Barracade Trail Force Bumper review

[Griz]

I purchased a Barracade trail force bumper for my 2021 Wrangler Rubicon. First I do have to mention that I watched the install video from extreme terrain which not only made it look easy but in one part there was an out and out like which I'll explain later. When I received my bumper it seemed to be a stout bumper and looked impressive. After further examination the troubles began. First. The powder coating is so thin it scratched very easily. Second they show tabs on which to mount lights but the, ( I assume) holes to hide the wires are so small only a pair of 16 gauge wire could fit through it. Not wires for and decent lights. On the other end of the tube was the same size hole which only by an act of God would the wires find there way out. According to Barracade my led fog light should fit but guess what? Not! The holes for the lights to fit in were smaller then the diameter of my lights. No matter. Even if they did fit, the bracket holes were off. No the lie. Watching the extreme terrain video, the girl just walked up to the bumper mounts on jeep and slid it on. Not happening. You need someone under the bumper and armed with a pick or screwdriver to fish for the nuts to get them to line up. My suggestion is to stay away from this bumper until Barracade puts some design effort in it to make it worth the while. Now having said all of that I'm sure with some ingenuity and help and some additional parts you might make it work. It's up to you.

Sucks about bumper. As you found out quickly. For the most part, Jeep shit is "pay for what you get". Get out the angle grinder/Dremel and get it sorted out.
