| Anatomy of a Wincher |
Since we don't believe in the "Here is our bumper; take it or leave it" style of business, every Wincher
is fully configurable. Therefore, every Wincher starts out as just a basic bumper ----------------------->
is fully configurable. Therefore, every Wincher starts out as just a basic bumper ----------------------->
Most Winchers are available in one of 3 basic styles: Bumper Only, Winch style, Receiver style.
The Bumper Only is just that. A heavy duty replacement bumper. It has no capability to mount a
winch.
The Winch style (obviously, I would hope) is designed to mount a winch, like in the picture above.
The Receiver style, rather than having a winch mount, is equipped with a 2" ID receiver tube
identical to what you would fine on a trailer hitch. It useful for portable, cradle mounted winches
and many other functions

Brush Guards, Grill Guards, Light Guards, etc.
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.
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. Here are the basic styles:
