is where that skid plate normally attaches), I have not fitted any armor there yet. I'm sure there's a way to fabricate something, but I haven't taken the time to figure it out yet.

Hey fletch, long time lurker now subscribed! Regarding the bumper, are you saying you cannot run any skids with it? I currently have all hefty skids installed and thought about adding the wam. However, if I cannot reuse my skid, I might have to pass....
@AllThingsOverlanding4 жыл бұрын
@@krisleksas1236 Hey Kris! Yeah, so I don't have a radiator skid currently. However, I bought my steelies and MT's off of one of the guys who owns P&P engineering and while we were chatting, I asked him if P&P had a radiator skid and if it would work with the WAM bumper. He took a look under the truck and said that their radiator skid used the same mounting holes as the WAM bumper so he didn't know how it would work. I guess, if it's flat, you might be able to sandwich both in as long as your bolts are long enough, but there are a lot of factors there.
