Does the super ATV bumper inhibit the tilt of the box?

Nope. Had heard it did a bit but on a 2019 it doesn’t .

Thanks, I ordered it.
Putting on a 2021 will post if there are any issues.

With the rivet nuts ? Put a lock washer on them to collapse them and then take lock washer off and install bumper .
If you don’t the rivet nut will just spin and not collapse.

If you want to make the drive to Leduc I can lend you a rivnut tool.

Is that bumper held on with just the rivnuts?

I will let you know if I need it

The lock washer work easy . I had the tool as well but needed the bigger handled tool for the bigger nuts .
Yes it’s held on with just the nuts .
Could put longer bolts and normal nuts on with some more drilling.
If you destroy the way it’s mounted you will be wrecking a lot of other things . Lol

How do you like the strength of the bumper mounting? Superatv says it’s winch capable, do you think it would stand up to that?

Yeh Superatv say they have picked the whole machine up with winch and back bumper .
I wanted the bumper more to protect the rear corners of the box and lights from getting smashed if back into tree or something.
Winching off the box doesn’t seem like a good idea but it seems very strong .

I’m gonna be mounting a rear winch on my machine, and that bumper is the best one Available in Canada right now. I like the looks of the bumper but not wild about using the stock plastic box hinges when winching.....have to do some mods to incorporate some steel hinges...

Installed the super ATV bumper.
It doesn't impede the normal box tilt but runs into the tires when you pull the pin to let the box down further.
Im happy with the quality of the bumper.

Switched out to some Carnivore 32-10-14 on stock wheels and wow !!
What a different machine for ride and handling . Not going to be near as good in the mad obviously but will keep stock tires for that .

No issues with rubbing with those 32's? Thinking about throwing them on my XMR.

I have 32" carnivores as well, no rubbing at all.

What brand and size is your front light-bar?
Does it increase the overall height?

That looks good but I cant go any higher or will not be able to drive into my trailer.

You pick how high up to mount, I can tell you mine is mounted below the roof line.
