What's the weight on the one-piece bumper?

 

[Jeepbreath]

I think around 50 lbs

 

[ShadowsPapa]

definitely not OE, I’d send that one back and get OE

Now what the heck do you think you are talking about??

It sure as hell is OE - it's a MOPAR off-road bumper and here's the MOPAR genuine part number -
82215691AD
It's a REAL MOPAR part, sold through dealers with a MOPAR part number. Take that number to your local dealership and ask them to look it up.

Ya might bother to look..........

On the other hand - send it back? HAHA -FB marketplace, unlikely the seller would take it back.

Dry fit your LED fogs in the cutouts. The two mounting holes might just line up.

The other side of that coin, you may have to trim the mounting brackets for the lights to fit into the contours of the bumper.

There are some aftermarket front bumpers that require the brackets to be trimmed to fit flush and flat.

obviously you don’t know the meaning of OE, it’s original equipment which means what originally came on it from the factory and this did not.

I have that bumper on my JTR. Ordered it separately when I picked up my truck. I asked for the metal factory bumper not realizing they offered 2 different versions.

Any ways, it is a very heavy duty bumper. I was able to re-use the factory LED fogs with an adapter I bought from Amazon. Worked perfect. Fog lights have been rock solid with the adapter, zero shake. I did need to modify the bracket a smige, enlarge a hole I think.Moved the red hooks to the new bumper. The rubber/plastic bumps have helped protect it a few times. Plate holder is from Quadratec too.

I also have the winch protector hoop on mine, factory short one. I have the HF Badlands 12K winch, cheap, reliable and for the amount of times I will use it made more sense then the Warn. $425.00 out the door. Winch plate is from Quadratec.

Thank you so much for your help. If I keep this bumper I don’t plan on putting a winch on right away, is there a cover for that?. Also you don’t happen to have a order number for the hoop do you?. Biggest question, can I use my rubican skid plate with this?. Thank you again for your help

Should be able to use the rubicon skid plate with no problems.

You have the same one I have. Add a winch, a skid plate and some lights and go for it.

It is not the same...this is the steel 3 piece the one he got is the Mopar Mid width that can not add the end to make it a full width...Note the fog light holes.

 

[Sallaman]

That's an adapter to fit Oracles to the factory steel bumper. OP doesn't have the factory steel bumper. He has the MOPAR offroad bumper. It's different. Factory LEDs don't fit....which they do on the factory steel bumper. Therefore Oracle adapters to fit their lights to the factory steel bumper won't work. I give up.

It looks like it does use the same fog lights as the factory steel bumper so the adapter brackets should work

It doesn't though. It uses the fog lights that the base Sport bumper uses.
