Lol! The first cut is the hardest. I hope extreme terrain wasn't just assuming that the jk version would fit the jl. Aren't the fogs different from jk to jl? I haven't seen anything regarding this bumper on poison spyder's fb page.
Yeah, I've always had frame chop bumpers on my JK and after I started I never looked back... Then came cutting off all the factory suspension mounts for coilovers. I hope to avoid that on the JL.
Looking at the back of their bumper compared to my JL, the mounting points for the foglights do seem to be different... Damn...

Has anyone installed any of the Barricade bumpers for the JL? Extreme Terrain just released Barricade bumpers that are supposedly specific to the JL. Reviews say that Barricade makes decent middle of the road bumper so I might give it a shot.

Hopefully we see some release pictures after this weekend but I went ahead today and put in an order for the Aluminum lowered winch Mid-width bumper from RockHard4x4 with their Roadmaster towbar brackets. Wish there were more options that were top rated but this one should be an awesome addition to our sport.

Do we know if front bumpers from a JK will fit on a JL with no additional modifications or changes? The bumper list in the first post shows the Poison Spyder front bumpers on Northridge 4x4 but they aren't on the actual Poison Spyder site

The vast majority of front JK bumpers will fit fine.

Rear bumpers however will not.

What exactly is the hang up with compatibility of rear JK bumpers on the JL? Is it the mounting holes or is the rear frame on the JL wider than the JK?

That I do not know. I have just seen countless fellas (fab shops included) stating that rear JK bumpers do not fit on the JL.

Darn, I was hoping for specifics on how it "did not fit".

Would you mind adding us to the bumpers list?

We've also got the 1st JL Long Arm Kit out there and our front bumper has the shortest overhang plausible without cutting the frame rails (integrated full size winch mount). ROAM Offroad

Installed the Barricade Extreme HD Front Bumper yesterday. Everything went on easily and the instructions were fine. The only difference is that the instructions say to use a m19 socket for the 8 main bumper bolts, but an m18 socket fit tighter. I also never used the wrenches listed in the instructions. The sockets were ok.

The great news was that I didn't have to extend the OEM LED fog lights wire harness. There was plenty of slack to install the OEM lights on the Barricade bumper and plug the wiring harness in.

Great to see companies stepping up and making product for the new JL. I've got a question and a suggestion or two.

On your front bumper what are your plans for recover points? Are you planning on adding welded or bolt on shackle tabs to the bumper? Also do you plan to add any sort of gusseting to the hoop for additional strength?

On the rear bumper, what is the purpose of the three receivers? I've never seen that before so I was curious. What is the plan for the mounting the rear plate and lighting it up? I see two holes in the bumper where the plate would be on the stock bumper, however if the plan is to let it hang down below the bumper the plate will likely get destroyed when off roading. Also a suggestion with regards to the handle to lock down the tire carrier in the closed position. Ditch it, it looks cheap. It'll likely take a redesign, but find a way to integrate the opening and closing of the tire carrier with rear gate. It's gets old real fast when you have do two pulls to get into the back of your Jeep.

Are these bumpers available for order?

Can't seem to find a product page for them on your website.

Added your bumper to the list!

Out of curiosity - can you post more pictures of that rear bumper? Pictures of how the backup camera relocates?
