Reviews for Magnum by Raptor Series FBM21JPN-RT RT Series Front Bumper for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

With the exception of having to unbolt the winch to access the fog lights,I like it.

Nice bumper.
Install was pretty easy once I figured out what the designers were intending.
Can’t give the 5th star because the instructions were not great.
But the bumper design, install, and overall look is what I wanted and expected.

I love the profile, it’s solid and pretty heavy. The winch mount location is a big part of why I got this bumper and it didn’t disappoint. I’d have given it a 5 star however the part that mounts to the inner frame (nice touch by the way having the second mounting point) was bent out a little on the drivers side. I’d include a picture if I could. I hammered it in a little and was able to pull it the rest of the way in with the bolt. Also the instructions left a lot to be desired. 5 pages with awful pictures and little explanation on mounting steps. Also the hardware wasn’t labeled so you just have to figure it out. Removed and mounted in 4 hours could have been half that with better instructions I think.

Whoever designed this bumper had the best of intentions but it must have been their first day with AutoCad. The person welding could have turned the welder down a few thousand amps as well. There are bolt holes that should line up but don’t, flanges that are not flat, and bolts that have no place to go. The design and thought that went into this bumper is really nice I think they just have their tolerances to far off or the jig the build it on is lacking. My winch does not fit on the winch plate with the bumper installed. I will have to talk it all back apart (if I can) and make the winch plate work. This bumper is heavy and will work perfect once it fits. Also buy a relocation bracket for the vacuum pump if you are going to run a winch.

I took a risk being there were no other reviews or pics on this product but I liked the design. install direction's were very poor, also wrong hardware sent. I received 5 bags of bolts and four bags were all the same and one was hex bolts (which these fit nothing so im confused). So with that being said there were no accurate bolts to attach the skid plate so I had to purchase others to fit. And the measurements were off for the main bolt on assembly, On all jeeps front end you have 8 main bolt, four on left and four on the right. only 3 holes lined up, the outer top on both sides do not come close to lining up to insert the bolt. I would return product and go with my original idea of dv8 or poisin spyder but sadly there are no returns allowed so here I am... wasting money as all jeep owners do. Buy with caution
