Recommendation(s) for front bumper: it shouldn’t be this hard edition

[mfrgs12]

I also have the Venator and I like the look. It blends well with the lines on the Gladiator. I installed the fog light trim and had to modify it a bit to get them to stay on. But overall it is a nice front end. Once every thing is bolted up and torqued, it is very sturdy, and solid. installed a Rugged Ridge 12K winch on Friday and it was easy to do with out taking the whole thing apart, or off.

I'm running the Rugged ridge spartan full with bumper. You can run it with the bull bar or without. You can use the stock Rubicon steel skid plate with it. I got one but haven't installed it yet, kinda like the look without the skid honestly

Any idea if this will get in the way of the front trail Camera?

Sorry, it took longer than I expected to get it on. Then I got distracted, SQUIRREL.!

OK, this os from Redrock. I like the way it looks and steel tubes have held up well for me in the past.

It is about 4 inches from my stock tire to the edge of the bumper. I don't think that will be an issue with 3 inches of lift and 37s but could be if you run stock height and 35s.

I like it now that it's on but it was a BEAR to get on. I had a shop do it and the winch I got at the shop.

The downsides. There is almost NO room behind the winch for the cables and the winch barely fit. They powder coated EVERYTHING. By that I mean bolt threads, hols, you name it. All that had to be cleared before it would go on. For those reasons I wouldn't recommend it for a home install.

I have no idea, don't have that option on mine

Trail cam still works great. Big BIG lights might effect it. If they do, I will put them elsewherr.

Do the factory LED fog lights fit in this bumper?

Yes, factory led and the Halogens both fit. I got the factory Halogen ones installed with Led bulbs, but either one will fit

quality is great beside the fog light bezels like i said earlier. Overall very happy with it.

I used the spacers for the winch that we’re provided with the bumper, they are not needed. I’m actually going to pull them out tomorrow and that should lower the winch down and allow me to tuck the wiring down the back instead of coming out the side.

I also have that bumper, I have the moor 2 “ lift with 3/4 level kit and 35’s. I want to go w/37’s and was wondering if they will rub on backside of venator. Your pic looks like u have 37’s, appreciate ur help

My version does not have round holes for fog lamps but very happy W/ ADD front and rear bumpers. Used the factory Rubi skid with some minor mod's.

email them if one falls off and you run it over like i did. they said a fix was coming, i haven't checked on that. i used flex tape on my replacements and so far so good.

i enjoy mine, though i cross threaded a bolt and have yet to address it other than not think about it lol
