GV/Trackick bumper differences?
« on: August 08, 2006, 03:56:30 PM »
Has anyone looked to see what the difference is between the GV and Trackick bumper mounts are? Since it seems no companies are in any hurry to build us winch bumpers for our GV, I wonder how close the Trackick bumpers are too mounting up to the GVs. I'd buy an ARB or Shrockworks bumper if I knew they would at least come close to mounting up.

My friend put an ARB on his XL-7, they sent him a mounting bracket to put it on. Those things are expensive though, you might be better off finding someone decent to do a custom bumper.

So they offer a mounting kit to use the Trackick bumper on the GV/XL-7? I can't find any info on their site backing that up.  ???

I have been wondering the same thing - the width of the vehicles is very close, it seems like it would just be a matter of relocating a few things.

Does anybody have a Shrockworks bumper they can take pictures of the mounting brackets, etc ...?

got an email from shrockworks and he has had at least two people buy them for the GV/XL7 to make fit, but hasn't heard back whether they got them fitted.

So, it might indeed be possible.

Anyone else know anything about the ARB brackets for the GV?

I got a reply back from ARB and they said that those brackets do no exist.  :'(
