Reviews for Fishbone Offroad FB22016 Front Winch Bumper with LED's for 87-06 Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ
Bumper fit good, has been up against a few trees and still holding up.
I just picked up my T.J. from shop and I love this Fishbone Bumper.
They did end up running the lights into existing harness with K.C. fog lights but they had NO problems with the install at all.
Fit easily where the old original bumper was. No modifications needed.
Well worth the $
Arrived quickly. Who ever packaged it needs a RAISE! It was extremely well packaged.!!
I haven't washed it but here are a few pictures.
Looks so good and is made super well love it!!!
Bumper fits fine and looks good. But it's quality is perhaps a bit lacking. The screws used to hold the fog lights' face plate on have rusted after the first year, and both the screws and the Fishbone name plate have corroded or oxydized and they have "leaked" white oxidization down below them in the manner of a leaky water pipe down a wall. So now I have white streaks below them, and the name plate is white. The wrinkle finish isn't as durable as I thought it should be, and so I have several small bits of bare metal where it has chipped off that are now rusted from rain.
All of this also pertains to the matching rear tire carrier bumper my husband purchased as a gift (which was also a major pain to install as it requires drilling new holes in the frame and dropping the gas tank. Expect about 3 hours install time for that one).
I want to like their products, but I have reservations now. Maybe other brands aren't much better; I don't know. This is my first Jeep and first aftermarket bumper set. Had hoped being American made might be better quality than Chinese made, but maybe it ultimately doesn't matter where it's made, or maybe it's just this brand. Maybe all brands are basically like this. I'll find out next time I re-bumper my Jeep.
Bumper is pretty nice but the lights might as well not be on there.
Great bumper looks good I am giving this 3 stars due to wench fairlead issue. The fairlead mount is designed to use bolts only vs bolts with nuts on the back. When mounting a fairlead that’ uses nuts and bolts the nut takes up additional space on e the backside pushing the wench past the mounting holes. After a few hours drilling new holes to mount the wench installation was very easy.. fish bone should think about making the slots for the wench mount a little long to avoid this issue.
The bumper looks great and was easy to install. The LED lights are very weak and seem like a waste. The LED lights are also not DOT approved, so be prepared to remove them if your state requires a state inspection.
Bumper is a decent looking bumper.. everything mounted just fine.. issue one was during shipping, the front corner poked through the box causing scratches.. wasn’t really concerned about bc This is a toy.. main issue I have, are the crappy lights!! For 500 dollar bumper, I sure wished they would have considered better lights! I have been through two sets of them so far! When the lights get here, I check them with the wiring harness provided! Which they do work..” In the instructions it says you can wire the lights in using the factory wiring harness.. I have wired them into the factory wiring harness and after about three seconds, they start losing lights until the lights won’t work any longer! I am not very happy with this products at all! Currently trying to get another set of lights shipped to me
