8274 on an 80? (1 Viewer)

[FJnAK]

I spaced mine back about an inch, then trimmed the bumper and lower bar to fit.

Its a great winch and has freed me from some pretty good stucks.

Here is my rig. ARB Commercial bar/Warn 8274.

Before I mounted lights.

After lights mounted.

Some detail shots of the Commercial bumper fit. It will look better once I get the balls to remove the flares.

Warn 8274 fits perfectly.

Where do you find that bumper? When I was looking all I ever saw was the winch or non winch. My dad has an 8274 on his jeep that he is gonna sell, if I had the bumper I think he would give it to me before he sold it.

I got it used a year or so ago and the guy I got it from had gotten it used a few years before. I think if you call ARB and prepay and are willing to wait. You can get one new. Jeff (whosthecoolguy) is in Canada and waited for his. Maybe he can post up the story of how he got his.

What's the primary diff between the two ARB bumpers? Is it the side wing tips or is the winch housing area different?

Thanks.

Mine is a little more narrow as it is designed for flareless rigs, the winch mounting area sticks a little further out, but a little higher to accomidate the 8274, the Deluxe has a big piece of metal on the bottom to cut down the approach angle and the Commercial doesn't. I know a guy with a Deluxe on his truck here in town. I'll try to do a side by side comparison.

how's the pulling power of the 8274 on an 80?

Just my opinion, but i feel with a snatch block and a tree you will have no problems with it. I have seen one bogg down when trying to pull a 80 up a hill and out of a mud hole. It kept pulling but reallllllly slow.

I figure those would have the pretty decent oompf, just knowing what they can do in the past rigs.

I haven't done a good bog test yet.

Here are a couple from others for comparison:

That is a nice looking bumper. I have an 8274 I need to put on my 81.
