ARB’s engineers have designed and developed a Summit Winch Bumper to suit the Dodge Ram 1500. Due to the size of the vehicle and its ability to tow up to 4.5 Tons (subject to vehicle specification) the Ram Summit Bumper has been designed to suit 12,000lb winches. To accommodate the larger winch sizes the lower pan of the Ram 1500 bar is a different profile to other Summit Bumpers and features additional bracing to achieve the higher winch loads. Testing has been conducted via FEA simulations, testing with ARB’s 30T press and fitted bar, and winch testing with ARB’s load cell to ensure that the bar assembly, chassis mounts and chassis perform as expected under winch load conditions.
ARB Bumpers provide reliable protection for your vehicle and its passengers, and are a solid base for mounting accessories such as driving lights and winches. Thoughtfully designed, superbly engineered and meticulously manufactured, the ARB Summit Bumper lives up to its reputation for quality and functionality. Building upon ARB’s proven air bag compatible mounting architecture, the Summit bumper incorporates unique design features such as a 30mm edge radius on the wings and center pan, wider press formed cover straps, 60.3mm top tubing, two-piece polyethylene buffers, and redesigned fog light surrounds. This bumper kit includes a winch install kit, fog light kit and wiring loom. ARB Bumpers for Toyota applications are available in Integrit powder coating for increased durability and corrosion protection. This proprietary polymer blend delivers incredible resistance to damage and bumpers are pre-treated with a zinc shield before being coated. Summit Bumper Kits for the Toyota Tacoma MY20-21 include a Camera Relocation Kit that allows the camera to be moved for a clear view without obstruction from the bumper itself.
