Total width of this unit is 60”. Body tubs are 59”. With this dimension, there is a chance of protecting the fender from vertical walls, tree or shopping carts. Fender tubes can be added so brush won’t get between the bumper and fender, which might pull the fender down and back. The 60” is also better is traffic. Bottom line is that this is a full size bumper that is not obtrusive visually, is not overdone, provides full front protection, still has great approach angles and a very distinct look. These bumpers stand alone in status and style. For hard core and competition, we have other stuff.

Moving on, the Rubicon 60 is the original platform on which the complex sequence of 45° forming began, used as a standard design practice since 1991 after which a patent was applied for and approved. This forming method allows for more approach and departure angles. This design also drops the winch 2” lower into the bumper to assist in radiator air flow and lower center of gravity to a tiny degree.

The dropped winch deck has a recess built into it to accommodate the cooling fins and longer motor of the Warn HS9500i and 9500Ti. The bumper will accept Ramsey, Milemarker and Superwinch and other Warns of the 9500 lb. class or smaller that have a 41/2” x 10” bolt pattern to match the pre-cut holes in the bumper. A Fairlead mount will be needed to utilize the hawse or rollers that come with the winch. For upright Warn winches, the 8274 WM will be necessary.

Another thing trail bumpers of this caliber would be incomplete without is a recovery point. So, we provide Clevis tabs to be used with the popular ¾” Clevis. These use a 7/8” screw pin. Our Clevis tabs are burned from 1” steel and are drilled for the 7/8” pin. When installed, centered on the 45° form, they receive about 10 ½” of ¼” wide continuous weld. With the combination of thick material, large surface area, a lot of weld and positioned on the form line, well, these puppies are on there. They are also placed approximately 2” off of the front center section of the bumper on the wing face. This points them 16° side ways to relieve the Clevis of stress created from a side pull when your only anchor point is ‘over there’. If a straight pull is done, 16° is not going to stress a Clevis. Theoretically, if we kept to these numbers, there would be a 64° range of motion for the cable, 32° on each side of center line of any vehicle.

Mounting:
These bumpers bolt up in the stock mounting holes. Auxiliary tabs are supplied for the TJ. Adequate fasteners are supplied with the bumpers.
