OZK Customs + Van Compass Winch Bumper (with optional Nerf Bar)

Van Compass Winch Bumper: When you use your adventure van in a variety of off-road conditions, especially if you like to go where fewer people can go, self-recovery is an important option to consider. And if you’re specifically looking for a winch mount bumper to cover both protection for the front of your vehicle, and house self-recovery and winch mounts, the precision-built option from Van Compass boasts thoughtfully integrated design specifically for the off-road conversion van.

This subtle, low-profile front bumper is built around the Warn Zeon 12 winch, an industry leading option for heavy off-road recovery. This is the winch you want in your bumper if you need to get your adventure van unstuck. During installation, the Van Compass winch bumper is heavily integrated into the van’s chassis, ensuring the chassis is properly loaded for safety during extreme recovery situations.

Precision manufactured and welded out of high strength 3/16” steel, the winch bumper will fit your Sprinter or Transit van perfectly, and is powder coated, primed, and painted in factory for maximum corrosion resistance and durability. The Van Compass Winch Bumper is compatible with common front-end sensors, such as adaptive cruise control and parking sensors. It also comes with two thick recovery points, and a 2” front receiver with a 300 lb static load capacity.

The Van Compass Nerf Bar is designed to be added onto the Van Compass Winch Bumper for either the Sprinter or Transit. Laser cut and crafted from precision bent 1.75” DOM tubing, the NERF bar adds protection and functionality to your winch bumper, as well as that extra boost of visual ruggedness. It may be a practical choice for your adventure van if you need to be able to push through brush, ensure your front end will withstand an accidental deer hit, or stand up to other off-grid type obstacles and terrain. Offering more versatility, the Nerf Bar is also ideal for mounting front lights to your van for added visibility in after-dark camp set-up or night-ops type off roading. We can always recommend Pathfinder light bars or PROWLR lights from Backwoods Adventure Mods. The NERF bar comes powder-coated and increases the versatility of the Van Compass Winch Bumper.
