Swamp do you have another bumper like yours or can you get one? I have a new tow rig I am considering making it look like a 915. And it's pretty apparent the bumper needs help.

I don't have any. I had gotten mine from 440Duster. Hard Head said he has one, although I don't know whether he plans to use it or not. Y'all are both in SC so distance isn't a problem like it was when I got mine.
He told me he's holding it for someone.

Those are from the MTVR 7 Tons with winches. The winch trucks and wreckers had the same bumper as the non winch trucks but the ends were angled instead of straight.

It's interesting that they are aluminum.

A petite bar wench would, but a PTO winch
would need the normal Deuce winch frame extensions to work. I have a civi electrical winch that could fit in there like it is, but going to use it on another truck.

Good to know, I have one of the MTVR non winch bumpers it has a square cut out right where the bend is on the winch ones.
Anybody know what they are for?

I missed this post. The square hole is for access to a trailer type connector. Some of the winch trucks with angled bumpers have them too, but not all. Some bumpers had blackout light holes and some didn't. The ones that didn't have the light in the bumper had it mounted on the top left corner of the hood.

I've been piecing together a RG33 as you can see from my many projects. Pretty soon my truck will be more RG33 than M923.
I have some LED cab dome lighting coming up that is courtesy of RG33s.

Haha. You had my hopes up I wasn't the only one...Bumper, Donkey, I want an RG31 bumper
What does it take to put and RG31 bumper on a M939a2 series truck? Do you keep the tow point attachments?
will bump this as I may get mine done on Tuesday of this next week. It is off a Force Protection Buffalo. Just a shade under 102". Pretty heavy and stout. I will have to fab up some type of lower frame bracket. Picked it up for $320 with the step and pintle and that included shipping.

Wes what are you going to mount it on?
My 923. I am going to have to cut off the existing frame plates for the buffalo and reweld some 3/4" plates on. The buffalo width is 23inches compared to a 32in frame on a 5ton
