HK Offroad - Winch Bumper Durability Test - Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ

We took our shops WJ to Dishpan Springs in pretty much stock form. With only a 3" lift and Michellin 29" all-season tires, we practically dragged our WJ by winching through the rock garden on the side of the waterfall obstacle. This video demonstrates the durability, the fit and finish and the approac angle our bumper offers. We are very impressed with the final outcome of this bumper. After several months of re-design after re-design, we ended up with 77.2 pounds of steel and It stands up to winching pressure which we designed it for. With it's recessed winch mount, the bumper offers excellent approach angle. Although this bumper may not be for every WJ owner because it does require you cut the factory cross-member located in front of the radiator.
