Bumper

What kind of bumper does everyone recommend? I like the EMP but we almost tore my buddies off winching at windrock

I like the Polaris front bumper my self.....

i have the EMP bumper no problems winching love it

EMP = garbage, trash ,shit and junk and there customer service sucks ass also they can

Dont pay attention to above post, roadie can tear up a rock with a rubber hammer, he has broke more off the wall stuff on his machines than anybody ever has. emp stuff works great for the other 99% of us.

Sorry but there pure JUNK if you use it

Jody T and Dan both have this bumper, and both have had to do a lot of reinforcement welding
to keep it together!!! All you have to do is search EMP bumper on the Southern SXS Riders
forum, there's plenty of detailed pix and discussion on this bumper!

had mine on 2 yrs. winched alot of other machines and some on mine pushed trees over and still no problems

I got rid of the Polaris bumper after it kept bending back towards the head lights. I went with a SuperATV bumper.

Nothing is going to hold up if you put a strong winch on it and try and pull a overloaded with bolt on crap dead weight sxs up a grade or out of a deep gully . For normal use, they do great, but if you plan on abuse, then pick whatever brand you want to none will hold up, so what im saying is emp stuff is as good as anything out there in the same price range.

so in other words don't use it when your stuck

like i said, regular stuck is no issue, pulling yourself up a mountain nothing will hold up for very long. Just for laughs, roadie give us a list of what you have broken

I have a lot of their products on mine, windshield, lift ect... and all have held up well, but I really think the
bumper could've been a little stronger for it's intended purpose!!! I am not bashing EMP, but clearly stating
the facts on this bumper. No one plans the situation in which they have to be winched, sometimes it is dead
weight, up a grade or out of a deep gully. Plain and simple the winch mount for my 5000# Viper Elite mounted
above the front diff hasn't failed, no matter the amount of strain it's been put under!
