I just got my Jeep Gladiator a couple of months ago. I am looking at getting a winch but it seems like it might be easier/better to get a new bumper. What do you think of Deegan 38 Front Bumper w/ KC LED Fog Lights? How much do you think it will affect the trailcam? I am new to Jeeping and appreciate any advice. Here is the link to to bumper I'm looking at:

Thanks
I considered getting it for my '19 JLU back when it was on sale for the Independence Day sale. I watched the install video for it on Extreme Terrain, I don't think they have it for the JT but it's the same thing pretty much. I wanted something full width so ended up getting a Red Rock bumper instead. But the Deegan is a good deal for $419 and has the KC leds. Of course the Wrangler JL/JLU bumpers match up to the JT which is what I did when I got my JT and put the Red Rock bumper on it with no problems. The Red Rock bumper I got was actually for the JK/JKU but fit on the JL/JLU. Some JK/JKU bumpers have fitment problems on the JT.

The link you provided shows that it does fit the JT. I'm just saying that it probably also fits the 18-20 Wrangler too. When I got the Red Rock bumper I specifically ordered the JL/JLU version but when I got the receipt it had the model number for the JK/JKU version. And I contacted ET and they said that the JK/JKU version fit the JL/JLU version. This is the Red Rock bumper I got https://www.extremeterrain.com/redr...per-w-led-fog-lights-winch-mount-2018-jl.html which was on sale for $441 last July, now it's $569. I decided to use the fog lights that came with mine and they wouldn't fit properly so I drilled holes in the cups then zip tied them in and also used duct tape. It wasn't until I was driving at night that I noticed the fog lights were pointing up and lighting up the leaves on lower branches of trees lol. So I took the bumper off and drilled other holes in the sides of the cups and now they shine straight out. I saw that ET has bumpers that are missing hardware for less money. I was going to get a winch but didn't want to add more weight to the front and lose MPG. So now I'm thinking of getting one without the winch mount. So I bought one like I had on my '15 JK from ebay for $221 and it has the winch mounts on top instead of inside and the holes wouldn't match up. They're just a wee bit off. So that bumper is sitting in the garage and a friend is supposed to buy it for his JK. I was looking at this one from ET which is like the one I got from ebay https://www.extremeterrain.com/redr...r-avenger-full-width-front-bumper-jg1304.html new is $729 but they have one 'open box' for $255. But I don't know, maybe I will keep the one I have and get a winch :like: I have something covering up the cavity right now.
