The winch platform will allow the mounting of most traditional low mount style winches and narrow mount pattern competition type winches. A bracket is provided for those who wish to run their control box in the center of the bar.
Two front 'flip up' style license plate mounts are provided. One to suit roller fairleads and one for the Hawse type fairlead. These allow the number plate to be located over the fairlead and flipped up out of the way when the winch is in use.
Front Profile:
At only 1127mm (44.37") wide, the Stubby Bar is no wider than the JK's grille panel. Frontal protection to vital engine components is achieved while allowing the fitment of larger diameter tires without interfering with the wider wing sections found on traditional ARB deluxe bars.
Rear Profile:
The Stubby bar includes a solid mounting platform for mid framed low mount winch models & narrow drum competition winches including: WARN's Zeon range, XD9000, XP9500 & XDC9500 Quadratec Q-Series Smittybilt X20 Series.
Wing sections include additional 4mm reinforcement braces for added strength.
Side Profile:
The Stubby bar projects a mere 123mm (4.842") forward of the chassis (chassis mount to leading edge of recovery point) offering optimum approach angles.
Recovery Points:
Manufactured from 20mm (0.787 inch) 350 grade steel, the recovery points pass through the front face of the bar, attaching to the chassis mount for increased structural integrity.
High Lift Jacking Points:
Both wing sections include reinforced cutouts providing suitable jacking points for Hi-Lift ® and similar style jacks. The High Lift jacking points are reinforced with 3mm steel plate to prevent distortion or damage. When the jack leg is inserted into the point, the lip of the jack foot locates past the internal reinforcing plate to prevent slippage. The angled wing profile allows the jack handle to raise and lower without fear of contact with the vehicle body.
Light Bar Mount:
The 76mm main tube features a 3mm laser cut mounting bracket designed to accept LED light bar "U" Cradle mounts and communications antennas.
Light Mounts:
Bolt on pedestal type mounts are provided for fitment of a large range of traditional style driving lights including IPF and the just released ARB Intensity LED driving lights.

ARB Front Stubby Winch Bumper in Textured Black Reviews
Already have to full length one but need stubby cause of bigger tires
Just installed so can't speak to long term use, but overall this bumper seems extremely well built (as expected from ARB). The lines are very clean looking- aggressive enough without too much 'look at me!'. Installation was pretty reasonable, although removing the stock bumper was the worst part due to frozen/rusted bolts. (I ended up having a local shop torque them off.)
The only complaint would be that the instructions are quite terrible, this made worse by the fact that 1//2 of my instructions had some printer glitch obscuring all the text and half the photos. I found an alternate set of instructions on another retailers site which helped.
My install notes would suggest that some of the order of events should be changed. I would, for example, suggest installing the light brackets while the bumper is off for better access. Same for fairlead if you are going that way- much harder afterwards.
Overall I am very happy with this upgrade and would recommend it. If I could have kept the factory fogs, maybe more perfect but since I couldn't I went with PIAA fogs and driving lights. So, now even better!
The quality and fitment are excellent. However, the instructions are absolute garbage. I can’t believe that such a prominent off-road manufacturing company is incapable of drafting better instructions. I had to figure out the vacuum pump relocation bracket on my own. It also says to cut something else but I couldn’t figure that out nor had to do any cutting for the bumper to fit. Also not sure why the instructions had one install the bolts inverted on the vacuum pump and cut off the stock nuts. I didn’t have to. They could have welded bolts on the inside of the bumper for easier installation. Getting the nuts in the holes from the sides is a bit of a challenge.
Overall, the end product is awesome but getting there is some work.
