Most Defender owners start thinking about recovery the day they first get stuck. They add a winch up front, and then they realize the back of the machine is still wide open to stumps, posts and whatever they back into while hooking up a strap.
Our Can-Am Defender Rear Bumper with LED Lights is the other half of a winch-ready setup. It is made of durable steel, has integrated plug-and-play LED lights with a wiring harness, and comes with mounting hardware for easy installation.
Building a winch-ready Defender
A good recovery setup covers both ends of the machine. Up front, our Defender front bumpers have a winch mount built in, so the winch has a solid home. Out back, this rear bumper protects the rear of the Defender when you are backing toward a stuck buddy, working near trees or maneuvering in tight spots during a pull. Together, the two bumpers give the Defender a complete, protected setup front and rear.
Lights where you need them during a recovery
Recoveries rarely happen at noon on a clear day. They happen at dusk, in the rain or deep in the woods. The integrated LED lights on this bumper put light behind the Defender, which helps when you are backing up, checking straps or working at the rear of the machine after dark. Plug-and-play wiring means no splicing into factory wires.
Steel protection for working machines
A Defender that hauls feed, pulls a trailer or backs into tree lines takes hits on the rear end. A steel bumper takes those hits instead of the factory plastics and the back of the machine. It also gives the Defender a tougher, more finished look to match a front bumper. For owners who use the machine every day on the farm or the hunting lease, that protection pays off the first time the back end meets a fence post.
Fitment and setup notes
This bumper is listed for the Can-Am Defender, and mounting hardware is included. Before ordering, check what is already mounted on the rear of your machine, such as a hitch or other accessories, so you know everything will work together. If you are planning a full front-and-rear setup and want help picking the right front bumper for your model year, call the Wild Boar team at 850-912-4350 and we will help you put it together.
