Show Us Your Bumpers!

[NotmyJt]

Rugged Ridge Arcus. Allowed me to retain stock steel skid that came with the Rubicon plastic bumper.

This is probably my favorite bumper that I’ve seen other than the steel rubicon bumper. Do you pull your gladiator behind an RV?

Yes I do.

Just installed the Rugged Ridge Spartan Standard End last week, first step in making the Gladiator ready to tow behind the motorhome.

Next up on the to-do list is a bumper and winch -- and looking for some advice and suggestions....

Going with a WARN VR EVO 10-S as the winch.

Really like the ADD series -- stealth especially. There are a lot of hidden costs associated with that mod if you want to dress it out.

Was looking at the Warn Elite Full Width as an alternative:

Thoughts? Objections? Prayers?

Just installed Rusty’s front and rear bumpers and Rusty’s front skid plate (not shown in this photo).

I’m running BFG 285/70R17 on factory (but powder coated) wheels.

Suspension is stock.

Front dropped 3/4” (no winch installed...yet) and the rear dropped 1/2” from the weight.

I have the Max Tow pkg.

rear bumper is a three-piece design that wraps around and is supported to the frame rails.I’ve only found four options so far that provide wrap-around support tied into the frame.

installation was tough. Product is stout but the instructions are missing quite a few details. I spent about an hour on the phone with a Rusty’s rep to help the next guy avoid my trials and tribulations.

Looks great! I like the protection comping up to the wheel wells... but it is unfortunate that their brand is named "Rusty's" - they make steel bumpers!

MORE PLEASE. Is this the classic? Or the Bondi? I think the classic right?

a Rusty’s

I think I’m down to Rusty’s or this one from LOD

DV8 Rubicon Steel Replica, I chose this because it was cheaper than a used rubicon bumper and comes with the winch plate.

 

[Jsmalls273]

Keep this one going!!! I’m trying to decide which one I want for my JT!

This looks AMAZING!!! What are your thoughts overall? Factory LED fog compatible?

i have more picks on my Build thread

I thought it might be good to collect everyone’s bumper setups in one thread. (I searched but didn’t find one) So show us your bumpers/winches/lights and let us know what you like/don’t like about them. Thanks!

Quadratec QRC with badlands winch. I really liked the simple design and the size.
