2018-2026 Jeep Wrangler JL & 2020-2025 Gladiator JT OE Plus Front Bumper

Let me begin by saying that I received this bumper as a Christmas gift for my new Jeep 2025 Gladiator. The instructions provided are accurate. However, it’s crucial to thoroughly read all the instructions, not just skim through them. Apart from this, you’ll need a small flathead screwdriver to help adjust the holes for the bolts. The insulation was quite straightforward. My only concern with the bumper is the hardware that came with it. The top bolts were painted black instead of being die-cast black metal bolts. If you scratch them while trying to tighten them, the paint will chip off. Another piece of advice is to clean all the threads before installation. Additionally, where the factory fog lights are located, the instructions suggest using zip ties to hold them in place. However, I recommend purchasing the appropriate nuts and bolts from a hardware store to bolt them on. This will result in a much better appearance compared to the zip ties.

Really great bumper.

Great looking bumper, terrible instructions and fitment

2023 Jeep Wrangler JLU. Everything came packaged wonderfully inside the box that was absolutely destroyed by the carrier. But the bumper wasn’t damaged at all because of the careful packaging inside. Install was a nightmare because the instructions on the website don’t tell you what each piece is. And nothing lined up at all without forcing it. I too did not know about the trim pieces around the tow hooks to make it look better. We also didn’t know about the spacers we could have used behind the bumper to allow our winch to fit properly until we had everything mounted, then had an ahhh ha moment when we saw them sitting to the side. We had to leave 2 bolts off the bottom because they just would not line up at all. In the end I’m happy with how it looks, but hate I missed the trim pieces and hate we had to remove the bumper 3 times to fix the spacing issue. And I really hate not having 2 bolts in it on the bottom. Probably wouldn’t purchase again, which I hate to say because I really like the look of it and all my other DV8 products have been amazing.
