2021 Jeep Wrangler JLUR
Installed these today:
- Warn winch mount
- Warn Zeon 10 S
- Factor 55 flat link

The synthetic rope was a really pain in the ass to install. Had to unwind a coat hanger and pull the rope using that.

Didn't have modify the skid plate, it all seemed to line up.

Next up I will cut and modify the bumper insert so it looks more full in that area.

I will be replacing the Warn fairlead with a Factor 55 fairlead.

I ordered one. Along with a EVO rear bumper and Grimm off-road ARB twin bracket.

Nice! Look forward to seeing pics!

Thats a cool looking bumper. Assuming its aluminum, because the shackle mounts are finished, are you gonna leave it as is or are you coating it?

I just recently wired up my ARB twin, and its awesome. The Grimm mount was on my short list, but ended up going with MORE because my AAL fender liners didn't leave enough room for the twin compressor. You'll have your twin wired up in no time. Running the ARB harness from the cargo area was grueling.

I had my Twin wired up in the hidden cargo area in my 4 door. On my 2 door it has the sub so I had it in a Craftsman tool box. I decided I wanted it back under the hood as it was in my JK.

The bumper is aluminum and I’m going to keep it bare. I didn’t want a full bumper, just to cover the frame a little. I think it will look good on Bikini. I will be looking for a bare front bumper too. I’m sure someone will buy my metal Rubi bumper. I might just put a clear coat on it.

Jeepless but still a fan.
Nice use of CAD (cardboard-aided design).
Hehe - it works quite well.

There's guys who like the Goosegear stuff but I'd rather have 90% of the function (minus fancy little cubby doors which you don't even need anyway to store things under it) and spend 100 bucks over 1400. I'm in the que at Ursa Minor to have a J30 built so saving money is pretty important =)

Got those pics I promised. E-brake engaged without hand and with. The lever in 4lo doesn't impede the grab and pull of the handle, put the knob does kiss my hand with the brake fully set. This is grabbing it just the same as I would with the factory knob.

I think the bare aluminum bumper will look great with the Bikini, as well. Next Venture Motorsports just recently started making aluminum bumpers and armor.
