As I see ya both are running the RR HD do you have the matching skid plate installed. If so how was the fitment.

I have the stubby HD bumper & a warn vr evo 10s being delivered tomorrow & didn't order the skid plate as there are some mixed reviews on it, but nothing specifies which bumper they had since it also fits a few other RR bumpers.
im just running my factory rubicon skid plate.

I have a Rubi take off steel plate and it fit fine. See my other post (s) for parts list.

Thank you both for the replies. I think I’ll just take the leap on the rr skid plate and see what happens. I’ll just order from amazon so the return will be easy if it’s no bueno.

Looks great! I've got mine in the garage waiting for the weekend. Any major tips that may not be mentioned in the instructions?


Rugged Ridge Venator
Pretty happy with it, basic concept is the winch cradle with a center top, center bottom, and both side clamshells. I don't have faith in the ends withstanding any kind of rocks/impacts but my JT isn't going to see much of that.

Ok now that its all on there..

Rugged Ridge HD Stubby Bumper. Also has the Rugged Ridge Skid Plate.

If done together this would be an easy install, but I did it in the hardest possible order. If your doing them all do the skidplate first. Then the bumper & when you mount the fogs in the bumper mount them upside down (so the adjustment is on top) or it wont clear the skidplate. I havent tested them yet, but I anticipate having to do lots of adjusting whenever I drive in the dark again (low priority since I dont have anywhere to go).

Smittybilt Gen 2. No winch yet, debating on either Smittybilt Winch or new Apex Badlands 12000 from Harbor Freight.

Looks good! Sorry, didn't see your post until just now. Mine went together pretty easy, though I did end up starting to cross thread one of the lower bumper cover mounts. Chased the threads with a tap and it was fine.

Just got my 2020 gladiator overland a couple days ago, and am super excited (will post pix when my lift and tires come in). Since this is a bumper thread, does anyone know if a front and/or rear bumper that sits more flush than factory? My gladiator fits into my garage by the hair of its chinny chin chin, so thought maybe I could find a bumper(s) that will cut the overall length by even a couple inches. Excited to be amongst you all!
