Our newly designed CavFab JL Predator Front Winch Bumper is constructed entirely of 3/16" American Steel!

These bumpers are CNC laser cut, press formed, and welded right here in the USA. The recessed winch design puts the winch low and out of the way, allowing maximum airflow to the radiator where other top winch mounted bumpers block much of the grill. The Predator Bumper has an optional Crash Bar Skid Plate that can be used to protect critical front end components.
  • Direct Bolt On Installation (No Drilling or Cutting Required)
  • Fits all 18-Current JL Wranglers (2 and 4 Door) & 2020 - Current JT Gladiators
  • 3/16" American Steel (CNC Laser Cut & Formed) Built here in the USA
  • Recessed Winch Mount for Optimal Air Flow and Clean Look
  • Optional Crash Bar Skid Plate (Bolt on)
  • Compatible with most offset drum Winches
  • Made in U.S.A.
Dont forget to take advantage of the 10% forum discount with code: JTFORUM

Nice looking bumper! Does it work with the Mojave skid plate and reservoir?

Thanks!

IT should, yes. The mojave skid ties into the frame horns, so there is room for that, and the resi mounts are far enough back it shouldnt have any interference with the bumper itself.

I noticed that the outside has been ground smooth. Is it welded fully on the inside? Or stitch welded at least?

Unless you're willing to accept returns with free shipping and without a restocking fee, i wouldn't find "it should" to be a comforting answer.

And hopefully in aluminum, to keep the Mojave light.
No aluminum currently.

In 3/16 steel you are looking at a 55lb bumper. The weight difference in this vs aluminum would be the difference in having a loaded cooler in the truck vs not.

I volunteer my Mojave to be test fitted. Just send me a free bumper and I’ll let you know if it fits.

Is this 55 lbs with the skid plate included and if not, what would be the full weight with the skid plate for the bumper.

Skid would add around 20 lbs. Fully outfitted (skid, hoop, etc) you are looking at 75lbs +/- a few.

So is the inside welded as well? I noticed that it's ground smooth on the outside.
Also how do the diode dynamic fog lights interface with the bumper?
