It is 5:15 in the morning, the truck is still ticking in the driveway, and the Defender is loaded with a climbing stand, a rifle case and a thermos. The trail to the food plot is narrow, overgrown and pitch black. That ride is where a Can-Am Defender earns its keep, and it is also where the stock front end shows its limits.<\/p>\n

Our Can-Am Defender Front Bumper with LED Lights (2016-2019)<\/a> was built for that kind of use. It is a front winch bumper with integrated plug-and-play LED lights and its own wiring harness, and it bolts on to 2016-2019 Defender models.<\/p>\n

It is built with durable construction for off-road use, so it fits a machine that spends more time in pastures and timber than on a showroom floor.<\/p>\n

A winch turns a stuck Defender into a ten-minute delay instead of a long walk home. It is also handy for chores, like dragging a downed tree off a trail or pulling a deer up a steep bank. This bumper gives you a dedicated winch mounting location up front, so recovery gear is part of the machine instead of something you wish you had.<\/p>\n
