That doesn't answer the question.
I guess I have no idea what you are asking. JLs come with factory fog lights in their bumper. Warns fits these. I guess I can confirm it fits rubicon LED factory fog lights. Are they all different sizes?

The halogen fog lights have a different mounting configuration than the LED fog lights. Several aftermarket bumpers and even the mopar steel bumper only fit the LED lights. I'd prefer to not have to buy fog lights.

https://www.quadratec.com/p/lod/jfb...ront-bumper-without-bull-bar-jeep-wrangler-jl is confirmed to fit the halogen ones, although I'm in the opposite predicament as you, I want one that fits the LEDs.

You can usually tell which bumper fits what type by looking at the Jeep's headlights the bumpers are attached to. If they are halogens, then most likely bumper was designed around using halogens.

The OP had LED headlights, but the ad claims to fit both OEM and aftermarket lights. I wonder if the mounting is adaptable or if all aftermarket lights are being built to the spec of the LED fog lights. If anyone has this bumper and would like to chime in, that would be great. It's the best looking option I've seen.

Guessing they meant OEM LED lights. Going to assume that most of these large after market companies like WARN probably doesn't know that the Jeep LED and Halogen lights require different brackets. Hell, I've been on the forum pretty much every day for half a year and I didn't know about it until recently.

Hi guys, I too love the looks of the Warn Elite full width bumper. Does anyone know is weight? and thickness of the steel? Most of the competition says 3/16th, but Warn doesn't advertise their steel thickness.

118 lb shipping. Probably 100 after packaging is removed.
Looks like 2/16th of an inch thickness.

The bumper itself weighs about 81 pounds (I put it on the scale), a little more with the metal brackets for the fog lights and the mounting hardware. I haven't put mine on yet but the instructions say they fit both the halogen and the LED fog lights with different supplied bolts.

Thank you! If you get any good pictures of the install feel free to post more.

So I bought this for my jeep JLU .it was installed today and sadly they forgot to put the winch on so tomorrow I'll get it lol .I am disappointed this bumper didn't come with the skid plate, which I just learned as even the shop didn't know, and now must order it as well. No idea the weight but my fog lights fit well it seems and I'll post pics tomorrow of it without the skid plate and then again when the skid plate arrives in a few weeks time.

I did the skid plate myself after and it only took 15 min. It’s easy.
