HD Front Bumper

Well, first off wish I could add photos. I really like the bumper. I would buy it again and recommend it to friends. The 1 issue was the winch plate support bracket on passenger side aligned affair that rubber bushing. Seemed like there needed additional bends in bracket to connect to winch plate. Luckily I realized the gap was about 3/16. I also ...Read MoreRead more about Well, first off wish I could add

noticed that I had "extra" bracket for a JK install. Those brackets not needed for JL were exactly correct thickness to make a spacer by cutting piece off. Again wish I could add photos. But... Rugged Ridge should know that there is a problem and supply a spacer or remanufacture that passenger winch plate support arm bracket. Luckily the bolts supplied were barely long enough with spacer added in. So I used extra loctite. 👍So other than that issue. I like the bumper. Hope that helps someone that experiences same as I did. 👍 Read LessRead less about Well, first off wish I could add

I had a factory plastic bumper on the 2020 Gladiator Mojave. I had previously installed a Winch plate, on top of the factory bumper which, though it worked, hid the trail from view of the front camera, and had the winch mounted way to high. I did my research, and bought the HD Full Width RR Bumper. The install was work, but simple enough technical...Read MoreRead more about I had a factory plastic bumper on the

ly. I was able to place the bumper into the frame holes easily with my wife steadying the left side while I inserted the bolts that are in the bumper from the right side. I secure looseley with one bolt per pair, then took the wifes side and did the same. It didn't take 4-5 minutes to get the bumper into the frame slots, and let he go back inside. That was the only assistance I needed during this isntall. I was careful to check out the factory wiring harness before tightening all the bolts and realized I would have to reroute the harness to the inside of the frame rail. I removed the wire ties, moved the cable connector closer to the wiring harness, tightend the bumper down, figure eighted the extra cable, and wiretied it into place. This is the third time I've put bumpers on Jeeps. This was the best install of the all. My first one was a pure nightmare, this one, was a well engineered process. I am now looking for a skid plate to replace the beautiful, and bullet proof factory skidplate that comes on the Mojave. Read LessRead less about I had a factory plastic bumper on the

Great bumper however, the Quality Control department at Rugged Ridge must have been out to lunch. The passenger side winch plate bracket is unable to be installed per the directions because it hits the rubber bushing for the Rubicon electronic sway bar disconnect. They must have only tested this on non-Rubicon models. Overall disappointed that thi...Read MoreRead more about Great bumper however, the Quality

s wasn’t taken into account by rugged ridge. If they would have just mirrored the drivers side bracket it would be perfect. There is a guy on YouTube trying to install this with the same issue and it seems Hachum’s review has the same issue. Read LessRead less about Great bumper however, the Quality

I put the stubby bumper on a 2020 Willys JL. Disassembly of the plastic bumper was easy, but the lights and wiring harness was stupid. Complete dismantle of the bumper is time consuming. Had to cut wiring harness clips from frame to relocate it - be sure to plug in the lights BEFORE securing the bumper!! (Youre welcome haha)

inch fit perfect... but the hole did not line up with the fairlead. The edge of the bumper was higher than the bottom roller (flipped fairlead upside down, then top edge was the issue). Had to grind down the bottom edge so the cable wasnt scraping against the bumper.

Oh ya... nice to have slots for a highlift... but who ever thought that putting them directly under the hooks was out to lunch! A highlift cant reach the holes properly... theyre a cosmetic feature. Read LessRead less about I put the stubby bumper on a 2020
