2021Mojave Steel Bumper

[iceman47]

I currently have a 2021 Mojave with a plastic bumper. Can you tell me if a Gladiator steel bumper fits directly on the vehicle with no mods ? Thanks in advance.

The bumper I believe will go on no problem. The skid plate on the other hand will be an issue.

Just wait a while, until the Mojave X models hit the rental fleets.

Top level - @ALT2870 is correct.

Here are the options that I know about for a Mopar steel bumper look.

For the mopar bumper, you can either trim the bumper or the mojave skid ... or you can replace the mojave skid with a rubi skid (from other reports, it sounds like the mojave x uses a rubi skid ... I have not verified this). I decided to trim the mojave skid ...

Note: the ebay knock-off bumper is reportedly easier to mount but comes with a worse finish (you can always powder coat it) and has the holes for front park sense ... but it is significantly cheaper (or at least used to be) ... final option is the aluminum knock-off of the Mopar bumper by MP Concepts ... I have not looked into whether this has interference with the skid too, but I would assume so (lighter which is better for mojave suspension if you are also adding a winch but I doubt that either of the knock-offs are crash tested)

Good luck!

Unless you have a reason for wanting steel, I'd look at aluminum so you're not hitting your bumps tops all the time. Rock Hard mid-width aluminum only weighs 34lbs and includes a better skid plate for your remote shock reservoirs #rockhard4x4

It will work as others said. To avoid any modifications just get the steel bumper skid plate with it. Unless you like the silver painted skid, then modifications are needed.

I did the same as KevinC, Rubicon steel front bumper and Rubicon steel skid plate. Works perfectly.

Note: Make sure you get the steel skid plate for the steel bumper. Apparently they make a Rubicon steel skid plate for a plastic bumper - basically a Mojave Skid plate but black instead of silver...
