The JWO Front Steel Integrated Winch Bumper is designed and manufactured 100% in the USA for all G500, G550, and G55 AMG models up to 2015. This will not fit 2013-2018 G63 models and will not fit 463A models (2019-2023). Bumper can be made to fit 460 or 461 models upon request. This bumper gives a modernized, sleek look to the front of your G Wagon while offering a built in winch configuration, lighting options, parking sensor functionality, and optimized approach angles.
While the JWO Detachable Winch Bumper was focused on functionality and a rugged appearance, we spiced up the visuals of this model adding more aggressive lines. By having the winch integrated into the bumper, we were able to increase the approach angle even more over our previous design for users that look to optimize their off road capability. With the approach angle in mind, we chose to omit tow hooks from this design which would become the hanging points of the bumper. Rather, the winch hook can be stored against the fairlead and the tow hook(s) located at the skid plate can be used as pulley points if necessary.
We also wanted to expand our lighting options for this bumper. Based on the new design, depending on your vehicle's sensor integration, you can now choose to use Baja Designs Squadrons and/or Baja Designs S2 Pros as fog lights and cornering lights. When selecting your bumper configuration, the lights selected will be included in the purchase. We'll also include the wiring harness required to make the fog light functional for vehicles that have factory fog lights. If your vehicle does not have factory fog lights, you can still choose the lighting configuration you want, you will simply need to wire the lights separately. Dual Squadrons can only be selected if there are no parktronic sensors. To keep parktronic functionality, only one light per side can be used at this time.
As with all of our bumpers, this bumper is constructed entirely out of 1/4" steel. The only exceptions to this are the bumper to frame brackets/tow hooks and the sensor/light/cooler mounting tabs. The bumper to frame brackets themselves are 1/2" thick steel. No plastic covers. No thin sheet metal to form a "shell" around the bumper. This is a heavy duty, USA designed, manufactured, and tested bumper and arguably one of the stoutest in the commercial vehicle world. With all of this, the bumper itself weighs in UNDER 100 lbs. With a 10k winch installed, there is approximately 125-150 lbs total added weight over the factory bumper which, on a 6000 lb truck, is an insignificant difference.
Through our initial testing phase, we concluded that it is more likely that the frame of the truck itself will begin to deform before our bumper or winch tray so with this, we recommend the use of a 10k Load Rated Winch like the Superwinch SX10SR. or the Borne 10K Winch w/ MultiColor Rope. The winch pocket has the standard (4.5" x 10") winch mounting holes and a front plate with typical fairlead mounting holes and cutout for winch line to run through.
This bumper is designed to fit (when applicable) Parktronic sensors with factory mounting pieces, Baja Designs S2 or Squadron fog lights in place of factory fog lights with supplied brackets, hardware, and wiring adapters, and finally, the coolers of all G500, G550, and G55 AMG models in their factory location. This minimizes installation costs and effort during install while some other options require a good bit of modification to truly fit the truck. Given that all coolers remain in their factory locations, we have provided ample airway slots to keep air flowing directly to the coolers through our bumper. Our bumper also bolts directly to the frame at the factory mounting points via supplied hardware. Our bumper to frame mounting brackets are significantly reinforced over factory options and any other bumper we have seen on the market which will minimize the chance of bending during use like others have been known to do. Note that this bumper does not accommodate for the Distronic (adaptive cruise control) sensor. Because many of our clients either do not have this feature or it becomes inoperable based on other vehicle modifications in the suspension/tire department, we chose to omit this sensor functionality from the design for optimal symmetry and the best angles possible. If your vehicle has the distronic sensors and you have questions about adaptation, please feel free to contact us for more information on this or any other questions you have.
We spend a lot of time trying to optimize our designs and offerings. Even so, we may have missed something or you might have a better idea! For any questions, recommendations, or potential custom modifications to our design, please reach out to us at JackWagonOverlanding@gmail.com and we will do what we can to make our bumper work for your needs. Bumpers are made to order, in house so there is always the potential to customize to your specific needs!
Bumper Purchase Includes:
-Mounting Hardware to mount the bumper onto the truck
-Textured Black or Smooth Satin Black Powder Coating
-Cutouts, bracketry, and mounting hardware for MB sensors (Parktronic only - Distronic Inoperative). For models without these features, the cutouts shown are left uncut and the accompanying items are left out of the kit.
-Baja Designs S2 or Squadron Lights, cutouts, bracketry, mounting hardware, and wiring adapter harness for models with factory fog lights or clients that want to upgrade their bumper to include these. *Factory fog lights will not fit into this bumper. For any model with factory fog lights, Baja Designs lights must be used in their place and this is done simply by unplugging the factory fog lights and plugging in the wiring adapter followed by the Baja Designs lights in their place. For models that don't have factory fog lights but wish to add the Baja Designs fog lights to the bumper, a separate wiring harness will need to be purchased to hardwire the lights into the truck as with any additional auxiliary lighting option. If you have other fog lights you wish to use, message us and we may be able to make the bumper to fit your current lights as well.
-Freight Shipping to USA Addresses - while some bumper listings do not show the shipping price, we have this already figured into our pricing model so the price you see is the price you pay. Freight shipping alone on bumpers and other large items is in the ballpark of several hundred dollars minimum. When you shop bumpers that don't include shipping, this can be very misleading to your budgeting. If you are located outside the USA, please message us for export shipping prices.
