[Howi]

Well you would need to check with the vendor but I think you would need these...

we didn't all go for a Rubicon

looking for the non Rubicon US OEM bumper, like my picture.

Sorry, when you were initially talking about the Spartacus Front bumper I assumed you were interested in steel bumpers, that’s what most people want and it’s what the thread is about so I think that was a reasonable assumption. I have no knowledge of the bumper your looking for so again I’m sorry but I can’t help.

Yes the LED fogs are OE on some models.

No problem, Wrangler newbie, I appreciate the help.

I am currently waiting on a steel() bumper with some plastic inserts, this one;

But would much prefer the one that rolls out of the factory on the non Rubicon US model (Sport?) which seems to be similar to the version we have but with around 29 miles less overhang

actually just looked at a members new sport pictures, still a big overhang!

@Rudolph Hart did you get your new bits fitted yet?

So today I had a chat with Andy at https://jeepey.com/ and ordered a long list of items from his website including the stuff in my post above. He’s a Jeep knowledgeable guy and very helpful. I’m confident he is going to deliver good quality/fit for purpose equipment. If you’re in the UK and looking to enhance your Jeep hit him up.

Did I miss the post where you showed us what you got?

Isn’t that bumper on the sport plastic?

I’ve got the bumpers, front and back Smittybilt XRC Gen 2, a Warn winch and an ARB dual compressor but we haven’t fitted them yet.

I’ve been messing with different ideas for their fitment and researching stuff like reusing the front parking sensors, number plate brackets, from/rear fog lights. There’s a lot to potentially get wrong!

I think we’ve settled on making a bracket for the compressor to mount in place of the glove box. I can’t see any aftermarket solutions I’m happy with for this. I can’t mount it in the cargo area because it gets hot and I always have the dogs in there. The other mount half under a front seat doesn’t work for me either . No room under the bonnet for it on the JL. So we’re going for a bit of innovation lol.

I just spotted this one....

https://jeepey.com/product/front-recovery-bumper-challenger-with-winch-mount-aluminium-jl-jl216/

Might be suitable? It’s aluminium so there are pros and cons. It’s ready for the front sensors/fog lights and it’s from a U.K. vendor.

Yes I very nearly went for that one but didn’t fully like the angular look if you know what I mean ? , I’m a fussy old sod

To answer the thread question : the answer is yes in BE and DE : my JLUR had alu Rock’s Experience front bumper and skid plate installed with German TuV certified before importing the car into Belgium. Import car inspection no issues once they looked at the German papers.
Thanks to Avantos Automobile GmbH in Jena for the perfect service !!

Hello!
Do you know if your German dealership can deliver MOPAR steel bumpers as well in EU?

Hello Marat, All jeep dealers in Europe can order the 10th anniversary steel bumper by MOPAR. Here in France it can be provided if you pay 2300 euros ... it's the same in germany ! Or in UK, Or Belgium, Or ... etc. etc.
Why do not you order directly in the USA ??
I just ordered the complete kit of high top fenders flares of the US Rubicon directly at the JEEP dealer in New Jersey.
620 euros with shipping instead of 1300 euros at the French dealer ...
