Front Bumper Help

SoInGladiator · Dec 11, 2019

Hey there, I am wanting to upgrade my front bumper to either a mid width or stubby. I have been out of the Jeep game for a very long time and don’t know who all the reputable makers are now days. I don’t plan on doing any rock crawling or serious off-raiding. Some overlanding will be about my extinct of off-roading. I’m really liking the rugged ridge Arcus bumper, and also like the quadratec QRC bumper. Thanks for any and all advice.

I have a QRC full-width front bumper on my JK. It was easy to install and it's solid. When I get a JT, I'll probably go with the mid/stubby version of the QRC as well.

I went with the Arcus b/c it uses the factory fog lights. No need to cut and splice in new lights. It does look silly without a winch though since there is no block off plate.

I don't think the manufactures of quality bumpers have changed that much.. Biggest thing to look at is the finish of the part. I still won't buy smitty or Rampage as they have always been suspect (Salt, rust etc)
With that said - I am still looking for the right bumper for my JT - so good hunting

The rugged ridge Spartacus front bumper is a solid bumper. We just installed one on a clients vehicle and it looks amazing.It has that stock kinda feel to it, not the cold hard feeling some of these after market bumpers do.
