Will an aftermarket JL front bumper for a regular JLUR be compatible with a 4xe? Anything different about the mounting points/frame?

Only the prototype models are out in the wild. None of us regular customers have ours yet, so we cannot respond.

That being said, I have the same questions wrt the rear bumper & rock sliders. I don't expect to see any difference in the bumpers, but there may be some minor differences in slider mounting due to the electric power cable routing.

I have a suspicion that something is different with the rock sliders. I noticed that you cannot add the Mopar Rock Sliders to your build on Jeep.com. You can only add them to a non-4xe build. It's also not available on the build sheets for the 4xe.

I believe the steps work. I was able to get them. Just hope they do fit after seeing this.

I would think anything on top, on the sides and front and back will work. I'd be careful with anything doing with the engine and with any part that touches underneath the vehicle.

The 4xe will has a longer transmission which also means a shorter rear & longer front drive shafts. 4xe specific skidplates will be needed, but am still hoping all body mounting points are the same. Adding the ROAM frame mounted step/sliders will be one of my first mods, so I'm hoping for no changes.

I'm guessing you will be good but that is one of the areas I'd wait for.

Eventually, these aftermarket bumper and rail companies will have adaptors for the 4xE until they can develop specific models. Probably going to have to be patient since pre-launch 4xEs were not easy to come by for aftermarket developers.

Only difference regarding the front bumpers and all of the mounting points is blue vs red hooks.

I took my rock hard 4x4 patriot bumper off my ‘19, and it bolted up exactly the same on my 21 Rubicon 4xe.

The rear is the same as well. Just swapped rear bumpers last weekend, and no changes.

Only difference you need to be aware of is the speaker in the middle of the spare tire carrier if you are looking to replace the tire carrier. (Simple relocation brackets & reinforcement brackets work just fine)

Anyone know if the Mopar winch would fit? I have a 19 JLU with steel bumpers and the Mopar Warn winch, I would think if the front skid plate is different, then I would not be able to mount the winch? Sorry for the bump, but this topic was the closest to my question.

I was able to install my Warn winch with no issues. I used the Warn winch mount that is recommended for all JLURs as well. Nothing I saw was different. Of course this was also with the stock Rubicon steel bumper s as well.

They are at least pretty similar. I sold my 2020jlur and replaced it with a 2021 jlur 4xe late last year.

I had an arb bumper on the old jeep. When the new one arrived I moved it to the 4xe and put the new factory 4xe bumper on the 2020. No problems with bolting it up.
