Pro Armor Race Bumper / Warn Winch Review 3TV
06-22-2008
I use my Rhino for back country exploring, which sometimes requires the use of a winch to safely get to your destination. I wanted a winch bumper that was light in weight, had an excellent approach angle, and had that "race" look to it. Pro Armor makes a race bumper that fit those...
The Pro Armor bumper bolts to the frame in the OEM bumper mount locations. There are L-shaped pieces welded to the ends of both the upper and lower tubes. The upper L-shaped bracket has a bolt that goes into the frame from the center, and the nut is underneath the Elka remote reservoir in this picture. The lower L-shaped bracket has a bolt that goes down through from the top, and a nut underneath the frame keeps it in place.
There are mounting tabs welded to the upper tubes of the Pro Armor bumper that a winch mounting plate bolts to. The winch mounting plate has two sets of holes in it, one that fit the smaller (<4.0) winches, and another set that fit the 4.0 winches. The winch just bolts to the bottom side of the winch mounting plate. Pro Armor has two different skid plates for the front of the bumper, with the only difference in them being the size of the hole in the center of the skid plate. The hole is shaped like a shield, because that is Pro Armor's emblem, but the winch compatible skid plate has a big enough hole that the fairlead fits through it.

Wow...looking at that I don't see how it would ever work on my Grizz. BUT all hope is not lost. That is so simple in design, but very hot! Once I get my quad back together and ride the living crap out of it, I just may start fabricating my next mod.
