Rival Winch Bumper

[Epsilon Phui]

Yes, I did see your post in the middle of my struggles. I looked up every install post I could find to see if there were any tips or tricks I could use. Tried bottle jacks on both sides similar to your solution before I started altering the metal. One of the best pieces of advice was to tap and die chase all the threads prior to installation, added a lot of time to the job but made a huge difference being able to thread the stuff together.

Was stuck a few times today in the snow. Debating this now.

How did you solve the issue with the lower active grilles? Did you manage to keep them when installing the winch? Thanks.

That picture is a bit deceptive. We made the bumper as low profile as possible while not having to cut/modify the active shutters and still fit a winch. There is very little room in front or behind the winch once the bumper skin is installed.

We have the warn VR-EVO 10S installed. If your winch of choice fits the dimensions below it should fit in our bumper.

Thanks for sharing. Did you keep the lower active grilles in place or did you remove them? It seems that many solutions require removal of the active grilles (on 3.0 V6 european Ranger Raptors) which might cause faults. Thank you.

Our bumpers do not require removal of the active shutters; we only remove a rubber shroud, at least here in the USA. Here’s our detailed installation video.
