ARB Bondi Deluxe Front Bumper w/ Bar
JL/JT Rubicon
Features & Product Details
With the release of the new Jeep Wrangler JL, the engineers at ARB were excited to have the opportunity to develop a new style bumper which emanates ARBs heritage and pulls inspiration from the popular classic ARB Wrangler TJ Bumper.
Ruggedness is ensured by the new single-piece, press-formed center pan perfectly complemented by a bash plate along the base and a low-slung forward-facing 3-inch main hoop. The new Bondi Deluxe Winch Bumper is recovery ready with two highly visible red chassis mounted, rated recovery points and centrally located recovery jacking points. An integrated winch cradle can be separated from the bumper for an easier installation, and the bumper comes with mounts for various styles of driving lights or antennas. Press-formed apertures in the outer wings provide fog light surrounds suitable for retention of the OE fog lights.
The Bondi Deluxe Winch Bumper is pretreated with a zinc shield for superior resistance to corrosion, and is finished with an ultra-low sheen, matte Integrit finish. To complete the look, the bash plate under panel is powder coated in silver offering an appealing contrast to the black bumper.

If you go to oversized tires you will likely rub during suspension articulation. Not unique to this bumper. Otherwise it has great finish quality, strong recovery points, compliments the factory lines, has a platform to mount additional lights, INCLUDES a winch mounting plate, INCLUDES flip up license plate holder. Does NOT accept factory LED fog lights which have a different mounting pattern than the halogen. It is heavy, get a friend and balance it on a floor jack while you bolt it on.

I really love this bumper. Everything fit well and the install was straight forward. I also like the option of not installing the winch plate if you don't plan on having a winch right away to save on weight. ARB did fail to include some of the M6 cage nuts but I called ARB and they are sending them to me.

Love this bumper, I installed it on my 2022 Rubicon XR and I am here to tell you the stock 35's rub at full flex so unless I modify the bumper I will not be able to run 37's :(

The bumper itself is very well built and substantial. The winch cradle, recovery hooks, etc. all inspire confidence that they'll stand up to real abuse. I love the design. It tucks up nicely against the Rubicon fender flares and offers fully protection for your winch. And it looks great. However, to echo the other review, the instructions suck. Mine was also missing some of the cage nuts. And there are two bolts that attach to the frame horns that are hard to reach, you'll want a 1/2" drive wrench and some extensions/swivels to reach these. Overall I am happy. The installation was a pain but the final product is extremely well made and serves its purpose.

First of all, this is a great bumper. Excellent material, very strong, heavy-duty beast of a front bumper. No issues on that end, ARB quality work. Installation docs contain pictures meant to be viewed with a microscope in black and white. Missing several of the M6 cage nuts in the package. Basically, you have to figure out what goes where on your own. Most of it makes perfect sense, but you will spend some time determining what bolt is used for what application. ARB has NO videos on install, docs are not available on their site either. Took me about 10 hours, but to be fair I also installed a winch at the same time.
