Anatomy of a Wincher

Not all styles are available for all models and usually there is a default style for a particular model wincher. Please speak with your sales representative if you have questions about this or want something custom.

Bumper Only

The Bumper Only is just that. A heavy duty replacement bumper. It has no capability to mount a winch.

Winch Style

The Winch style is designed to mount a winch, like in the picture below.

Receiver Style

The Receiver style, rather than having a winch mount, is equipped with a 2″ ID receiver tube identical to what you would find on a trailer hitch. It’s useful for portable, cradle mounted winches and many other functions.

Grill Guards

By definition the Grill Guard is the center piece of a brush guard assembly, the piece positioned in front of the grill of the truck while the Light Guards are the outer tubes that protect the headlight and the corners of the truck. The grill guard is available in several styles.

Plate Style Grill Guard

The uprights are cut from 1/4″ plate with connecting tube at the top

Plate Style Grill Guard with Overlay

The normal plate style grill guard wrapped with a 1.5″ x .120 strip provides a large profile and reduces impact footprint

Hoop style grill guard

Bent from DOM tube, 90 degree bends; also, shown with light guards in this picture.

Full width Grill Guard

Same height grill guard: Using one piece of tube, the grill guard extends from side to side at the same height, replacing the optional light guards.

PreRunner style Grill Guard

Very similar to the “A” style, but leams 30° forward and comes standard with the supporting corner pieces.

Stinger style Grill Guard

Very similar to the PreRunner, but without the supporting corner pieces.

Stinger with interior bars

Intermediate Grill Guard bar (requires grill guard to be used)

Light Guard Connector

A tube that comes over the top of the grill guard and connects the two sides of the light guard.

Light Guards

Light Guards are the outer tubes that protect the headlight and the corners of the truck. Light Guards are available in Standard and Pre-Runner styles.

Not all styles are available for all models and usually there is a default style for a particular model wincher. Please speak with your sales representative if you have questions about this or want something custom.

Light Guard Connector

A tube that comes over the top of the grill guard and connects the two sides of the light guard.

Intermediate Light Guard Bar

A tube placed horizontally approximately at half the height of the light guard.

D Rings

The D ring is a non-removeable (and, thusly, very resistant to theft) swiveling tow point.

Shackle Mounts

The shackle mount is a “D” shaped eye with a nominal 1″ ID hole, 7/8″ thick. Designed to use with a 3/4″ screw pin type shackle (sold separately)

Rubber Dock Bumpers

A 6″ x 3″ x 3.5″ pair of heavy duty rubber blocks. Useful for pushing with your truck without marring the finish.

Turn Signals are available in either LED or Incandescent.

If you wish to use a different light, we’ll be happy to accommodate you. We can supply many lights or you are welcome to supply your own lights and we’ll fit them to the bumper. If we do not have the template for a light, you may need to send them to us for fitting and then we’ll ship them back with your order. There is an $85 charge for custom light fitting.

Light holes are not cut unless lights are ordered with bumper, or unless you request light holes. $75 for light holes, buckets, and mounts only.

Can I reuse the factory fog lights that came with my truck? With almost few exceptions those lights snap into the bumper using plastic tabs and do not post mount like after market off road lights. If they can be remounted, that option will be listed in the drop down menu for light packages.

What does inner and outer light packages mean? Most bumpers can accept two sets of lights in the wings. Inner is closer to the center of the bumper, outer is closer to the ends of the bumper. Center refers to the middle portion of the bumper.

The light bar is a 1″ diameter tube designed to mount lights in the center of the bumper (lights not included).

• Standard comes with two light-mounting tabs.
• You may choose to have 3 or 4 light-mounting tabs, at extra cost.
• It is available whether you have a grill guard or not.
• Not available on all models.

The light bar is a place to mount additional lights over the winch box. It will either run between the uprights bars on the grill guard or will be formed and attach to the top of the winch bumper if you are not ordering a grill guard.

The light bar is designed to handle two lights. Additional light tabs can be ordered and the tab locations can be customized.
