Hanson - Jeep / FJ40 60" Front Bumper(CJ, YJ, TJ, LJ, Toyota FJ40)

Bottom line is that this is a full size bumper that is not obtrusive visually, is not overdone, provides full front protection, still has great approach angles and a very distinct look. These bumpers stand alone in status and style. For the real hard-core among you, and for competition , we have other stuff.

Moving on, the Rubicon 60 is the original platform on which the complex sequence of 45° forming began, used as a standard design practice since 1991 after which a patent was applied for and approved. This forming method allows for more approach and departure angles. This design also drops the winch 2” lower into the bumper to assist in radiator air flow and to lower the center of gravity a certain degree.

The dropped winch deck has a recess built into it to accommodate the cooling fins and/or longer motors of the Warn HS9500i and 9500Ti winches. The bumper will accept Ramsey, Milemarker and Superwinch, and others as well, of the 9500 lb. class or smaller, that have a 4 1/2” x 10” bolt pattern to match the pre-cut holes in the bumper. A Fairlead Mount is included to utilize the hawse or rollers that come with the winch.

NOTE: For using an upright Warn 8274-style winch, the W8274 Winch Mount (purchased separately) will be necessary. JR61402

Another thing that trail bumpers of this caliber would be incomplete without is a recovery point. For this we provide Clevis Tabs to be used with the popular "3/4" type screw-pin Clevis/Shackle. These use a 7/8” diameter screw pin. Our Clevis tabs are burned from 1” steel and are drilled for the 7/8” pin. When installed, centered on the 45° form, they receive about 10 ½ inches of ¼ inch wide continuous weld. With the combination of thick material, large surface area, a lot of weld and positioned on the form line, well, these puppies are on there. They are now placed on the front center section of the bumper, facing forward, making them a useful anchor point for many things.

Mounting: These bumpers bolt up in the stock mounting holes and include all needed fasteners.

NOTE: '76-'86 CJ models require our JRF-CJ auxiliary brackets, available for $30.

INSTALLATION NOTE: On TJ/LJ vehicles, some (very) minor trimming of the bracket can sometimes be required to properly line up with the holes in the frame. What happens here is that when the factory anti-sway bar is retained and our bumper's bracket is laid over the top of the bar's clamp, the bar's mounting bolt can sometimes interfere slightly with our upper bracket. In most cases it does not. And in some cases the interference is so slight that simply turning the bolt head so that a flat side faces forward is enough to clear. In the worst cases, you might have to file or grind a fraction of an inch from the tip of our bracket. So verify fit BEFORE mounting your winch so that it's easier to work with.

The dropped winch deck has a recess built into it to accommodate the cooling fins and longer motor of the Warn HS9500I and the 9500Ti. The bumper will accept Ramsey, MileMarker, Superwinch and other brands of winches in the 9500 lb. or smaller class , that have a 4 ½” x 10” bolt pattern to match the pre-cut holes in the bumper. A Fairlead Mount is included with each bumper to utilize the hawse or rollers that come with the winch. For mounting an upright Warn 8274-style winch, the W8274 Winch Mount will be necessary.

One other thing that trail bumpers of this caliber would be incomplete without, is a recovery point. So, we provide Clevis tabs to be used with the popular "3/4" type Clevis (actually, a Shackle). These use a 7/8” screw pin. Our Clevis tabs are burned from 1” steel and are drilled for the 7/8” pin. When installed, centered on the 45° form, they receive about 10 ½” of ¼” wide continuous weld. With the combination of thick material, large surface area, a lot of weld and positioned on the form line, well, these puppies are on there. They are now placed on the front center section of the bumper, facing straight ahead. This isn't quite as desirable as the old way, which pointed them 16° sideways to relieve the Clevis of stress created from a side pull when your only anchor point is ‘over there', but this position is more versatile in other ways.
