The Definitive Front Bumper Thread

[Swans_Warchief]

DV8 FBSHTB-17 with Apex Badland 12k winch. I did use the adapter brackets from DV8 for a JK to JL bumper install.

Also, the OEM fog light brackets work perfectly with this bumper. I had Halogen from the factory but replaced with aftermarket LEDs when I bought the Jeep. So halogen fog lights on a JL seem to share the mounting pattern with the JK. I posted a pic of them installed before mounting the bumper.

This looks pretty good - where did you order this from and did it come with the top row LED's? I see it on a couple sites for $320-$360 which is a great price but just not sure it will fit my 2022 Gladiator Mojave - it doesn't mention my truck's fitment on the JEG's site.

It will fit. Front bumper is the same. If you don’t use brackets you have to oval out a couple holes on the bumper.

I had to purchase the lights separately

Yes on the brackets. I don’t remember if it was the DV8 light bar. I will have to check later when I get home

It is the DV8 light bar. Not sure what the complaints are but it has worked well for me.

Rough Country, had it on my JLURD with the RC skidplate. When the wife took over the Wrangler I put it on my Gladiator JTRD with the stock metal skidplate.

This is model 10585 correct? I have a Mojave but it says specifically that it will NOT fit/work with a Mojave. Not sure why - looks great btw.

Yes that is the model number.
My guess is it has to do with the remote shock reservoirs. Or maybe their skid plate. I used the factory steel skid on my Gladiator.

Nice - any idea how much your front end dropped after adding that bumper /winch combo? I have the same bumper but without the winch right now. I was debating adding the winch.

 

[JTGuy]

I have the Mopar 2 inch lift so it really didn't drop at all with just the weight of the winch as the all bumper weight is the same or less than the plastic one with all the re enforcement stuff. The winch weight total is about 75 pounds. Glad I went with aluminum.

Looks like rugged ridge arcus. Popular bumper on here, have it myself. Watch out for bad finish and rust on the hooks and hardware.
