When I asked quadratec about the plastic bumper, that’s all I have a plastic air them instead of the steel skid plate

They don’t know what they’re talking about.

My JTRD came with the plastic bumper and steel skidplate. I reused the stock skidplate when I installed a Rough Country bumper and winch.
Liked the size and fitment of the oem unit better. The Rough Country skid was too bulky for my use, in my opinion.

Thanks, I'm leaning towards rugged ridge full hd or the one you have!

I just installed the Rugged Ridge HD full width bumper on my Mojave with the X-Striker. It looks and fits great!

What I really want is something like the old Power Wagon that works with factory fogs and has Dring shackle mounts.

Looks great... where do I find this bumper with the bar? What do they have for skid plates? Or does the stock one still fit?

Thanks!

I purchased on line through Extremeterrain.com

I am planning to reinstall my factory Mojave skid plate. From what I’ve read it should fit with the bumper.

Great! Thank you. Can you post a picture when you get it back on?

Thanks!

How much did the front end come down with the weight of the bumper and winch?

Hopefully, I'll finish the project this weekend and post a picture.

I did not measure. The Rugged Ridge HD Bumper was lighter than the Mopar Steel Bumper I removed but the weight of the winch ate up any weight savings between the two bumpers. I have not noticed any sag. I will eventually install the AEV 2" Spacer kit on my Mojave along with 35" tires.

Nice. Do factory and or aftermarket compatible upgraded FOG fit without customization? I have DD ss3's currently.

Yes aftermarket fog lights do work. I have the KC flex ERA lights in the bumper. Don’t know if factory fogs will work. Baja Designs makes a set that bolt in also. There a flat spot in the bumper to bolt the lights on

Thanks - I like the fact it works with the Mojave skid plate. Its a bit heavy at 110 lbs. Did you need use a leveling kit or? if So what are the details?

I’ve got a 3.5” lift kit on my truck, no leveling kit
