Brands: Motobilt & Warn

Replaced the Rubicon's plastic front bumper to match the rear. Included Warn's EVO 8-S Winch with synthetic rope.

The bumper came bare metal so I spray painted starting with (1) Rust-oleum Self Etching Primer and (2) Rust-oleum Textured Black. Before you start painting, make sure to use fine sanding paper or a scuff pad to create a better bond. Also use some type of mild cleaner to remove any particles from the surface.

Purchases:
Front bumper from Motobilt because they offer veteran discount via GovX verification https://motobilt.com/products/jeep-jl-rear-bumper-crusher-no-spare-2018-present-wrangler-jl

Awesome. How big is the opening for the winch? I was looking at the Harbor Freight Badlands 12k winch and I think the body is bit larger than most warns and smittybilt.
