Over the weekend, we installed our new Westin WJ2 full width bumper onto our otherwise stock JLU Sport S. We also installed Westin's skid plate, and topped it all off with a Smittybilt X20 10k winch. Overall, we're pretty happy about how it came out.

A good thing to note is that the bumper is compatible with the Sport's OEM fog lights, as Westin supplies the tools needed to mount them.

Here are some photos of the final product.

Was looking at the same bumper. How did you route the fog light wiring harness?

Slightly older post, and I'm hoping @Ismaverick will come back and tell us more about his bumper. What I love about this Westin is how smooth and simple it looks. I really don't care for the super-aggressive boulder crusher look or stinger bars, which rules out about 99% of the aftermarket bumpers out there for me.

I'd love to hear from anyone else with this Westin WJ2 bumper set up.

I have it as well with the sliders and rear bumper. Very happy with the bumper, very solid. It is on a Rubicon though, so it leaves a small gap between the bumper and the fenders. Pictures below.

Beautiful Jeep @Namib! Thank you for posting your pictures and impressions. Did you install the bumper yourself? If so, any impressions to share from that project?

Sorry, I can't help you there. I did not install it myself. My understanding was that they struggled a little with the rear bumper and tire carrier, but the front went smooth.

I hate to bring back an old thread (again) but I got this bumper on a 07 jk and am having a hell of a time mounting my JW Speaker fog lights. any tips for getting those 7mm nuts in place especially on the outside holes?

Westin has installation instructions on their website that might help.
