How long did it take for it to arrive? I sent an e-mail to hanson today with no responce back yet. I'll call them tomorrow maybe that will work better.

that worries me a bit. mine just arrived today, i'm taking the day off tomorrow and installing it.

Well mine is 2 years old, made with 1/4" thick metal. The newer stuff, I believe, is 3/16" thickness to save on weight.

Ben you should be good! the new 3/16" are way lighter 65-72 lbs than the Original 1/4" that were 115-130lbs. Make sure to post some pics

my new hanson

Looks like you have the bronco lean...welcome to the club

 

[73stallion]

yes!!!

 

[TJK74]

yes!!!

Very Nice! Looks awesome. So how does it sit with the bumer on? are you getting the matching rear to go with it?

 

[73stallion]

don't know what i'll do with the rear. i'm leaning toward the protofab plate rear, but i don't like how high the spare sits. i'll probably just keep my present rear and add to it.

Mine took over 2 months to get it. Also the new mounting system in a PITA.

 

[73stallion]

they origionally said 2 to 3 weeks. i called at the end of 2 weeks, they said another 2 weeks. i whined a little and i had it in i think 3.5 weeks. it's worth the wait!

Matt,
I still can't believe that that "ravens" mud took the paint off the bumper.........That stuff was nasty.

 

[77BroncoWag]

did you get it all off yet? I'm still finding it here and there.

Same here. I think I got most of it.........I swear I chipped off about a 5 gallon bucket full of it.

If someone want's to post it for 75broncold, I've got a picture of one with an 8274 on it. It won't be current, as it's an older model with a custom fairlead mount and a few other mods done by Wayne when he had a spare moment or two. But at least it will show the basic size and layout and where the winch will likely sit. Hard to see behind the Hi-Lift, but it's there.

Either that or I can just e-mail them to you directly broncold. But that's not as much fun. The Bronco was up on e-Bay not long ago and I think someone here posted a link to it.
