Power bumper: features and description

Power bumper is an integral part of every jeep. In addition to its main function - protecting the SUV from unexpected obstacles - this bumper can be equipped with a special winch or places for installing a rack jack. Towing this car is much more convenient and safer than the standard options. All modern power bumpers also provide for the placement of various technological cut-outs and holes (as they say, just in case). The manufacture of power bumpers is made by special companies and some service stations, on which you can then install it. Let's see in more detail why we need a power bumper.

Characteristics and advantages over standard analogues

Often a power bumper is installed by those motorists who exploit their iron friend in extreme conditions (off-road or unpaved roads without asphalt covering). Another bumper is useful for fans of hunting and fishing. Its functionality at times exceeds the performance of standard plastic bumpers, which at the slightest collision simply crack. Most of the time at the service station are those car owners who have already broken their standard bumper and do not want to buy it again. And this is a very reasonable solution, because installing a power bumper, and even with a winch, you become a real king of impassability. With such an off-roader, neither pits nor ravines are terrible. And do not be stuck - at any moment the winch will help you out.

What changes occur in the design of the car after the bumper is installed in the power?

Of course, the first thing that changes is the design of the machine. Having installed such a device, you instantly turn even the cheapest SUV into a real all-terrain vehicle. Such a car clearly does not remain without the attention of the public. In addition, you will not break your pickup, even if at high speed you enter it into the tree. Dimensions and design of the machine will remain standard. The equipped weight will remain almost the same.

What should I know when installing?

Some service stations immediately after the installation of the bumper offer drivers the replacement of the suspension for sports, as well as the reinforcement of the springs. But it is worth saying that this is just an extra waste of money. The weight of the bumper does not affect the properties and softness of your suspension in any way. All specifications will remain the same as before installation. The only thing that is possible is tuning the suspension after installing the winch, and then only at the request of the client.

And what about airbags?

After such tuning the speed of the airbags will not change. The sensors of the cushions are inertial, and besides they are placed not in the bumper, but on the frame itself. Their sensitivity to shocks remains the same as it was with plastic bumpers. At the expense of this experience is definitely not worth it.

Power bumper is an excellent solution for tuning your jeep.
