Hooke Road Front Bumper Grille Brush Guard for 2018-2026 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT, Stubby Tube Bumper with Winch Plate, Bright Lights and D-rings

A little time-consuming, putting together but well worth it. Extremely sturdy design. I also have the rear bumper with the American flags on the side. It is equally as durable and good looking.

Very cool. Pretty easy to put together and install. Fit great. Hardest part, taking original bumper off.

Straightforward to assemble. Took me about 3 hours including remove factory bumper. Looks awesome on jeep and feels really solid!

Looks great, but was a pain in the azz to install by myself. Instructions are very unclear clear. I got it done after two days.

This bumper could have been great. Instead, it is just OK. If it wasn't so heavy and such a hassle, I would've returned it. It has some design issues, the instructions are terrible, the hardware is soft, and the finish is fragile. To start, the instruction are not that great. They are not detailed at all and the order in which they assemble the bumper is odd. You should assemble the bumper, then the brush guard and then put them together. TIP 1: Do not tighten the bars on the brush guard until you have everything connected and in position. Hardware: the bolts are soft and the hex socket rounds easily. The bolts/nuts should be grade 8. Design: 2 major problems. For whatever reason, the wings that attach to the box that has the light in it are too tall. Oddly, the wings are the same height as the main bumper body but can't bolt to it because the holes are different. Not only does this look odd, it leaves an open hole in the wing that will collect moisture and rust. I don't understand why the boxes with the lights are smaller than the main bumper. Doesn't make sense and looks weird. Also, the cross tubes all have open ends. If you live in a state that uses salt in the winter, these are all rust traps. TIP 2: buy 6-1.5" plastic hole plugs and 2-3/8"plastic hole plugs to plug the open ends of all the tubes. This will help prevent rust. I don't understand why Hooke Road doesn't include them in the kit. Lastly, the powder coat finish is thin, brittle and flakes easily. It should be thicker and more durable. Overall, it looks nice. But, I can see the issues coming and believe that I will have to take it in and have it powder coated again in a year or two. For the money, it is ok. If you buy this bumper, don't forget the plugs from Ace if you don't want it to rust from the inside out.

I really like the way this bumper looks on my Gladiator. It wasn’t hard to assemble and very easy to install on the frame mounts. The only issue that I noticed was that my winch set fairly low inside the bumper causing the winch line to firmly rub against the bottom of the fair lead. I modified the winch plate to raise it up approximately 2.5” and this resolved the issue. Aside from the winch issue, the bumper seems pretty well made and quite rigid once everything is tightened up. FYI if you remove the center cross bar that sets directly above the winch you can remove the winch without having to remove the bumper. ( very handy to know ) I will be purchasing another one of these bumpers for my Wrangler.

Love it! Went together well…don’t tighten until together!

AWESOME JUST AWESOME! LOOKS BEASTLY!!!!
