Next Venture Motorsports 8274 Aluminum Adventure Series Front Bumper & Lower Skid Plate + Light Mount - Bare

**NOTE: This bumper will only fit the Warn M8274 Winch**

Looking for Next Venture Motorsports' Adventure Series styling in a lightweight but stout package? They have modified their Adventure Series bumpers, by changing out nearly every component for a slightly thicker, however lighter weight aluminum component. This particular bumper, is designed for one of the fastest pulling, heavy duty winches available that will bolt onto your JL/JT Chassis: The Warn 8274. This is about the fastest winch you can fit onto the front of your Jeep and is definitely a favorite among the recovery experts we have talked with.

Crafted from a combination of 1/4" and 3/16" Aluminum, along with 1" thick steel recovery points welded to a 1/4" thick steel inner winch tray, this front bumper is both lightweight and stout-where-it-counts so that you can hit the hardcore trails with confidence!

This bumper can be run by itself, as an ultra-high clearance bumper, or configured with the lower front skid as shown. The lower front skid fully protects the Rubicon sway bar disconnect motor -- many on the market only appear to but leave the very bottom or back of the disconnect components exposed.

The tube work shown is a bolt on stinger, available in a 7" height and 11" height as measured from the top of the bumper. The tube work is bolt on, and made from 2" 120 wall DOM Steel. The tube work ties into the bumper's inner steel winch tray when bolted in, offering greater strength and tieing all 3 components (stinger, shell and winch tray) together once fastened into place.

FAQ

What winch can I use with this bumper?

This bumper will only fit the WARN M8274 winch. If you are looking to use a standard winch, check out the regular Aluminum Adventure Series Front Bumper.

What shackles are compatible and can I use soft soft shackles directly in the recovery point of the bumper?

Every bumper includes laser-cut, 1" thick steel recovery points that bolt directly into the frame and features a .900" smooth chamfered cut eyelet that is compatible with soft shackles and regular 7/8" shackles.

Can I use this Front bumper with my factory front skid plate that came with my steel bumper package?

No. Due to the increased approach angle and clearance NV was after, the bottom of this bumper sits much higher than the factory bumper and leaves a significant gap. The factory steel bumper package front skid that bolts to the bumper simply doesn't reach high enough to bolt in place.

Can I flat tow using the recovery points on this bumper?

Yes. The recovery points are machined to match the size of most tow bar pins -- thus eliminating the need for bolt-on adapters anywhere. The recovery points are connected directly to the frame via the steel winch tray and do not rely on the aluminum bumper body whatsoever -- the aluminum bumper body takes no load while towing.

Can I order this bumper Powder Coated?

Yes. However, the lead time can vary greatly depending on the choice of powder coat and other things in the queue. Please call us if you would like to order this bumper powder coated in a color other than our standard texture black.

What Foglights can be mounted in this bumper?

There are 3 different mounting patterns found on OEM/Factory Fog Lights. Need help identifying which lights you might have? Click here!
