Reviews for Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Bumper for 18-24 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
Nice heavy build, but disappointed with the amount of rust after just 7 months. I know that some winter road salt can have an impact, but I have lots of steel accessories and this seems just unacceptable. An extra coat of paint or better paint before shipping wouldn’t be much to ask.
I installed the bumper in September. After only three months of western NY winter (salted roads) it developed extensive surface rust and a couple of spots on the welds. They sent me a replacement so we'll how this one does. The QRC side rails have the same problem. Maybe a poor paint job is how they sell QRC stuff at good prices.
Very disappointed in the workmanship. Welding spatter everywhere, weld quality is marginal at best. The tapped holes for mounting the fog lights were filled with coating and had to chase the threads with a tap. The right side fog light bracket was welded on incorrectly, I had to shim the mounting for alignment.
It is a good design but the manufacture of this bumper needs to step up and take a little pride in their product. A little quality control would go a long way!
Really nice looking bumper once installed, one bolt wouldn't really fit so it's mounted with 7 instead of 8. Got myself a brand new Gen 3 Smittybilt 9500# winch but the damn thing won't fit. The holes are spaced properly but they're too close to the jeep grill so i have to drill new holes about 1/2 inch further away from the grill.
Weld Splatter all over. The welds look like someone was practicing their first welds on this bumper.
Very weak design. Sags and shakes. Had to build a whim between the tailgate and the carrier. Had to use a ball hutch to hold tire up to limit the sag of a 35 x12.5 tire and FUEL wheel. This thing is going to crack out in no time. Not happy with this purchase at all but bumper / tire carriers for the JL were few and far between at the time of my purchase.
