Reviews for Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Bumper for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

I ordered the front and rear bumper to match. The bumpers arrived quicker than expected. The bumper was in perfect condition when it arrived. It is a bit heavy, but I used a ceiling mounted electric hoist to assist in the mounting of the bumper (holding it up so I could bolt it in, which worked great. If you have a hoist or a wench, you can mount it above your Jeep temporary and wrap a strap around it, and one person can install this bumper that way. The factor bumper was a little challenging removing it just because there are 2 bolts on each side of the frame rail. The outside ones are easy enough to access, the inside ones are a bit more tricky, especially if you have huge hands like myself. You may also have to have a deep well socket to remove a couple of them. Installing the new bumper was easy enough. Just make sure to get the fog light extension kit to give yourself plenty of room for the fog light wiring harness. Otherwise it was about an hour and a half from start to finish. It looks awesome for the money. As always, another satisfied customer of Quadra tech.

I was able to pick this bumper up at the Tent sale 10/6/18 and we installed it that night. I love the look it gives my jeep. Im not to thrilled on the gap that is now between the grill and bumper but once the winch is installed it wont be an issue. Cant wait till next years tent sale.

I installed this bumper on my 2018 JKU Rubicon and it looks fantastic! I also bought the Quadratech 9550i winch and installed it at the same time. It's a tight fit but the bumper slid right into place after installing the winch first. Make sure you hook all the wires up to the winch first. I would prefer if the winch sat about 1/2 in further forward so the wire terminals weren't so close to the grill but it fits fine. There is large gap between the front grill and bumper where the plastic filler sits on the stock bumper. I just notched the filler out for the winch and re-installed it to fill the gap. Looks a lot better I think. Entire install took about 4 hours, but I was being I am very picky and use anti-seize on every bolt I install because I hate rust. Definitely recommend!

I installed this bumper on my 2017 JK and it looks fantastic! I bought the full size version with the extension tubes over the tires. I also bought the Quadratech 9550i winch and installed it at the same time. It's a tight fit but the bumper slid right into place after installing the winch first. Entire install took about 4 hours, but I was being ultra careful and double-checking every step before I did it. Wiring the winch motor took the most time (mostly routing the cables) but was actually pretty easy. Bumper installs with only 8 bolts and would have only taken an hour max by itself. Definitely recommend this combo!

Awesome looking bumper. Solid built, looks great on my JKU. Definitely need to put your winch on the bumper before putting the bumper on the Jeep. Not sure I could have done it without help, since it is heavy. Had a small issue with my order (things happen, nobody's fault) but Quadratec was right on it and quickly made everything right. Very very happy with this addition.

Love this bumper. Finally bought stubby version. Looks awesome on my JK. Unfortunately....got kinda messed up already. Its a Jeep....right.

Installed this bumper this weekend. Bumper looks great and arrived in perfect condition. Couple notes that may be helpful. Yes, you need to install the winch on the bumper before mounting on the jeep. It may be possible to put the winch on after the bumper is installed, but that would be a real ordeal. I installed this myself (winch on bumper) and was quite concerned as I didn't have a helper, a lift or any other lifting aids. I used the foam blocks that the bumper was packed in and placed them under the bumper/winch unit once it was resting on the mount. Then I used cardboard from the box to slowly increase the height until the bolt holes lined up. Not elegant, maybe a tad ghetto, but it worked and enabled a solo install. Again - very nice looking bumper. Well pleased.

Great addition to my Jeep for sure! Easy install and everything matched up. I got the extension and used my factory fog lights for now. I have tubular side rails so this looks perfect and the price is spot on! Can’t beat it for the money and the look isn’t compromised with the lower price. Would buy this again all day.

Absolutely changes the looks. Awesome sturdy bumper!!!

Love it!! Having the Winch set down between frame rails and not having to move anything to do it.
