Cow Catcher, steel bumpers

[Mule19]

Is the frame and front of a Power Wagon the same as a regular Ram 2500-3500? As to where a steel bumper will mount right up I understand I’ll have to do some finagling with the winch.

The bumper in mention I want to put on.

Yes the Power Wagon front bumper mounting points are the same as the standard Ram 2500. The PW is basically a Ram 2500 with some factory suspension mods, winch, and lockers.

Just note the front springs are a little softer on the PW. Though there are individuals who have mounted snow plows to the front of the PW without issue.

Ok thanks, I plan on getting thuren 1.5 springs to offset it

Dont mean to come off as a ***** or anything, but that bumper looks like it was built for a completely different vehicle. What draws you to that one?

No offense taken, I like it simple as that it’s built for ram 2500-3500 by peacemaker bumpers. I love steel bumpers in that style to.

Would be interested to see how this looks

I’d be having a conversation with the builder and get a written guarantee of proper fitment and winch compatibility with the PW.

Most aftermarket bumpers will have their own winch mount integrated, the PW of course has the frame mounted cradle behind the bumper.

You don’t want to buy it only to find the fairlead doesn’t align or the bumper blocks the clutch handle on the factory winch location.

Of course you can always remount the winch to a bumper, if that’s what you want.

It’s also possible a bumper builder who makes a winch bumper is counting on using the winch cradle holes in the frame to mount it. Which could conflict with retaining the factory cradle.

I ran into similar issues setting up my truck for flat towing where the towing baseplate had some conflict with the winch cradle hardware.

I haven’t looked yet but I’m just assuming the winch cradle drops out, as in it is just bolted in and can easily be removed.

I'm still wondering who makes these bumpers... This was posted by @Grand Mesa a few weeks ago when Mesa County posted this pic on their website... I think they actually flow really well with the Ram lines.

one thing for sure is we all have different tastes...it would be pretty boring if we were all the same. I see some rear bumpers I like. Prices are fair as well for quality USA made bumpers.

I would contact them being they make them and see if they can make one special for the PW winch set up. Might be one of those companies that say if you have a PW bring it by and we will make it fit and give you one for your troubles.

Absolutely I’m just hitting up the forum, bumpers is soon on my list of things to do, all depends on what the military does with me in regards to orders and duty station.

Sorry for hijacking the thread but I too would like know who makes this? That's the bumper I'm looking for for my 2020! Looks very similar to the ARB on my Titan.

Another view of a local law enforcement vehicle...

Update: I found another photo of an older Mesa County Sheriff vehicle of which the front bumper is a WARN. WARN is imprinted on the bumper next to the lower driver's side fog lamp.

Anyone recognize this manufacturer label?

Someone made an awesome bumper thread not to long ago. Had a huge list of links in it.

Only thing you need to be careful of is with the diesel models. Plenty of room for a winch on a 2500-3500 hemi. Here is a pick of mine with a TDK bumper with a winch (behind the flip up license plate).
