AEV Protects Your Ram Truck With a Winch Hiding Bumper - Four Wheeler Network
Although they are all designed to protect the front of your 4x4, some are engineered to do more, and everyone wants their bumper to reflect their image of what their 4x4 is supposed to do. We've been wanting a winch on the front of our big 1-ton... We wanted protection and strength, but also something that worked with the style of the truck, something that is part working tow machine and part backcountry explorer (dare we say "overland rig". We've seen a lot of different and cool bumpers, but the modular stamped steel winch bumper from American Expedition Vehicles fit the bill for what we want this truck to be. It houses a massive winch rated at 16,500 pounds and a handful of lights... Being among the first people to get to install this bumper, we took a few days to get the job done because the bumper comes in pieces you assemble instead of one giant hunk of welded steel. No matter how you want to phrase it, our Ram has new horns to protect it and new work shoes to get the job done. There are new frame brackets, and some trucks require the removal of the intercooler to get these frame brackets on. AEV has simple, easy instructions, but you need to be sure to order the correct bumper for the year of Ram you are installing... Source: www.fourwheeler.com
