Which Winch Bumper Should I Buy?

[Pathung]

The ARB bumper is now listed on the brand's USA website: https://arbusa.com/ford-ranger-2019-on/bumpers-protection-equipment/summit-bumper/, though the local 4Wheelparts store doesn't yet list it.

Looks pretty good to me (note radar sensor on front of bumper), though I'd do away with the brush guard:

I like the ADD one. It doesn't look big and bulky and it has a sleek/modern look. I also like the light bar recessed and that the winch is tucked away.

Tyler, not sure if you saw my post in your crash thread. Found this bumper from RRW I think they are in sale right now too.

Thanks, yes I did see it. Unfortunately, I think that might be one of the uglier off-road bumpers I’ve seen.

Hahaha! Might be the reason it's on sale

Well, the ADD bumper is out now too. I did some research speaking with both them and Stage 3, turns out the ADD bumper only holds small winches and has only been tested with the Smittybuilt x20. It will not fit the Warn Zeon 10s so it’s not an option for me. I won’t budge on winch reliability so...looks like the inadvertent winner due to process of elimination is the Warn Ascent bumper.

Ordered the Warn bumper. Case closed...

Who did you get it from? From what I saw 3 stage had the best price

Yep, I ordered it from Stage 3.

Looking forward to seeing the pics and hearing about the install. Are you going to mount a winch right away?

 

[Pathung]

Do you have the weight of the Warn bumper?

I’m hoping to.

Spoke to Warn, the bumper without pre-runner tubes is 130lbs. Only 5lbs more than the Fab Fours bumper which doesn’t have a winch mount. I’m happy with that weight considering the amount of protection it provides along with supporting a winch.

Great info, thanks.
