The black powder coat finish provides excellent corrosion protection, making it suitable for harsh environments and extended off-road use.
Special attention has been given to the wing design, which is upswept and tapered to reduce snagging on obstacles while providing comprehensive protection to the vehicle’s front corners. The inclusion of twin Hi-Lift jack points adds versatility for recovery and maintenance tasks, making this winchbar a practical choice for serious off-roaders.
