Will the steel JL bumper fit the Gladiator Rubicon?

[ralphtt]

Discussed the steel front bumper shortage with a reputable dealer today. Asked if I could swap the steel front bumper from the JL I intend to trade for the plastic front bumper that will come on the new Gladiator Rubicon.

He was agreeable but stated the Gladiator Rubicon might have a wider front bumper than the JL and this might make for a difficult swap.

Anyone out there have experience with this potential problem? Could be a way to workaround the steel bumper shortage if the JL front bumper will fit the Gladiator!

Most but not all JK bumpers fit JL so should fit JT, so the answer is probably

At least from pics the JT/JL bumper appears like it has shed a few inches in the gut.

It also appears to be longer / longer center caps. I’m pro jk steel bumper. Especially because I have end caps already.

I need to search for jk mopar bumper on JL.
