towing
Can anyone help insure that my Warn rear bumper will be able to withstand towing my 500 lb. fishing boat? I'm thinking tow bar, but it seems redundant with the bumber having a receiver...
I'm sure more than one of you have thought the same thing...so was Murphy's Law working with or without you on this!? FYI - Murphy lives vicariously through me and my recent Jeep project! I can't make it two weeks without a repair or upgrade. I may run out of money to own a Jeep and a boat! - JB |

I know that I wouldn't and haven't with many non-rated receiver bumpers. It's your comfort level. Personally, I have used my Currie non rated bumper on some pretty hard pulls and that was on rigs weighing 4000 lbs. plus. I don't think a 500 lb. boat would bother me in the slightest. If it bothers you, slap on a tow receiver and be done with it.
