The Definitive Front Bumper Thread

[XJamesX]

After installing the RC front tubular bumper, I had to order the rear and I’m quite happy with both of them. I love the looks and the quality is very good too. No complaints. Oh and the LED lights (included in both) are BRIGHT!!!!

E-Bay knock-off of Rubicon Steel Bumper. All parts shown in the image (including LED fog lights) came with the bumper @ < $500. I used the LED fog lights that were installed on my original plastic bumper instead of the fog lights that came with the steel bumper.

Do the ends cone off to make it a stubby?

yes and no.
there’s an additional kit required to change to stubby and you have to call RR directly and request it. In other words you can’t just pop off the ends and go unless you pull your fogs as well and it’d look goofy

this video at 13:12 shows the stubby version.

Bought it from Extreme Terrain while it was on sale, 595.99 + 25.00 "handling charge" plus tax. Received it in 3 days. I went with this because of the weight and the bumper not having the sensor holes that the ebay bumper has.

Ralph: were you able to re-use your original Mojave skid plate?

Ralph: were you able to re-use your original Mojave skid plate?

Yes. But like all others who have used the Mopar Rubicon steel bumper or one of the knock-offs that are available on the internet, I had to trim about 1/4 of an inch off the skid plate to get it to fit properly. Some people trim the bumper a bit, others the skid plate. I just hit it with a silver self-priming spray paint where I trimmed it and it looks perfect.
