Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a winch-ready bumper?

Only if you plan to mount a winch. Otherwise a bumper with D-ring tabs is sufficient for recovery straps.

What steel thickness should I look for?

3/16-inch for the main plate is the minimum for serious trail use. Premium bumpers use 1/4-inch.
