For years now, Cherokees have been hitting some serious off-road trails, many without one of the most fundamental recovery tools: a winch. Why? Because few mounting options existed. There were a few integrated winch bumpers, or you could foot the bill for two receivers, some extra wiring, and a sore back. Or you could have an expensive custom winch bumper built to your liking. More recently, several companies have been producing bolt-on winch bumpers for this popular Jeep. We got a hold of a new prerunner style bumper from Truck Farm. The Proto Fabbuilt Pro Farm Bumper will bolt onto any Cherokee and holds a wide array of winches. We opted for a winch from the Ramsey Platinum series line to take care of pulling duties. The Platinum 9000 offers a 4.8hp heavy-duty electric motor and 150 feet of 5/16-inch galvanized aircraft cable.
