Multi Front Bumper delete

[cvj]

I am looking at getting a new 520, and was wondering what people think of deleting the front bumper and putting a more flat version on, so it does not stick so far out front, allowing it to be a little behind the front tires? That would also allow an easier loading into the back of a truck. I know there would not be enough space for a winch, but I am not looking at putting one on.

What kind of truck are you loading it on to?
Many folks don't have an issue like that when loading it on a truck. You can still put a winch on it. This was what my P5 same wheel base, looked like when it was im my truck. No issues. Plus I have an 8’ bed the only way to go IMO bit thats just me.
Also we encourage to use the search up top, your question might be answered there.

I have a japanese import flat deck with an 8' x 5' flat deck with fold down sides. 850KG payload, and carries our 2UP ATV fine. I was thinking with the shallow bumper, it would look more like the RZR style front end. Tried searching for anything regarding modifying, but came up short.

You don’t wanna look like that. It might catch fire.🔥

There’s hundreds of different style, P5 and P 520 bumpers out there. The guys have. I suggest to check out some of the builds on here to get ideas

Welcome from Alabama.
You might be able to transport the 520 backwards and keep the front bumper, although that might throw off weight load on the truck, and it's hard on a windshield at highway speeds. Good luck.

I'd try the backwards method.

1874 which is quite impressive for that truck... unless that's gross.

The Japanese build trucks a little different than in North America. Let me say, they do not have a lot of power (1800 cc Engine), but they get the job done, just a lot slower.

Is that one 4wd? I’ll admit, I’d try to run it on the trails if it was. I think they are cool.

@cvj I'm just joking but I do think they're pretty cool. Like JB said if that was 4WD I'd have fun with it on the trails. Though the long beds aren't as common there's a few of similar trucks around my neighborhood.

Just seen this one on the whey home

My neighbor a few houses down from me had a Honda for sale not long ago. If I had a bigger property to upkeep this would make for a great little work truck.

Yes it is 4WD. More people get the mini trucks like the Suzuki Carry, and put a lift kit and ATV tires on them.

Have seen lots of those trucks working in the Dominican Republic. Nice little trucks that can do a lot of work.
