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

[JPAloha]

I like the look of it, maybe something for the wife’s 4xE. I’d want to know that the lights can be replaced separately rather than have to purchase the whole thing again.

I prefer the look of my Daylighters though….

From a purely aesthetic point of view, IMO Wranglers deserve a nice set of traditional round auxiliary lights.

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.....

This!

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.

I have to say the classic white rims really look great on this Jeep.

In my humble opinion, this specific bar looks rather puny, like it was robbed off of a kids electric ride on toy Jeep.

In general, most of the 2" bumper bars look more at home on the JK's, because that generation of Jeep was a bit more overall slender. The JL's have a bit more fuller and muscular look, which is why I ended up with the Maximus-3 SLP bull bar. It's constructed of 2.5" tubing, which is more proportionate to the overall look of the JL.

Should have removable end caps

I have a non-OEM bumper, but I really like the Mopar bumper’s expandability.

Interesting...but when I look up the part number posted, its $850 and looks just like a light bar...not the hoop...I originally thought the lights were in the hoop but is it just this small light bar attached to the Mopar hoop?

I personally like it's looks, especially with the wings removed. Also, mopar does a great job with their prep and powder coat finish. Only downside is that after adding an aftermarket winch plate and bull bar, the same amount of money has been spent that could buy 2 fully equipped aftermarket bumpers.

No regrets at all. Just thought it was worth mentioning the flip side of the coin.

I like it, but for what it's worth, here's the factory steel bumper with the end caps off, factory hoop and KC lights. I don't have the front camera, so nothing to block.

That looks great, and the look of that exactly is why I wish I hadn’t cheaped out on the metal bumper option. If I end up keeping my lease (signs point to yes) I’ll probably try to source a metal from OEM bumper. None of the aftermarket ones look as good to me.

I agree, I have Rigid 360's on the aPilar, but obstruction of the front trail cam is on my mind.

Nice look!! This is what I had in mind until I saw the integrated LED Hoop.

You can get the light only, here is the part from the Jeep Performance Parts catalog

I would not get it if you have the front trail camera. The bar will block the view of the camera.
