Cool or Not Cool Mopar Grill/Winch Guard w/Integrated lights

[Lightguy]

Looks like the standard $250 Mopar winch guard/bumper hoop but with a clamp on cheesy led light for $500. Definitely better options, IMHO. I like my Mopar hoop with a 10" Rigid spot/drive light bar with more than double the lumens for $200 less total, and only barely visible in the trail cam- does not block any view of the trail. Guessing the one with light bar would be the same.

I like your setup, that's what made me consider the integrated one. I run Rigid 360's on aPilar mounts.

Thanks! Had to modify/bend the brackets just a bit to fit in the factory holes where the winch plate cover had been. Really like the output from this little bar- perfect for my occasional slow speed night crawling runs.

How do the work with the front cam?

I’ll snap a pic later but they’re virtually invisible on camera, just a little bit right on the edge. Total non issue.

Looks good. I like the integrated lights. It would be even better if they plug into the fog lights. However I don't think it would work with my Super Winch. The controller box is on one side. Pretty sure the tube would hit the controller box.

I have the Aux switches so control isn't an issue for me. No Winch yet...deciding which one to go with.

Here you go.

Here you go.

They don’t interfere at all!

BTW, I got the regular steel bumper with a Quadratec winch. It keeps everything nicely tucked in. I like the look, but I'd have gone for this bumper you posted above instead if it had been available then.

BTW, the Mopar steel bumper came with the LED fog lights included. My guess it might be the same for this other bumper.

Every time I see your jeep I smile, it’s not my exact style, but I freakin love the white rim, clean look to your jeep. Awesome

I had a pair of giant 9-inch halogen lights up there at one point. But the LED headlamps render them completely unnecessary, so I removed them.

That’s why you go amber! One can never have too many lights…

I decided to go with a stealth DV8 20" light bar to avoid drawing attention. But I was considering a hoop to possibly add wide area lights.

I have the aux switches too. Some of my past jeeps I’ve used the headlights to trigger a relay and turn on the auxiliary lights. It‘s a lot more convenient than the aux switches in front of the shifter. A plug in at the fog lights would turn them on with the fogs/low beams. Great if the lights are flood lights.

i'm OK with the look, and like that it doesn't add any additional obstructions to the airflow to the radiator beyond what the Guard already adds.
i'd like to see better how the wiring is run, however this seems to be another example of the Mopar Accessory Departments penchant for selling an idea without getting into the details (like, Lumens? Color Temperature? Electrical Draw?).

further interesting is that it seems to be pictured on the Mopar Offroad Bumper that is now listed as No Longer Availble in at least some places.

Looking at changing up the from a bit, not sure if I like this or not. Mopar Grill/Winch Guard with integrated LED (prt#82216473AB). What do you think?

I would stay away from integrated aux lights - damage and replacement could be an issue and less of an opportunity to frivolously spend on brand x-y-z bolt-ons.....

I really like this. In fact, I like it so much that I’m going to go with that exact same winch and LED set up. If anyone has this and can post additional pics I would appreciate it.

I really like the 'tucked' look. I jettisoned my plastic bumper for an aluminum bumper that helped turn my Jeep into a toad. A sexy but functional pic attached...
