Reviews for Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Bumper for 18-24 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT

This bumper really completes the look of the front of the Jeep. I was able to install it myself in about four hours, though I definitely would’ve benefitted from an extra pair of hands. Installing lights, a winch, and D-Ring shackles to the bumper was easy. The bumper held up well when using my winch to get out of a mud hole on the trails. No rust to speak of after 1.5 years despite living in a climate where road salt is used often during the winter. Happy with my purchase.

Good

Looks good

Looks great. Installation was straight forward, directions were spot on. Package arrived intact with no issues.
I would recommend this bumper to anyone.

Features

It looks solid - I love the way it looks

The fact that it is winch ready and good looking

Great looking and relatively easy one person install. Flood lights were initially pointing a little high (oncoming traffic flashing their brights at night) and had to use a washer to adjust them down. Arrived slightly damaged from shipping and Quadratec was very quick to respond and take care of it!

Front coverage

This is a great bumper! Solid! I reused my JT Rubicon stock LED fog lights, those were a bit difficult to install. I had to shim out the bumper in order to install the Badlands Apex 12k winch. I used 4 M12 washers per bolt/stud, so 32 total. I replaced the bolts with M12x45mm 1.75, 4 of them. This gave me plenty of room for the winch. Attaching the winch was a chore as the winch plate is not easily accessible from under the vehicle. After shimming out the bumper, there was enough space to allow me to reinstall my factory skid plate.
It was a win win all around shimming out the bumper.
