Will the Rubicon skid plate that came with the plastic bumper work with this bumper?

Yes you will just need to fully remove it for the install then reattach it after

X2...no problems here.

Looking for the lightest, toughest winch bumper that keeps the winch below the grill. Between these 3... With the diesel engine and a 70-80lb winch, i'm really trying to keep bumper weight down.
Leaning toward the RR HD for the bars, thicker steel and ability to mound shackles and highlift points.

What are your thoughts?

What about the rock hard aluminum mid width for weight savings?

Thanks but not crazy about the design and it’s pretty expensive. But it is light AF.

Can someone with the Arcus bumper measure from their grill to the farthest point out on their bumper? The stock bumper is about 11” from the grill to the farthest point out, I’m trying to shave a few inches off the length of my Gladiator so it will fit in my garage with my cabinets and bench.

It's right at 12" from the grill to tip of the tow hook.

I should add, someone else on here mounted the Arcus without the tow hooks and used some shackle mounts instead. I think it looks better that way (even closer to OEM) and it should save more space.

Thanks!
I was about to say wow those hooks are beefy! I was thinking maybe a standard style D ring mount might work and save some length.

@TallGuy is who did it. Not sure which ones he used.

That is a good idea and would seriously reduce the weight of this thing. I mean they look cool, but a shackle mount would make so much more sense.

Will the Warn Evo 12 S fit in the Arcus?

Will the Warn Evo 12 S fit in the Arcus?

I believe so, according to their product description it is compatible with winches up to 12,500lbs. I added the Warn Evo 10 S with no problem. Not sure of the size difference wih the 12 S.

Im running the Arcus with the over rider bar and the X2O 10k winch, except I have the synthetic line. It’s a great looking combination on these Gladiators!
