WTB: DOI Winch mount for H3

[clickclickboom]

Wanted to buy DOI winch mount for H3. New/used, doesn't matter to me. Let me know if you have one you have sitting in a box you want to get rid of.

Not sure if this company is still up and running but the website is up to date with a copyright of 2016. They were a dealer of Matt's bumpers and is where I bought mine in 2011.

If you are unable to find a Defelice bumper, you could opt for the Predator bumper which is the same style.

Thanks, I'd really take either, I'm just not willing to pay full retail. If I can't find a cheaper alternative, I'll probably just build one, but I just really don't have the free time

Or you could just drive over to DOI and buy one direct from Matt. He's in your backyard (Waverly, IN). He might be locked into a no-compete agreement with Teaka, (which is why I sell my stuff direct). I have not seen him in years, and he may have shut down DOI. He had a baby and that changes everything.

I thought I heard he had shut down completely. I've been to his shop, but it's probably been 5 years. I'll probably spot him an email and see what's up.

Was looking at your stuff as well, but got no more than I'll use the winch rather have it hidden. Appreciate the help.

Also, Will your front skid work with the doi bumper?

Yes. It takes the early 06-07 style. I got brand new ones or a beat-up used one.

perfect, i'll connect when I get this sorted out. Most of the way through my dual battery install, and then onto the winch. It's only been sitting in the garage for a year.

The skid will have to mount on the underside of the bumper. You'll need adjust the leading bend slightly to make it set flush against the bottom of the DOI bumper, but it will work.

I have a thorparts skid plate and DOI winch mount. they work together.

You might search for a Predator bumper....nearly identical to the DOI. I'm not sure either is being made anymore.

Looked at those as well. They apparently only sell it with a winch. I'm open to either - just being cheap

Don't be cheap, you have a H3T Alpha/lux/offroad, nothing is cheap for H3/H3T's due to the fact most vehicle specific accessories have been discontinued. If you can't source the DOI or Predator 4Speedfunk makes a great alternative too.

If you can't find a hidden (underwater) winch bumper, I do have a couple "blem" front bumpers if you're interested...$749 ($50 off). The blems are so slight, you probably won't be able to find them. I marked them as "blem" because...well...you know...some Hummer guys get all teary-eyed if there is some sort of flaw, scuff, fingerprint, or piece of lint on their offroad bumper.... :roll:.

I will also be updating my personal truck with a new (blem probably) THORparts front bumper. No reason...other than I can. The one that's currently on the truck will be coming off. It has a welded-on bull bar, and lots of scrapes, scratches, and a dent in the drivers-side light pod. I will even pound the dent out for you. This is the original THORparts prototype so it has a few minor differences from the later production bumpers, that I sell.

Appreciate it CJ, I'm pretty set on the hidden winch for no more than i'll use it.
