The Definitive Front Bumper Thread

[545moose]

Not a great pic but here is my ARB Bondi Deluxe in the wild. No glamor shots... I should take a couple better ones... sorry

Nice sliders, which ones are they? How are they holding up?

Waiting on Arb to pull the trigger on a deluxe front bumper. That said with my 10k winch on backorder from Warn. I started to wonder if the Zeon 12-s would fit it? Thanks.

I would love to see this too. I am about ready to buy a bumper and winch for my Mojave.

Just finished my Rugged Ridge HD Full Width Front Bumper (Steel with winch plate included) with RR HD Over-Rider Bar and Warn 12s winch on 2022 Mojave. Everything fit without modification, Warn Winch, Factory Mojave Skid Plate, Factory LED fogs. I did have to lengthen the Factory LED Fog light's wire harness.

For those still deciding on what they want, why I chose this setup: 1)Full width protection, 2)Recessed winch space w/ winch plate included, 3)1/2 the cost of Aluminum variants or OEM Steel version, 4)Mojave shocks reservoirs still protected by OEM steel skid plate, 5)OEM LED fogs fit and not positioned in front of tires' mud & rock projectiles fling zone, 6)Only 1/4" change in front end height position w/ the less than 100lb net change in weight with new setup w/ winch vs OEM plastic w/o winch.
Thanks darksidedesign, The White Rabbit, and Scruf
for your guidance!

I will go with a Rock Hard full width aluminum winch ready. Where can I find one.

That is one pricy piece of aluminum. I had rampage Recovery bumpers F & R on my JK and they were heavy boogers. I like the total front protection look.

does anyone know if the front hooks of the rugged ridge bumper would work with the mopar 3 piece if the plastic caps (i think theyre plastic) were cut?

quote for reference to the hooks in the pic

i am also curious if anyone has seen both the mopar and warn bumpers in person and could comment on them. I like the warn bumper significantly better but i think the oem style coating of the mopar bumper is better for longevity.

Let me know if this helps, or if you need other angles. I don’t have a Mohave, so don’t know where the shock res goes.

i just read the install instructions for the warn bumper and it says to trim the frame a half inch or so on both sides for the zeon series winches. Did you experience this?? I thought the zeons had just enough room to fit.

I read the same thing when I installed mine. I used the Warn EVO 12-S, not the Zeon. I don’t see the cost justification to double the winch price. I’ve used mine a ton and have zero issues. No trimming necessary. Like a glove.

Hi - sorry - have been offline for a bit. The sliders are rockhard 4x4 angled down versions. I had them bedlined with line-X. They are awesome and I would get the same again.

FabFours stubby, need to add the Terraflex level kit next.

It doesn't work unless you post pictures of bumpers...

Not my truck. Manufacturers picture. I’m waiting for shipment.
Reaper Off Road “Gravestone”.
Lots of deer in my area. Wanted a strong stinger to give me a chance to go OVER them instead of wrecking my Jeep.

Thanks man. The lift is the Evo 6.5" Coil Over Conversion. The Tires are Nitto 40's, wheels are 20's. Had the axles regeared to 5.13. Also now have RCV axle shafts front and rear. Here is the link to the suspension kit. https://evomfg.com/collections/jt-g...ro-long-arm-kit-for-jt?variant=42156106088686

Nine grand is a ton of money for a lift.
Nice ride though. ??
