Steel bumper for Gladiator Mojave?

[GladiatorJer]

Does anyone know if there are any plans by Jeep or Mopar to come out with some sort of modification bracket to allow the Rubicon steel bumper to be mounted on the Mojave? Or better yet, are there plans to come out with a steel bumper that fits the Mojave? Thanks!

I figured out that you mean the front bumper. The steel Rubi rear bumper fits fine.

I believe some have mounted the front bumper as well with some mild finagling of the skid plate.

Several folks have installed other bumpers. You do need to figure out what to do with the shocks reservoirs if they interfere.

Thanks. I am still confused. I do plan on mounting a winch, and it seems there's this "Two missing bolt" thing I keep reading about. I need every possible bolt to connect and hold this thing in place. This is becoming quite a mystery to solve.

There is a Mopar steel front bumper for the Gladiator that is not the Gladiator Rubicon model front bumper and it’s for all Gladiator models. I am getting it for my Gladiator Sport model.

Plenty of steel aftermarket bumpers fit the Mojave and accommodate a winch.

What would that be?

Modify or, holy smokes the options. It’s really just a matter of $

I want a stock look so modify is the answer when I come to that on my list unless something changes.

I installed a factory takeoff steel bumper and black rubicon skid pate with no problems or modifications. Used new fog light brackets from maximus. Utilized stock mounting holes from my stock mojave skid plates. (There is 2 empty holes for additional bolts for additional brackets, but i opted out of those because this skid plate is sturdy and doesn't look like its going anywhere.) Obviously for non mojaves you would need to purchase brackets, bolts and hex nuts to bolt up to the underside.

Bought my Mojave used with 2k miles from a Jeep dealer in the area. The previous owner, or the dealer (perhaps both), installed a Rubicon bumper, a Warn winch, and skid on the Mojave (poorly I might add).

I subsequently pulled it off, put the orange Mojave hooks on, and re-installed (properly). The only PIA of the operation was that the hooks are held in place by little single use sheet metal stars. They look like they should spin off but they don’t. They are not necessary for the installation but they are extremely useful in holding the hook in place while you position the bumper.

The parts should be available now that the 24’s Mojave X comes with the steel
Bumper.

I saw no difference between the steel bumper I have on my Overland and the steel bumper from the factory on a 2024 Mojave X
Skid plate, perhaps, but bumper looked the same at a glance.

Agreed, should have been more clear. Updated skids should be available.

I don't know for a fact, but just out of observation for the past couple of years - the skid plate seems to be the only real thing people have had to deal with. Of course if you have the plastic bumper you have the skid plate that doesn't attach to the bumper so there's a mod there unless you swap skid plates.
Yeah, we're on the same page.
