The Engineered Vintage 'GOAT' bumper - styled after the winch bumpers offered in the 70s, 80s, 90s by several different winch bumper companies, the 'GOAT' incorporates the timeless styling and versatility of older winch bumpers with modern technology and design.

Installation considerations
Inspect truck frame before installing this kit. Truck frame should be in good repair before installing. Frames that have rust holes, been cut, modified, drilled (other than for factory tow hooks or to mount 'GOAT') or that have any other damage should be professionally inspected and repaired before installation of Engineered Vintage winch mount kits and/or bumpers. DO NOT INSTALL ENGINEERED VINTAGE WINCH MOUNT KITS OR BUMPERS ON TRUCKS WITH DAMAGED, CORRODED, BENT, OR HEAVILY MODIFIED FRAMES.
What winches fit?
With the variety of winches available on the market today, note that not all winch combinations may work. However, rest assured that the 'GOAT' is designed to fit a wide variety of winches.
Installer should consider how their particular winch will be operated once installed (how to reach winch controls once winch is mounted) and check with their winch manufacturer on capability of their particular winch.
The 'GOAT' is designed to mount feet down & feet forward style winches with the common 10” x 4.5” bolt pattern as well as the less common 6.5” x 4.5” Badlands winch pattern and also the WARN 6” x 4.5” bolt pattern used on their competition/short drum "RC" winches.
