I really love the backbone that Detours Usa make, but I am poor and do not want to buy one. So, I plan to make one. But the only thing I wonder is what are some measurements if anyone has one and could help me out.

1. Top plate depth that the winch mounts on.
2. Front piece where rollers mounts:
- Length Side to side
- Height of inside and outside
- Length of the inside part

It would be great if I could get those measurements.

 

Anyone please help

 

I don't think anyone is gunna be able to help you here much, this is the only guy I know off on this forum that has installed it: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/detours-backbone-installation-write-up-17619/

Not trying to be dick but, a company and it's employees worked very hard to design, produce and market this product. If you can't figure out a way to duplicate a similar end result on your own save up and buy one, but please don't copy it millimeter for millimeter.

 

This might help

X2 it is ok to be creative and build something that is similar but is yours but don't take advantage of how hard it is to get a patented and copy someone else's designs. But hey they might not care so why don't you call them up and ask?

 

Im not trying to copy exactly. I just dont know the size of a winch so i dont know how big to make the bracket and I do not know how big the roller for the line is so I dont know how to big to make that either.
