WINCH READY
The front bumper comes winch ready. It fits winches up to 24.25” L x 7.15” D x 10.52” H with a 10” x 4.5” bolt pattern. We like the Warn VR Evo 12-S or Zeon 12-S Platinum winch. Don’t forget our Winch Fairlead to go with it.
EQUIPPED FOR LIGHTING
The Sprinter Front Bumper has two cut outs for the Baja Squadron Sport LED Light Pods, and the optional Bull Bar can fit lights up to 6” in diameter. Skipping a winch? You can mount up to four more Squadron Sport lights in place of a winch.
DESIGNED TO PROTECT
Our front bumper for Mercedes Sprinter Vans provides full-width frontal coverage and fits tight to the van for a clean look. The bumper wraps around the bottom, protecting the DEF tank on diesel vans. The Skid Plate option offers protection for your engine making it especially beneficial for exploring off the beaten path.

Customer Reviews
Fits great with curves of van, great installation instructions, great looking and quality! The nudge bar, lights, and winch add the final touch. Best option I found out there.
I’ll first start by saying the bumper is well thought out, the install instructions paired with the video make it easy to DIY install. However there’s a couple things I’d change about them. I would suggest not to install the inner wheel well fender liners until after you have centered the FVCO bumper skin and replaced the factory bumper skin and secured them both. Then you’ll need to cut the fender liners to shape and install both sides the way the video recommends to install the passenger side. I’ll add that there’s a hole in the fender liners after cutting the 90° section off. I used a piece of ABS to fill that hole so there not a gaping hole in the fender liners for road debris to fly into. Another major note I will say to add another piece of ABS plastic to the back side of the ACC Radar box. This fully encloses the radar from any debris and gives better protection for the wires from winch spool.
I decided to go with the Badland Apex 12000 synthetic winch. This winch technically does not fit. The motor and gear of the winch run into the lips on the winch cradle. I used a 1/2 spacer under the winch and was able to clear the cradle. In lifting the winch it now is a tight fit to get your hand in there to manipulate the winch gear. I’ll prolly notch the bumper some day but for now I’m using a hook and it works just fine. So I guess it does fit. Another option you could cut off the little section of lip on the cradle but I decided not to.
I love the skid plate integration and overall it’s a great looking bumper. Very satisfied with the project.
Pics show camera view unobstructed, backer plate for radar, and installed fender liner with backer plate.
I have this installed and was wiring up the power and cut the cables to shorten (placing power posts in the bumper). I contacted Warn to find out the gauge wire and they said 2 AWG. I blindly ordered 2 AWG lugs only to find they were WAY too big. Upon urther investigation I determined that they power cables are actually 4 AWG. Therefore be aware if you're making a long run. I think the V drop is still OK but YMMV. Also, the wires that exit the back of the winch stick out such that it's going to be impossible to prevent them from rubbing up against the (I think) AC condenser coils. I will have to fabricate something to prevent that (chaffing of the cables eventually could be VERY bad as the hot side is a direct connect to the battery.. not fused)..
