Reviews for Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Bumper for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
One of my first big upgrades on my Jeep Wrangler, gotta say very happy with the purchase. Looking forward to attaching my winch shortly (Just need some help with it). The price and hardware are top-notch. Install was very easy. Just a word of note. Removing the old bumper might take some time. Make sure to soak the bolts a few days in advance. Buy a breaker bar.

Great bumper. Fit perfectly. Bumper is heavy like others stated. Was able to install it by myself because I'm impatient but would be better with someone else. I did have to mount winch first. Some tight areas to access bolts. Completely satisfied with it and surprised at how quickly it shipped
Good quality very strong
It was the bumper that I liked and needed.
Lights, size of bumper
looks great, easy install.. fairly heavy so make sure you have a second set of hands available. I installed a winch at the same time and got the extensions to make fog light install easy. hardest part was getting stock bumper off
Looks good on the jeep. Install would have been straight forward with Quadratech's 10K stealth winch. I already had the Badlands Apex. I had to relocate the vacuum pump and add 1/4" spacers to move the bumper forward to create clearance for the winch with the grill. No fault of the bumper. Just be aware if you are using a larger winch it's a tight fit. The bumper it self is very nice. The extra weight of the setup dropped the front of the jeep about an inch on factory springs. I didn't have to cut off or modify the vac pump factory mounting bracket, once the pump was moved the winch cleared. Hindsight is always 20/20. If I had to do it again I would use the Stealth 10k winch. I was told by Quadratec, it would fit without having to move the pump.
This thing is insane, I just came home from doing the regular ripping around the woods, long story short I ended up hitting into a foot thick tree at about 10-15 mph. The car stalled and it was a solid hit, the only thing that happened was that the bar got a slight dent in it on the passenger side. No issues with welds or with anything crunching in, it’s not even scratched. Serious points to this bumper for protecting my fenders and wheel. I am very impressed!
