MOPAR steel bumper "winch guard" questions

[John in the Woods]

All I find online are the triple - no part number on the single............. I must be typing something wrong.

Im betting you can find a better price, but that’s the one on my truck.

I am in CA and/or AZ most of the time so rust is pretty much never an issue. If I lived somewhere where roads were salted for months out of the year it could be an issue as I'm sure it's not the highest quality finish at that price. The holes lined up and it bolted up fine and even with the weight of the hilift on top it hasn't loosened or moved 1 bit so for me it's doing what I need.

Finish in an inexpensive item isn't a big deal - even with refinishing it would still be sub-$100 (less if it would fit into my oven!)

The bar from my Chinese bumper didn't line up well on my MOPAR bumper, the holes were a bit off, but fit the Chinese bumper just fine. So my bigger concern is how well it fits the MOPAR bumper, and you answered that. Fits fine.

I just put a Rocktrix bar on my chinese bumper, really nice ! Nicer than the bumper. It was $100

Looks like it still is.

That stands wider than the MOPAR one, which can interfere with the clutch lever on the big APEX winches. I had to cut some of my lever off when I had the knockoff bumper with the bar it came with.

It is much wider, lots of room for my Ramsey winch. Easy to get big hands around the lever.

I have the triple hoop. I like the added protection around the recovery points.

I have the exact same hoop, though not from mopar. I got it from rubi trux. i got lucky and scored a sale. BUMPER HOOP LINK

I would likely leave bumper ends on - little reason to remove them where I go. Good looking piece but MOPAR $$. It's a clean looking bar for sure.

499 or less if on sale for the hoop at rubitrux

I got the single Mopar bar. I like it and plan to eventually mount a couple of lights. However, I think if I had it to do over with, I’d’ve gotten the triple bar. I like the way it looks. But I don’t like it enough to switch it out

I wouldn't trust that Chinese recovery hooks. Would the stock factory one fits?

Yeah, when I had the Chinese copy on my Overland, I used the original Overland hooks on it. Works fine, since they are basically copies of all of the parts (just not as well done)

I dont see why not, they look almost identical, hell they might of come out of the same factory.

This is the grill guard I have on my Gladiator from Warn:

Looks is deceiving with whether if it's casted or forged metals.

I went with a cheap one from Amazon. While I liked the Mopar ones, and maybe get one someday at the time the price put me off. This one though actually was finished great and has really held up well. I touched one spot on the welds but other than that has been fine.

Listing?

Looks like the one I bought is no longer available. I paid $33 for it. But there are a few on amazon still for $50-$60.
