Great looking bumper but careful with your winch selection
Dozer 4 years ago
I've been eyeing this bumper since they unveiled it at SEMA and was waiting last year to purchase it for our 2019 JLUR. We ended up going a different direction so we could get our winch mounted. Currently building a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon and chose this bumper for its looks, and lighter weight since its a stamped design. Love the looks of it! Being a fan of the factory steel Mopar bumpers, this one looks just as good if not better. Install was pretty simple but the directions can be a little confusing in a few areas. Here are a few things I took away from it. 1. You do NOT need any other part number for mounting the stock Rubicon LED foglights! They four mounting holes line up perfectly. 2. Be careful with your winch selection. I have a Warn Zeon 10-S that BARELY fits. Its so snug that the brackets with the welded nuts for the inside bolts on the frame wouldnt clear the winch in the orientation they are supposed to go. We had to flip them in order to get it to mount. 3. I still have a concern with the winch plate. The center portion thats cutout right in front of the drum still seems a bit high to me and Im concerned it might rub the synthetic line as it spools from the bottom of the drum. I need to find a way to test this without ruining my line. Outside of that, I love it and would definitely recommend it.
