2022-2025 Subaru Outback Wilderness Bumper Bar 2.0

I was looking for a way to mount aux lights on the front of my OBW. I did not want to sacrifice approach angle or clearance, so some sort of rally bar that mounted underneath was out of the question. Google led me to this product (after who knows how many other rabbit holes!). I got the full bumper with side wings.

Install was very easy. It bolts into the tow points behind the copper-colored covers on the bumper with a big beefy bolt. The hardest part of the install is bolting on the "wings". A socket "wobble joint" (kind of like a universal joint) is necessary, as there's no way to get a wrench directly on the bolts or nuts.

Trimming the tow point covers to fit around the brackets is easy with a razor blade knife.

I think the whole install took me about an hour or so, and I wasn't hurrying. Now to figure out what lights to install. I'm leaning toward a 30" light bar, but need to measure for correct fit.

Excellent quality looks great but a little expensive. Partly due to Canada customs.

The Bumper Bar was nicely packed and shipped out quickly. Once the Bumper Bar was unpacked, I found it to be well constructed with professional welds. No complaints about the powder coating, coverage was even and well coated.
Installation was vary simple. I dry fitted the lights and Bumper Bar first, just to be sure everything lines up and clearance of the lights. Had to differentiate from the directions just a little, but otherwise no issues. Great fit and finish.

Installed on a 2022 Subaru OB wilderness. Very easy install once you watch the video. Looks great and is solid as steel! Hit a deer with our last Subaru Outback and the damage to the front could have been minimized with this bumper. It will protect the potential crumpling of the front end into the engine compartment. Only wish ADF had some higher extensions for the grill to attach through the light attachment points. D ring mounts are a nice touch as well for that emergency recovery capability.

I really wanted to find a bar that keeps access to the stock recovery point and protect the front bumper. ADF checked all the boxes for me. Mounts directly behind the copper access in the recovery and the bar has solid eye ring below to use a D-Ring or a soft shackle. The optional wings curves nicely to follow the bumper curve. Love them. Installation was a breeze and perfect fit. They have a nice powder coat finish but I added 2 coats of paint to better resist rust due to our Canadian harsh winter and salt on road, and will spray rust proof on bolts and hardware. Now I Wish ADF had an equivalent rear bar.
