Is there a list of bumpers that fit the Mojave and keeps the factory skid plate? Also when taking off the front bumper do have unbolt the skid plate? Looks like you don’t. I’ve seen videos they have. Thank you for any information.

I mounted a Rugged Ridge Arcus yesterday. Factory skid bolted right up. Not a bit of modification needed.

Did you powder coat the bumper hooks or spray paint? Which color and do you think it matches up pretty good? My Arcus finally showed up and i definitely like the hooks orange. Thanks!

I wanted to powdercoat them but i didnt have they resources to do it myself and the local shops couldn't do it for a couple weeks and wanted charge outrageous amounts, so i just sprayed them myself. Just sanded them rough, did some primer layers and sprayed them with several layer of paint. I used two different cans of orange engine enamel and found that the "hemi orange" engine enamel matched closest to the jeep orange accents. cant remember the brand but it was available at advanced auto. i did it back in August and its held up since with no major chipping and it still looks good, like it was powdercoated.

Have you actually use them and they held up? Or are you saying just sitting on the front of the truck they still look fine?

I’d like to redo mine in orange as well, but since I’ll be using it Offroad often and probably tossing a revovery strap around them I want the finish to hold up.

I have the Motobilt Hammered bumper which you can retain the factory front skid if you'd like.

Unbolting the skid makes it easier to access things such as rerouting the fog light wiring. It's only 4 bolts.

I’ve gotten the diff to lock in 4h on occasion, not sure why but sometimes it doesn’t work… maybe because TC was recently activated?

A quick question for Mojave owners. Have any of you gone from a Rubicon to a Mojave and if so do you prefer one over the other? Any regrets over making the switch?

My dealer called me yesterday and asked me to come by because there US broker wants to look at buying my truck. Because of supply and demand and the exchange rate between the US and Canada I can probably get close to breaking even on a new Gladiator.

I like my Arcus bumper but had I known this was out there I would have 100% got this one. It looks great but moreover it looks like it’s tough and functional.
