The question is where. A lot of stock front ends do not offer a clean, strong spot to mount one, and a winch is only as good as what it is bolted to when the rope comes tight.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/can-am-defender-front-bumper-for-2020-up-models\">Can-Am Defender Front Bumper with LED Lights (2020+)<\/a> solves that with a winch mount built right in. It also adds integrated LED lighting, so the front of the Defender works harder in two ways.<\/p>\n<h2>Built around the winch<\/h2>\n<p>Because the winch mount is part of the bumper, the winch sits where it is protected and lined up for a straight pull off the front of the machine. That is what you want when you are dragging the Defender out of a creek bank or helping a buddy who buried his rig. Mounting it here also keeps the winch out front, where you can reach the controls and spool rope easily. Before you buy a winch, check that its mounting pattern lines up with the bumper so the install goes smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>A winch-ready bumper also means the winch is not hanging exposed under the machine, where mud and rocks can beat on it.<\/p>\n<h2>Lights that plug right in<\/h2>\n<p>The LED lights are plug-and-play and come with a wiring harness and a front dash switch. You do not have to splice into factory wiring or run your own relays. Flip the switch from the driver&#8217;s seat and the lights come on, which is handy for late trips back from the stand or chores after dark.<\/p>\n<h2>What is included<\/h2>\n<p>Here is what comes with the bumper:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Front bumper with built-in winch mount<\/li>\n<li>Integrated LED lights<\/li>\n<li>Wiring harness<\/li>\n<li>Front dash switch<\/li>\n<li>Mounting hardware<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A winch is not part of the listed contents, so you can choose the one that fits your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the winch and lights, a front bumper gives the nose of the Defender something sturdy to take the hits from brush, branches and the occasional stump. On a work machine that pushes through overgrown fence lines and wooded trails, that matters.<\/p>\n<h2>Fitment<\/h2>\n<p>This bumper is for 2020-and-newer Can-Am Defender models. Confirm your year before ordering, and think about any other front accessories you already run. Questions?
