I have seen a few post on Ebay stating their bumper fits a JK and a JL. Can anyone confirm or debunk this?

Most of the front bumpers will fit just fine. The rear will not.

I second this. However, I'd avoid ebay for the front bumper. The one I ordered did not fit. It wasn't even close. The top the the bumper extended too far back into the grill. The mounting points were about 3 inches away from the jeep mounts while hitting the grill....

Extreme Terrain has similar bumpers to ebay. They will fit and come with better powder coating.

Look very carefully when buying cheap front bumpers. A LOT of them are very cheaply made junk. A decent bumper will not be cheap, but it will retain its finish better, will fit better, and will last a lot longer.

I am of the opposite opinion. I love my ebay bumper. It cost me 180$ and has held up extremely well to rocks. The coating is pretty piss poor as others have said but nothing black spray paint can't fix. Make sure to look at the metal thickness. Alot of bumpers including ebay ones are 5/16 steel. The much more expensive ones are thicker but most are similar. Make sure to double check the welds but other than that I wouldn't hesitate to get another ebay bumper.

This is great news! I kept my JCR bumper for years just waiting for a new jeep to put it on.
Do the jl fog lights mount up the same as the Jk? Or is some modification required?

I've got a rugged ridge xrc on the way for my 18 jl, any idea if this will fit? Didn't realize there was a half year in production until this morning and may have screwed myself 🤣
