CavFab Predator Series JL / JLU Winch Bumper

[beachbumm78]

I already had the apex, and my stupid rugged ridge bumper is built for small winches, which prompted the search. I have a predator on order, but they seem pretty busy right now. Front and rear bumpers are done as of Friday, waiting on the front skid so I can get it. They offered to ship early without the front skid, but it all needs coating so I declined.

Gotcha! May as well wait a bit more. I haven’t ordered mine yet and trying to get it all decided before I do but may just have to start and order the bumper then go from there! Hopefully yours comes soon!

If I were in your shoes, I would wait. You will get to see me try the same combo you are eyeing.

That’s what I’m thinking of. I’m in no rush.

What is the weight of this bumper + Winch Plate? It looks like a great stubby option.

Right around 70 lbs all together.

Super cool shot of the predator bumper (with predator skid) and flat top stinger from one of our OG customers!

Random question, but anyone with a rubicon attempt to flip the disco motor? We didnt think to try this on our shop JL when we had it and was wondering if it was possible with our predator bumper.

I have that bumper and the skid. Winch and plate aren't installed yet since I got it back from powder coat just in time for the last wheeling I had time for before winter. I am not working on the Jeep for a bit (garage isn't heated...) but when I take the bumper off to mount the winch I could check. Gotta look up the bolt size, I recall seeing it's a pretty simple job. When I get to it, I will drop pictures on you if no one else does it first.

I was the one who emailed you about it. The winch plate does not clear the sway bar disco once you rotate it. I tried by best to cut some notches in the winch plate with an angle grinder

This is an older photo as it’s all I’ve got handy. But here ya go.

does that bumper come without the fairlead plate? I want to run that bumper without a winch.

the vantage bumper does not come with a fairlead. we understand some people will never use/ install a winch, so we incorporate that into the design to still make them look great regardless of a winch on it.
let us know if you have anymore questions
the link to the bumper is below.

Looks excellent! The crash skid really cleans up the front end.

Recently got in a customer shot of a new 392 build with a paint matched predator winch bumper!
