Reviews for Rock Hard 4X4 Patriot Series Front Winch Bumper for 18-21 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT

A great usa made product that is lightweight, but yet very robust. It worked perfectly with my oem led fog lights, and aftermarket badlands winch.

Very pleased! Well packed and high quality aluminum bumper

I absolutely LOVE this bumper. It's amazingly lightweight - it comes in at a few pounds less than the factory plastic bumper and air dam that it replaced, the fit and finish were absolutely perfect, and I have no doubt it will stand up to the beating it will get on the trails. It would be nice if there had been a few more spots available to zip tie the fog light wiring harness to, but I was able to get it secured without too much trouble.

4 stars rather than 5 only due to the winch fitment issues. It would be helpful if Rock Hard provided a list of compatible winches. I will have to trim the top plate of the bumper for clearance on the motor of my Warn 9.5 XP winch. Even after the trimming, the drum will not be centered in the opening for the hawse fairlead. That said, I bought the aluminum version. It is well made and just a couple pounds heaver than the OEM plastic bumper. I have the diesel which is a heaver vehicle to begin with so I am very weight conscious due to the Max GVW being the same on the Wrangler regardless of engine. It is easier to mount the Rock Hard bumper than it is to remove the factory bumper. I was a little surprised there is no steel reinforcement of the winch mount itself. Time will tell if it is as sturdy as it looks. The shipping process was a bit opaque. No communication until I called the shipper. Then the skid showed up in front of my garage the next day like magic. It was well packed and packaged for shipping. I also bought the steel version for my JK several years ago. It demolished the shipping box from the inside out it was so heavy. Much better this time!
