Okay so I have read all the pro and con threads on the material type but here is the question I am still left with. Some aluminum bumpers say they need steel reinforcement for the winch In turn adding more weight. Some don’t say that. So I have been looking at demello off-road aluminum 60ish lbs Baja bumper (beautiful design) and brute force steel bumper at 120lbs (I like the height of the bull bar for more protection). The demello does say anything about said added reinforcement if running a winch. “Standard winch mount for 8000-10000lb winch (note winch solenoids will need remounted)Weight 40-60lbs depending on options”
Any one know if they had to add anything for the winch when running demello if so I may just go with steel if the end result is the same weight?? hope that made sense! That’s in advance for any input on this..
