Love this bumper. I did have to notch some more forward holes in the winch plate to give clearance for the wires though. Other than than there was some messing with the skid plate when mounting it but got it to work eventually.
My only complaint was that the powder coating seemed to get easily scratched.

I have been thinking about getting one of these bumpers and have a trail cam. I don’t want the bar to intervene with the camera. Can some of you guys with this bumper with a bar and a trail can post pictures of what the view is like?

Thank you guys for all your help!

I got this one. It's a rugged ridge ridge full width Spartan High clearance. I absolutely love it and love the fact that it fills in the gap between the bumper and fenders. Had mine for about 16 months now.

Did you have problems installing the OEM fog lights back on?

Will the stock LED fog lamps fit on this bumper?

I have this on my Mojave and it is holding up well. I was able to use the factory skid plate with some persuasion. Looking to get the Smittybilt XRC Gen 3 winch. It gives me a much better approach angle and comes up closer the front fender lip for a cleaner look.

Got mine mounted today with 10k stealth winch. Plan on adding 6 inch KCs to the over rider bar next week if weather cooperates. Picture is a bit washed out since it was getting dark.

Hey all, there’s been a lot of discussion about the passenger side winch plate bracket for the rugged ridge HD full width bumper, not sure if I cracked the code or messed with the physics of the engineering but the passenger side JK bracket fits perfectly on the JTR, and gives a couple inches of clearance.

I tried installing this on my JLUR, unfortunately with the 35's and no lift, it didnt make it past the test fit as it would rub at about 1/2 turn :facepalm:

I'm installing a 2.5" lift so hopefully this will solve the issue....can't wait.

This is probably one of the best looking bumpers on the market

After much research, I bought this bumper for my wife's Wrangler 2 years ago. Got the Gladiator last November, did a bunch of research all over again, and ended up with the same bumper! It's not too heave and integrates very well visually with the front end, probably Sport models better than Rubicon's.

Dang. I was wanting to put 35s on my JLUR when the other tires wore out. Does it rub because the bumper ends angle back some? I don’t suppose spacers would help either. Post some pics once you get the lift please. I may have to do the same.
