The JK Front Bumper — 8274 Aluminum Adventure Series delivers the Adventure Series styling in a lightweight yet stout aluminum package. Nearly every component has been redesigned using thicker, lighter aluminum to support one of the fastest, most trusted recovery winches ever mounted to a JK chassis: the legendary WARN M8274.
NOTE: This bumper will only fit the
WARN M8274 Winch
Looking for our Adventure Series styling in a lightweight but stout package? This bumper is engineered specifically for the WARN 8274 — one of the fastest pulling, heavy‑duty winches available for the JK Wrangler and a favorite among recovery experts.
Product Details
Crafted from a combination of 1/4" and 3/16" aluminum paired with 1" thick steel recovery points welded to a 1/4" steel inner winch tray, this bumper is lightweight where it matters and stout where it counts. It can be run as an ultra‑high‑clearance bumper or paired with the optional lower front skid, which fully protects the Rubicon sway bar disconnect motor — unlike many skids that leave the bottom or rear exposed.
The optional bolt‑on stinger is available in 7" and 11" heights and is built from 2" 0.120‑wall DOM steel. When installed, the stinger ties directly into the steel winch tray, creating a unified structural assembly between the bumper shell, winch tray, and stinger for maximum strength.
Lighting Options
This bumper is designed to reuse your factory fog lights inside the winch tray. If you prefer Baja Designs SAE fog lights (as shown in some photos), simply note this in your order. LP4 and LP6 lights can also be mounted on top of the bumper.
FAQ
-
What winch can I use with this bumper?
- This bumper only fits the WARN M8274 Winch.
-
Are soft shackles compatible?
-
Yes. The .900" chamfered eyelets accept soft shackles and standard 7/8" shackles.
-
Can I use my factory front skid plate?
-
No. The increased clearance places the bumper higher, leaving a gap the factory skid cannot reach.
-
Can I flat tow using the recovery points?
-
Yes. The recovery points are machined for tow bar pins and tie directly into the steel winch tray — the aluminum shell carries no tow load.
-
Can I order this bumper powder coated?
-
Yes. Lead times vary depending on color and workload.
-
What fog lights fit this bumper?
-
Most JK factory fog lights fit, except Rockhard edition steel bumper fog lights.
