Curious to know which bumper people are recommending to go with a Warn 8274 winch on a 100 series LC. I don’t have a preference on ARB or any others. Post some photos or any advice you might have if you have done this to yours!

YMMV, but due to the size and design of the 8274 I don’t believe there is a production bumper that will support the 8274 on a 100 series. You would need to mount it quite forward of the grill to provide clearance

Thanks for the info. I agree it would be tough but I think doable. I am waiting on a response from @Rushing to see what all went into his as seen below. I was curious to know if anyone has put a different style bumper or modified and wbat went into it. I have 2 8274s and I’d like one to go on my 40 and one to go on my 100 if possible.

I am running the ARB “deluxe” I believe, the modern style ARB with the added fogs and turn signals. What made it work (with a little cutting) is that the winch mount on this specific bumper is on the front of the bar. I had to chop the support at the back of the bumper to clear the gearbox to make it fit, as well as a pretty major valence and grille chop. As far as I know, the ARB of this style is the only bumper offered with a front mount winch plate, and the only bumper that sticks out enough to give clearance for the winch on everything on the core support.

Thank you for all of the info! This looks great and if I can locate one of the bumpers locally I’m going to pickup and get to work! Love the mod and thank you!
The Slee Blueberry bumper might also be a good candidate for the 8274 winch. It fits the Warn M12000, which is also a feet forward winch. This is the older version but shown with some clearancing.

I always loved that bumper and wanted it for my 100. I never got around to purchasing one but might take another look now.
I’m not 100% certain, but most of the slee blueberries that I have seen have the winch plate flat, parallel with the frame. The 8274 would require a front facing winch plate, perpendicular to the frame due to the depth and height of the winch and the front mount design of the winch housing.The Slee Blueberry bumper might also be a good candidate for the 8274 winch.
