Reviews for Smittybilt 76524 SRC Stinger Front Bumper for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Solid build. Looks great. Would have gotten 5 star except none of the bolts lined up. I had to drill out all pre existing holes one at a time and put the bumper in place several times to get the bolts to line up without removing to much and while keeping everything square. Aside from the product itself the box was damaged to the point that it was returned to the manufacturer from my local FedEx. The bumper that finally did arrive was in a box that looked like it was dragged behind the truck, and the bumper did have two minor scratches. I know it's going on a Jeep but I would like to put the scratches on myself. I don't even think it was an actual box. It looked like large pieces of cardboard taped togather. I was very surprised all the parts were inside. It all worked out eventually but I remember quadratec having better quality control. Also I ordered a rear bumper which the website did not update to be on backorder. It is well over a month now and I still have not received it. This is my first round of orders for my 15 JK.

Heavy duty, solid build. The thing definitely weighs significantly more than the stock JK bumper, and that's a good thing. It looks great, and completely changed the look of my Jeep. I'm giving it 3 stars because none of the holes lined up, and the instructions might as well be thrown away. The instructions said to drill out the holes on the frame horn to 7/16 of an inch, but the holes were already that wide. This was a pain to install, even with two people. Once it's on, it looks great, and seems extremely durable, but it was horrible to install. Smittybilt's instructions are pretty much worthless. Also, just a heads up, it causes a loud high pitched whistle when going over 45-50. But overall, I really like it, it looks good, and is heavy duty!
