Until now, owners have been limited to front-mounted winch bumpers or bulky hitch-mounted setups using hitch receivers.
Beatty Metal Works changed the game with a purpose-built rear recovery solution that combines strength, high clearance, and integrated winch capability in a low-profile package.
We have never seen an offering like this for the 5G market.

Why a Rear Winch?
Rear-mounted winches are nice to have in recovery scenarios, especially when traveling solo or navigating snow, mud, and high-center situations.
Unlike hitch-mounted systems, this bumper keeps the winch tucked inside the frame, increasing departure angle and keeping access to the cargo area free.
Benefits of a rear winch
- Reverse out of snowdrifts or mudholes without relying on forward anchor points
- Safely recover vehicles behind you
- Add redundancy to your recovery system when trails get technical

- Designed for 2010–2025 Toyota 4Runner (5th Gen)
