Rival 4x4 Aluminum Front Winch Bumper for 07-24 Jeep Wrangler JK, JL & Gladiator JT

In the end project bumper swap turned out well. I used a Warn Zion 10 S on my 2023 High-Tide. As most comment the instructions are lacking. They are different but once you get the hang of them, it works. There are also a couple of YouTube videos for the install. If you are installing sensors you are going to spend a lot longer on this project. In my case I did not. Follow the instructions and don’t tighten until you have everything lined up with or without shims required. In my case, I tend to be a perfectionist so I had to bumper on and off three or four times to make sure everything was centered and even. The bumper is light so it’s easy for one person to do this. The weight of the bumper and winch subtracted a half inch on the OEM suspension. My only negative for Rival is the quality control on the nuts welded into place. The lower front tow hook nuts on both sides were not welded straight so you could not screw the bolts all the way I had to shim it out with some of the extra hardware a quarter inch or more to allow the bolt to tighten down without hitting the bumper. This is all under the bumper skin when finished so if you make it work, you’re not going to see it and it is secure. Also, I ordered front and rear bumpers, and it took the front bumper a week longer to arrive. There is no tracking info on the order so just be patient it will get there. Thank you quadratec for answering all my questions before purchase.

Installation guide was obviously originally written in Russian. Although these guys are poor communicators in terms of instructions, wow... This front bumper inspired me to buy the rear bumper. All hail mother Russia...

Absolutely love this bumper, it is sleek and rugged, and subtle. We've got the full length with our winch mounted, this thing is solid and pretty lightweight as well.
