Reviews for Fab Fours Front Stubby Bumper for 18-22 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT

Good quality bumper. Installation wasn't too difficult. I did have to loosen the brackets on both sides of each frame rail so the studs would fit but I don't think that's a real issue. Due to the fairlead plate between the bumper and winch, I did need to get longer winch mounting bolts than what were supplied with my winch. (It came with 30mm, I purchased some 35mm long bolts which worked fine.) OEM halogen foglights do bolt up if you are willing to use 2 of the 3 holes provided. The 3rd one you're just not going to get back there with a wrench. Couple minor chips in the powder coat from shipping on the corners. I actually expected this... All of these bumpers are shipped the same way, wrapped in a bag made of a moving-blanket type material otherwise tossed in a box loose.... I just used a black sharpie to touch them up, and it's going to get banged up anyways. I like the look, and the bumper seems to be built well. Made in the USA is a plus. I give this one 5 stars.

Good

Love the Fab Four Quality. Came slightly scratched up but I was able to get it touched up and to the trail!

Haven't had time to install it yet but it is a well built bumper. The only problem I had was Fed Ex tossed the bumper out of the back of the truck in my driveway when we were expecting heavy rain. By the time I got home the box was soaked all the way through and fell apart. Would it have been too much to ask to at least cover it with plastic? I did have to pay $99 for shipping.

Everything

This bumper showed up in great condition. It didn’t seem well packaged but when I opened it everything looked great. I put a 10 thousand pound stealth winch on it and it works great. Very pleased with style function and quality of the bumper and that it’s American Bcas that’s important to me. The bumper didn’t line up at first and the holes on the Jeep frame needed to be drilled out in order to make the bumper fit when putting it on. It was easy and not a big deal as long as u have a drill and bit. Just needs alittle extra room but I don’t think that will happen to everyone. Seems like a robotic factory thing and u just don’t know until u take the stock bumper off. The stock bumper is a pain to take apart I recommend just buying a new wire harness for the fog lights Bcas taking part stock bumper is the hardest part. The quadratec led fog lights fit with no problems. And match my RC led headlights. DO NOT put this bumper on if u plan on changing your headlights or your grill. Once bumper is on u will have to loosen it to access the ability to take off grill to get to headlights. And you don’t have to take off bumper to put winch on. That can be done at a later date. But do your headlights first ppl. All in all this bumper is great and looks great and I’m very happy with quadratec

Well built, easy to install.

Love the look great stubby! Change the whole look off the keep! Well built! Easy to install. Probably the easy it’s out off all the mods. I reused my fog lights so I had to modify the bracket to get them to work but very simple fix. Wish the holes were round for the lights! Very happy!

High quality bumper with winch mount capability. Love the look. Pre-coated to provide long life, and made exceptionally well. Extremely satisfied.

This bumper is awesome! You will need a 2nd set of eyes when installing it. I saw someone else had issues where they had to drill out one of the holes a bit. I thought I was having that issue too, but it was just a tight fit and need to go straight on, no wiggle room. Couldn’t have done that part without the help of a friend lining me up.

If you have a JLU, the stock fog lights probably aren’t going to fit the bracket without buying the fog light bracket that fits the Sahara and Rubicon. I found this out after the fact. Fortunately it was a cheap and easy fix once I figured it out. Around $8 apiece for the brackets.

And the bumper is very durable. I hit and killed a deer with it and had zero damage. The bumper paid for itself right then and there. I was very fortunate. I would definitely recommend this bumper!
