Pajero Gen4 Bumper Build

#1

Post by KurtG »

This bumper was made by Lynx 4x4 who are no longer around, they have unfortunately closed down.

Does anyone know where in Gauteng I can have a similar one made up because this is what I need, the ARB types are too big and heavy for my liking and I don’t want to install a winch. We need a Burnco here..... :(

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated.

I got in contact with the ex owner of Lynx, he is back in SA so I will go and visit him sometime to discuss the current pricing on this bumper.

I had work done by Lynx before they shut down. They were completely and utterly useless. I would be extremely cautious of using them ever again for anything on any one of my vehicles.

You know how to contact me if you need further details.

Be warned.

Thanks Andreas, I will make sure everything is legit if I decide to go ahead with it.

Also note that Charles was the owner, he went overseas and returned recently. During his time away the “new owners” stuffed it up therefore it closed, according to him.

Charles is now at Opposite Lock so Lynx itself is still closed.

Burnco do make a very nice looking Bumper for the Pajero. That Lynx one looks out of proportion especially the nose section. Ventilation could be better too

On the Pajero the intercooler is underneath the number plate right down there where the bashplate is, but you are right there is supposed to be more ventilation directly behind the number plate for the lower section of the radiator (see pic attached).

I was in contact with Burnco a few years back because I liked their design too, he needed the car for 5 days in CT to get the bumper made, much the same as Lynx mentioned on the call yesterday, but not as convenient for us Gautengers.

I wonder if Burnco made any templates allowing them to ship the completed unit up here, that would be awesome.

I could always take your car to CT for a week or so and get your bumper fitted. I need a holiday.

Kurt, speak to Hein directly. If they can can send bumpers in Australia then they can manage Gauteng (assuming they have a template)

Speak to Burnco. They have built a lot of bumpers since a couple years back.

Things change...

This obviously isn’t the same vehicle but the layout is better. Shackle hangers & jack points are inline with the chassis rails, with the spots offset to the sides
