RC4WD #3 LOWEST ALUMINUM BUMPER MOUNT FOR TRAIL FINDER 2 – Z-S0003

#3 LOWEST HEIGHT • CNC-MACHINED ALUMINUM • DIRECT-FIT TRAIL FINDER 2 UPGRADE

Set the bumper at the lowest available position in this RC4WD mount family with a rigid CNC-machined aluminum replacement designed for the Trail Finder 2 chassis.

CONTROL THE BUMPER POSITION—WITHOUT GUESSWORK

Bumper height affects more than appearance. It can change body-line alignment, approach and departure clearance, winch placement, tire clearance and the way a scale bumper sits against the body. RC4WD offers three visually similar mounts with different vertical geometry, so the correct part number matters.

This listing is for #3, the lowest-height version (Z-S0003). Choose #3 when the build requires the greatest bumper drop of the three RC4WD options. It sits below #2 middle and #1 straight. Confirm body, tire, bumper and winch clearance on your exact build before ordering.

WHY UPGRADE TO ALUMINUM?

The factory-style plastic mount is appropriate for many standard builds, but a heavier scale bumper or winch arrangement can place extra leverage on the mounting point. This RC4WD replacement is CNC-machined from aluminum for a more rigid foundation and finished in smooth black anodizing for a clean, understated installation.

• Material: CNC-machined aluminum.
• Finish: Smooth black anodized surface.
• Fit: Direct fit for the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 chassis.
• Position: #3 lowest-height geometry.
• Purpose: Replaces the plastic-style bumper mounting component with a rigid aluminum part.

SELECT THE CORRECT HEIGHT

Fitment rule: match the SKU to the required vertical position. Do not choose by appearance alone; compare the mount number, bumper design, body height and intended front or rear application.

FITMENT AND BUILD PLANNING

RC4WD specifies this mount as a direct fit for the Trail Finder 2 chassis. Custom bodies, body lifts, nonstandard frame layouts, third-party bumpers, receiver hitches, winches and steering or suspension changes can alter the space available around the mount.

• Confirm that your chassis is an RC4WD Trail Finder 2 and verify the listing SKU before purchase.
• Measure the desired bumper centerline relative to the body before disassembly.
• Check full steering lock and suspension compression for tire-to-bumper contact.
• Check winch spool, fairlead, wiring and body clearance when a winch is used.
• Compatibility with other chassis is not guaranteed; modification may be required.

INSTALLATION NOTES

1. Photograph or mark the existing bumper position before removing the original mount.
2. Inspect the frame rails, bumper posts and fasteners; replace damaged or incorrectly sized hardware.
3. Test-fit the aluminum mount and bumper before final tightening.
4. Center the bumper and confirm body, tire, hitch and winch clearance throughout the suspension and steering range.
5. Tighten evenly. If threadlocker is appropriate, use a small amount only on clean metal-to-metal threaded joints and keep it away from plastic.
6. Recheck all fasteners after the first trail session or any hard impact.

The manufacturer lists one mount as the package content and does not publish dimensions or weight for this item. No unverified measurements are stated here.

REAL-WORLD APPLICATION REFERENCE

RC4WD’s installed photographs illustrate this mount on a Trail Finder 2 RTR 1982 Toyota Pickup with a Tough Armor High Clearance Winch Bumper and WARN 9.5cti-s winch. These items are shown only as an application example and are not included.

Installed photographs are useful for understanding relative position, but they are not a substitute for measuring your own combination of chassis, body and bumper.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

• 1 × RC4WD #3 lowest-height aluminum bumper mount for Trail Finder 2 (Z-S0003)

Not included: vehicle, chassis, body, bumper, winch, hitch, wheels, tires, electronics and any other accessories shown for demonstration. Mounting hardware is not listed by RC4WD as a separate included item; retain suitable original hardware or source the correct fasteners for your installation as required.

TECHNICAL SUMMARY

GASHEAD RC FITMENT CHECK

Before checkout, verify three things: Trail Finder 2 chassis, exact SKU Z-S0003, and the lowest-height bumper position. If your build uses a custom body or third-party bumper, measure first. Selecting the correct height now is faster than solving body-line or clearance problems after assembly.
