Aluminum Front Integrated Winch Bumper | TWO IN STOCK!
3 Attachment(s)
We are thinking about making our Blitz Front Winch Bumper in an aluminum option. The cost and labor of aluminum would add about $300 to the price (powder coated would be around $1100) but would be about half the weight. (around 30-35lbs).
Would you be interested in an aluminum option? |

I'd only be interested in aluminum if it comes with FEA from various loading scenarios

When it comes to armor id go with steel. While its heavier than aluminum, it provides superior protection. Then again if people are buying just for looks, it may be a favorable option.

Aluminum also works for people like me that don’t off road in an environment where you need “armor.” Soft deep sand and mud is very different from rock crawling. I would like to add a hidden winch behind a bumper that allows winch access, but doesn’t weigh a ton. I don’t need a bumper that can withstand repeated bashing into rocks.

I’m the guy that asked about this on Facebook. Hope you guys eventually have an aluminum option.

I am totally down for this if it were to be a full bumper and cover front lights as well for protection from deers etc.

We will be releasing a full front bumper with an aluminum option in the next month or two.

I’d be interested for this reason. Along the same lines, I wouldn’t need the light bar cutout or the bull bar. Is that an option?

I would be interested, not immediately but eventually.
Regarding aluminum for protection as some have commented, I would think with a hybrid bumper your plastic on each side would get damaged long before the hybrid bumper. So not sure what advantage steel would be unless you hit a tree head on.

We do offer it without the bull bar and have filler panel available for those that don't run a lightbar. Some have also painted the panel black to make it more subtle. We will have the same options if/when we make an aluminum version.
