    Warn Industries Releases Bumpers for New Ford Bronco

    New front winch bumper offers a rugged style, increased off-road capability, and added protection to Ford’s highly anticipated new SUV.

    WARN Elite Series Front Bumper with Grille Guard Tube for Ford Bronco. The bumper is also equipped with a WARN ZEON 10-S winch and Epic Shackles, and Factor 55 Hawse Fairlead and FlatLink E Shackle Mount.
    • New bumpers for Ford Bronco are WARN winch-ready, and accept most WARN mid-frame winches up to 12,000 lbs. (5443 kg)
    • Pull-tested to stringent specifications by WARN engineers
    • Bumper includes welded eyelets for shackles; ports for OE or auxiliary lights; off-road jack tabs
    • Two versions available: With or without grille guard tube
    • State-of-the-art powder-coated finish for long-lasting corrosion/UV protection. 
    Clackamas, OR (7/21/21) – Hot on the heels of the Ford Bronco’s highly anticipated debut, Warn Industries has released its Elite Series Front Bumpers for the hot new SUV. These rugged bumpers allow Bronco buyers to add a winch for vehicle recovery, add extra protection to guard against trail hazards, and make Ford’s new Bronco even more capable.
    Built For Life Off Road
    The WARN Elite Series Front Bumper accommodates a host of WARN mid-frame winches up to 12,000 lbs. (5443 kg) in capacity.
    The new Elite Series bumpers feature advanced geometry specifically made to increase approach angles and articulation further improving the vehicle’s off-road capability. Plus, they’ll accommodate oversized tires. The integrated winch mount is engineered and tested for the high stresses of winching. The mount will allow for mid-frame winches up to 12,000 lbs. (5443 kg) including the WARN® ZEON®, ZEON Platinum, VR EVO, M8, XD9, XD9i, 9.0Rc, and 9.5xp.
    For even more vehicle recovery options, the bumper showcases ultra-strong precision-welded eyelets to accommodate shackles. There are also integrated jack points for lifting the vehicle using an off-road jack. 
    Additionally, the Elite Series bumper has recessed light buckets for either the OE fog lights or aftermarket units. 
    Two Versions
    WARN Elite Series Front Bumper without Grille Guard Tube for Ford Bronco. The bumper is equipped with a WARN ZEON 10-S winch with a relocated control pack, WARN Epic Shackles, Factor 55 FlatLink E Shackle Mount, and Factor 55 Hawse Fairlead.
    Warn is offering these Elite Series bumpers in two versions: One with a welded-on grille guard tube, and one without the tube. The stout tube offers additional protection to the winch as well as an aggressive look. However, Bronco owners with the forward-facing camera will probably want to opt for the version without the tube. They’ll also likely want to use one of the company’s winch control pack relocation kits (for ZEON and VR EVO). The sleek no-bar bumper and winch control pack relocation will keep that camera free from obstruction as the factory intended.
    No matter which version buyers opt for, the Elite Series bumpers wear a state-of-the-art powder-coated finish with a five-step pre-treatment process and zirconium nanotechnology. This lets the bumpers stand up to rigorous 408-hour salt-spray tests and provides excellent UV protection to keep the product looking great for years.
    The new Ford Bronco is one of the most highly anticipated 4WD vehicles to be sold in recent memory. Warn Industries’ dedication to durability, quality, and innovation ensures the company’s Elite Series front bumpers will give Bronco buyers the features they need and a look to complement the rig’s rugged style.

  • Warn Industries Expands its Bumper and Mounting System Line; Offers All-New Forged Offset Hawse Fairleads

    Warn Industries Expands its Bumper and Mounting System Line; Offers All-New Forged Offset Hawse Fairleads

    Clackamas, OR (3/18/21) – Oregon-based Warn Industries has released a number of exciting new products into its ever-expanding lineup of truck accessories. This includes new applications in the company’s growing array of bumpers and mounting systems as well as a new line of ultra-rugged forged offset fair leads in the company’s expansive Epic line of accessories.

    Added Ascent Applications

    Warn Industries is continuing to expand its offerings of Ascent XP front bumpers. These bumpers are for truck buyers who want the aggressive style and rugged protection of a one-piece welded steel bumper, but don’t need to mount a winch. 

    Remarkably durable, Ascent XP has one-piece construction made from 11 gauge and ¼” steel for extra front-end protection. There’s a built-in slot to accommodate a 30” light bar (not included). Additionally, there are integrated dual light ports to mount auxiliary flood or spot lights (not included). For even more front-end resilience, Ascent XP showcases a welded-on Baja style grille guard tube. New applications include: 

    • Ascent XP for 2017–2020 Ford Raptor
    • Ascent XP for 2020–Current GMC Sierra HD 2500/3500
    • Ascent XP for 2019–Current Ram HD 2500/3500

    Additionally, there is a new Ascent Rear bumper application for the 2020–current Chevrolet Silverado 1500/2500/3500 and GMC Sierra 2500/3500. Ascent Rear Bumpers feature a low-profile design and help to maximize departure angles when off road. They have integrated corner steps for easy access to the truck’s bed, mounts for auxiliary lights, and accommodate sensors where applicable. They also retain the factory tow hitch, electrical plugs, and license plate lights. 

    All Ascent bumpers wear a durable black textured powder coat over 11-gauge steel that also withstand rigorous 408-hour salt spray testing, delivering up to 2X corrosion protection. They’re designed, tested, and precision made in the USA.

    Epic Offset Forged Billet Aluminum Hawse Fairlead

    Certain bumper applications require the use of an offset fairlead in order to run synthetic rope. Warn Industries now has fairleads to address this issue and they’re part of the company’s Epic line of accessories. 

    Made from exceedingly durable forged 6061-T6 billet aluminum, these unique offset fairleads are corrosion, impact, salt, weather, and UV-resistant for the ultimate in strength. Buyers can choose between a black or gunmetal type-III hard-anodized finish for years of good looks. The fairleads have a smooth, large radius to help maximize the life of the winch’s synthetic rope, and are for use with mid-frame winches that mount in a feet-forward position. The design language also matches existing items in the WARN Epic array of accessories. 

    New Trans4mer Gen III Application Rounding out Warn’s latest products is a new application in the ever-popular modular Trans4mer® Gen III mounting system line. Owners of 2020–current Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500/3500 trucks can now equip their rigs with this versatile mounting system. 

    The new application is designed to accommodate mid-frame WARN winches up to 12,000 lbs. in capacity including the popular VR EVO, ZEON®, or ZEON Platinum winches as well as a host of the company’s Classic Series products.

    The Trans4mer Gen III system is a simple, customizable, and modular way to attach a winch to a pickup. Buyers can customize the product to add optional brush guards (sold separately). This application includes heavy-duty brackets and a mid-frame winch carrier, provisions to mount 3″ cube lights, J-hooks for recovery, and a durable, high-tech powder-coated finish to stand up against corrosion. Like all WARN mounting systems, Trans4mer has been thoroughly tested and is made in the USA.

  • Ford Motor Company Announces Strategic PartnershipARB 4×4 Accessories for the New FordBroncoⓇ

    Ford Motor Company Announces Strategic PartnershipARB 4×4 Accessories for the New FordBroncoⓇ

    MOAB, Utah., March 30, 2021 – Accessory manufacturer, ARB announces a strategic collaboration with Ford Motor Company to develop a full suite of premium, aftermarket products for the all-new Ford Bronco. For the last few years, ARB has been working hand-in-hand with Ford designers and engineers to ensure each ARB accessory not only complements the Bronco’s heritage and performance, but is fully integrated into the original vehicle design.

    This strategic collaboration consists of ARB engineers and designers working together with their counterparts at Ford Motor Company. Chassis structural design, roof load-carrying capacity, suspension travel, snorkel air intake, air systems routing, fridge/freezer wiring, and other salient details necessitated not only CAD and vehicles, but more critically, access to the subject-matter experts who made the new Bronco a reality. The working relationship between Dear born and Melbourne has driven a portfolio of innovative accessory solutions for Bronco customers ready for vehicle launch.

    Early in the rebirth of the Bronco, Ford Motor Company called in a panel of industry experts, including ARB USA President, Doug Pettis.

    “Ford took a completely new approach to customer-centric design with the Bronco,” said Pettis. “Personalization and customization is in the DNA of this project. Ford went the extra mile to ensure the Bronco was built to be accessorized, modified, and personalized to suit the demands of the consumer; especially the overland traveler.”

    “ARB’s manufacturing expertise, powered by innovative engineering and design, has been the driving force behind our growth for over four decades,” said Pettis. “The unique combination of ARB’s aftermarket presence and our 35-year history working with OE’s as a tier-one manufacturer, was the primary driver of Ford’s decision to onboard ARB.”

    The full suite of Bronco accessories from ARB will be available to new Bronco customers this summer through over 1,000 Ford dealerships and authorized ARB retailers throughout North America.

    ARB is Australia’s largest manufacturer and distributor of 4×4 accessories. We also have an international presence, with an office in the US and an export network that extends through more than 80 countries around the globe. Our philosophy, however, has never wavered from its original course –quality, reliability, and practicality above all else.

  • Red Line Synthetic Oil Expands Cooling System Line with New SuperCool® Fortified with WaterWetter®

    Red Line Synthetic Oil Expands Cooling System Line with New SuperCool® Fortified with WaterWetter®

    Benicia, Calif. (October 6, 2020) – Red Line Synthetic Oil, a leader in the performance lubricant industry, today announced, SuperCool antifreeze/coolant. Designed to lower coolant temperatures by as much as 20 degrees Fahrenheit while simultaneously protecting against harmful rust and corrosion. The new SuperCool products are available for order at authorized Red Line distributors and www.redlineoil.com.

    Red Line has been helping vehicle owners and enthusiasts take care of their vehicle’s cooling systems for more than 25 years with the company’s famous additive, WaterWetter®. Originally designed for racing applications, WaterWetter was created specifically to reduce strain on the cooling system, allowing for more reliable performance. Now, that same technology is available to consumers in an easy-to-use antifreeze/coolant, designed to drastically reduce engine temperatures, providing maximum performance and increased reliability.

    “The new SuperCool line is the culmination of our 25 years of experience in cooling system additives,” said Art Kendrick, Product Expert at Red Line Synthetic Oil. “We wanted to provide our customers with an easy-to-use antifreeze/coolant product that offers the benefits of our WaterWetter additive and the advanced protection our products are known for.”

    Red Line’s SuperCool line features SuperCool Performance, a 50/50 prediluted version, and Super Cool Concentrate, for those who prefer to create their own water-to-coolant ratio. Both products are formulated for use in both modern and classic radiators and water pumps. During an independent test, Red Line’s SuperCool Performance reduced average coolant temperatures by 19.2 degrees Fahrenheit over OEM coolant under constant load.

    SuperCool also provides protection against the initial effects of corrosion and helps prevent further damage, maintaining your engine’s optimum performance over the lifetime of the vehicle. Both SuperCool formulas can be added to any brand of existing OEM antifreeze/coolant in any make or model.

    “At Red Line, we pride ourselves on creating products that vehicle owners and enthusiasts can count on to provide extremely high levels of performance and protection,” said Justin Johnson, Director of Red Line Synthetic Oil. “We took our extensive knowledge from our popular WaterWetter product line, and applied it to the next logical step, a complete coolant product. Like all of our products, our goal was to raise the bar, and we’re confident that our customers will see reduced coolant temperatures without sacrificing protection.”

    Since the beginning, Red Line Synthetic Oil has created products for racing applications with the idea that racers require the best of the best. This philosophy of creating the most advanced lubricants has become a pillar of the brand, not just within its racing line but with all of its product offerings. Red Line creates its synthetic oils and advanced additives using the world’s finest base stocks so consumers can rest assured their vehicles are receiving only the highest quality fluids.
