Description
The Smoothie Hidden Winch Plate Bumper is crafted for off-road adventurers who value both style and utility. By positioning the winch behind the bumper, the design minimizes visual clutter while ensuring robust functionality. Key benefits include:
– High and tight fit to preserve the classic Bronco silhouette
– Hidden winch mounting points create a streamlined look
– Forward-facing mounts protect against damage during winching operations
Constructed from durable 3/16″ plate steel with reinforced 1/4″ frame mounts, this bumper combines strength with lightweight design. Additional features include:
– Optional shackle mounts, suitable for tow bar applications
– Reinforced jacking points for increased durability
– A center hoop option to enhance aesthetics and utility
Please ensure compatibility with your specific winch model, as this bumper supports non-integrated style winches such as Warn XD9000, Warn VR8000, Warn M8000, and Badlands 12K. Please heed the recommendation of using synthetic rope for optimal performance with this bumper.
