Reviews for Smittybilt 76807LT XRC Gen2 Front Bumper for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
This bumper finished off the look for my build....aggressive styling, functional, built solid.....
Great bumper. Looks awesome. Here's a tip. There are 4 holes where this mounts to each side of the frame. Two inner holes and 2 outer. The instructions talk about drilling the top outer hole out to a half inch. You'll find that the bolts fit that hole just fine. BUT DRILL THOSE HOLES OUT ANYWAY! Maybe for some people or some years of the JK things lined up fine without drilling. But with my 2017 these 2 holes were out of line and drilling them out would have increased the likelihood that they lined up much better.
Great bumper! Packaged extremely well. Very heavy duty and well built. Installation was very easy. No drilling needed at all on my 2016 JKU. You will not regret buying this bumper. Thanks Quadratec!
Love the light textured finish!
Fit like a glove, I didn’t have to drill any holes everything went on pretty smooth. I had to push it up on the sides to get the bolts to go on, but I got it done, every bolt is torqued to recommended 60ftlbs besides the lower inner bolt in front of evaporation pump. (Deep socket plus torque wrench couldn’t fit) I bought the quadratec Q9500 stealth winch and read everywhere to bolt winch on before mounting the bumper which if you do you block a bolt, so mount the bumper first. I gave a bad review on winch but it was mostly the lack of giving a ship of guy I called at quadratec and I got his oh well attitude. Called customer service this morning and he informed me that they do work together, went out and checked and yes they do but you have to install bumper all the way so everything is torqued as you cannot reach some bolts with winch on. Sorry quadratec I thought I wasted time and money and had to leave bumper off until I got new winch ordered, but everything worked out in the end.
Such a nice bumper. Very solid, love the look and everything!
I really like this bumper. Strong, good looking and practical.
Rear ended a guy, barely a scratch
Great bumper like the stubby bumper
Easy install. Instructions say to drill outer holes in the frame bumper mounting plates to 1/2", but on my 2013 it was not necessary. Everything lined up and fit perfectly.
