The Aftermarket Bumper List (JL / JLU Wrangler)

[blfinche]

I got the gas can mount with my bumper from Ace Engineering and wanted to add a pic so people could see how it looks.

The strap that I used to hold the gas can in works okay, but it lets the can rattle a little (I cut up an old floor mat to line the gas can mount), so I was searching for a strap that worked well. It was amazingly hard to find one that would fit without the buckle getting in the way. I thought I would share the strap that works perfectly.

Evo finally come out with a rear bumper!

I just placed my Motobilt bumper order yesterday. I didn’t go with the Evo front because mismatched bumpers will look funny

that front bumper looks good with the factory lights and recessed winch too

Here’s my setup:

Only difference today is I added the bolts back to those open nuts after removing that metal protective plate.
It rarely leaves pavement, so I have chosen to leave protective plate off. Protective plate does not fit well with arb stubby, would love to see arb you produce a small protective plate. Otherwise would consider new bumper if I choose to pursue more serious off-roading in future.
With that being said I love the look and functionality of this bumper, can fit a couple antennas if needed.

Motobilt front and rear

I really like this bumper, just wish it had a place cutout for fogs. I'm tempted to get it and see if i can modify it to work.

where did those pictures come from, I follow Evo and haven't seen these at all. If they are coming out with the rear that would be awesome.

Covid slowed things down, but I finally got the front bumper from Ace Engineering. I installed the Quadratec Stealth winch and it fits without any room to spare. It's got maybe a 1/16" between the grill and winch and 1/4" between the winch and fog lights. The fog lights use the factory harness and they stick out a bit. I can recommend this combination from a fitment perspective. The bumper is supposed to be a bolt in replacement, but I had to trim a little metal from the drivers side to get it to fit and there was a little space between where the bumper attaches and the frame (1/4" on each side). A couple of large washers took care of that. The fog lights from a Wrangler Sport wouldn't fit, so I had to order some LED replacements. Other than those 2 thing the installation was no problem.

What were your order/ship dates? Today I broke 10 weeks waiting for mine.

Do you guys think a JCR Dagger frame chop bumper for the JK would fit the JL?

Looks good! What license plate mount are you using?

I am in love with the new Rival4x4 rear bumper, good form factor, super lightweight.
