ACE Engineering Bumper

[Howhow]

Good and ugly.


I finally received the front bumper this morning. Par for the course, it took some nagging to get an update on when it would ship but it did ship UPS and show today.

The frustration : the website is wrong. If you've ordered fogs, the sport non led brackets from the JL do not fit. I do believe that factory led will fit. Referencing this video from a JT this should confirm Ace/Steinjager dropped the ball and that non sport fogs should fit.

@ORACLElights came in clutch and I'm able to get the brackets by Monday. Very disappointed from Ace but glad oracle was able to give a hand.

Fitment was mediocre. After messing around for far two long and becoming even more frustrated then I was after finding out those fogs didn't fit, I opened up the mounting holes a 1/16 or so. I also checked the threading on the mounting holes and they were questionable. Luckily I had a big enough tap and after retapping all the threads real quick it went on like butter. While I can't complain too much considering I got it for $665 I'd certainly be upset if I was paying the updated retail on this.

I'm bringing back this old thread because I'm considering eventually getting the ACE Engineering front bumper.

I no longer have my stock fogs but I do have these aftermarket fogs sitting around and wondering if I'd be able to bolt these up to the bumper.

Also curious if anyone with this bumper has the 12k HF Badlands Apex winch and if there are any fitment issues or cutting that would need to be done to make it work.
