The Definitive Front Bumper Thread

[Free2roam]

Another Rugged Ridge HD with a Warn Evo checking in.

I also have their skid plate installed as well. Minor trimming was required to clear the fog lights.

By far my favorite bumper for the JL/JT.

As said already, the winch is a really tight fit.

Any idea the weight on that?

I have the same bumper. The Rugged Ridge HD Full width bumper weighs roughly 60lbs. Overrider bar or X-Striker will add some weight to that. No clue on the winch as I’m running something different.

Is that a Sport S? Love the way it lines up with the fenders. Plus lightweight and I can add my winch to it and still maintain factory height. Winch is only 59lbs. Warn Evo 10S

Yes it is.

For me, the Rugged Ridge Arcus bumper was the best bang of your buck stubby option. It’s not heavy, build quality is good, easy to install, clean looking. I’ve got two auxbeam 7” lights, mounted on a fairlead light mount. The winch is nothing to write home about. It’s an X-Bull winch. Does the job, but isn’t very cool. I’ve used the winch once to recover somebody. Worked great.

How is the front trail cam view with those lights there?

Motobilt Hammer. I painted it with Krylon Fusion.

Yup bumper is around 60. Winch is low 60s. Skid is maybe 20 or less.

Spartacus Rugged Ridge stubby. About 32 lbs.

Does it block your trail cam view?

E-Bay knock-off of Rubicon Steel Bumper. All parts shown in the image (including LED fog lights) came with the bumper @ < $500. I used the LED fog lights that were installed on my original plastic bumper instead of the fog lights that came with the steel bumper.

How has this number been working out? Any issues after running it for a while?

Finally finished this install… new Mopar steel bumper, skid plate, artec winch plate, maximus-3 hoop, maximus filler plates & WARN zeon 10s platinum.

I need the Maximus filler plates. My install looks a little incomplete without them.

Love my Rugged Ridge Arcus bumper! Hardest part of the install is getting the fog lights out of the oem bumper.

Does the bar interfere with the trail cam view?

Hardly. Not enough to really notice. Want me to try and take a picture?
