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

Awesome! Now I have STEEL upfront instead of the stock "plastic-over-a-tin-can" that my Gladiator Rubicon called a front bumper. Installing the flood lights was a pain in the... fingers. I have big hands and the tiny bolts with washers & nuts are in some very tight spaces. I installed them prior to installing the bumper and couldn't imagine trying to complete that task otherwise. The bumper was mounted with no problems. I reused the Rubicon's steel skid plate. It did not align perfectly but, a 10-ton jack and section of 2x10 got it into alignment perfectly. I have since bounced off a couple tree stumps and rocks and all is well. Great product.

LOVE the bumper! Get complements on it all the time! Only downside is that we had factory steel bumpers which had factory fog lights that are not compatible, so we had to leave the front bumper off until we got some fog lights. Not the end of the world and I found it in the documentation after the fact.

I just installed my QRC Front Bumper on my 2020 Gladiator, I went very slowly and worked alone. It still only took a couple of hours. Bumper looks great appears very well made definately enhances the front end of my Jeep!

Love this bumper! Looks great. Install was straight forward and instructions were concise. Only recommendation to manufacturer would be to move the winch bracket holes forward about 1/2 inch to make winch install easier.

This is a fantastic front bumper. It came well packaged, with easy to follow instructions. I am 62 years old and I installed this by myself. Everything lined up perfectly, fog lights were easy to install. It looks good, and priced right. So far I have been highly impressed with the Quadratec logo items.

Easy to install. Bolt holes match. No problem hooking up the factory fog lights.

Looks wonderful there was only one issue with the installation the bolt that’s attached to the bumper worked fine the bolts that you have to screw into the bulb bumper into the hole with the lubricant in it didn’t go in well after many attempts.

I love how it looks on my 2020 jeep wrangler and it was so much easier putting it on then what I expected. Just FYI this bumper is stout I had enlist some help putting it on the mounts. The only down fall is the tiny bolts and nuts for the fog light that was kinda aggravating but overall the bumper is AWESOME

Great product! Have had over a year now and it’s holding up fantastic and gives a great aftermarket look.

Just installed my Quadratec QRC Stubby bumper.
Bumper arrived a couple days earlier than expected, very well packaged and in flawless condition :)
Bumper is very well built and no lightweight @ 110 lbs. , the bumper is made from 6 gauge plate and the winch support plate is over 7mm thick! Good weld quality/integrity and the powdercoat finish is perfect.

The only tough aspect of the install was installing the fog lights, it was hard to keep the nut & washer together as you try to thread the bolt through the mounting hole. It was tight to get in there, I ended up keeping the nut/washer together w/ some blue painters tape and then holding that tape under the mount to thread the bolt through, was pretty easy after that trick :)

Mounting the bumper to the Jeep frame was simple enough but need to keep the bumper loose until you get the 4 outer bolts threaded into the bumper as there's little room to get all those bolts threaded without any binding or cross threading. Luckily I backed one bolt out before crossing the threads but would be pretty easy to do if you're not careful.

Mounting the winch to the bumper was straightforward although you might want to mount the winch first as there's some tight areas to work with once the bumper is already installed.

I installed the winch after the bumper was installed and took a bit longer since the winch wiring is really tight behind the winch and trying to get to the back winch bolts is pretty tight w/ that angled lower winch support. There are two large cutouts on the underside of the winch plate so you can get your hands in there to install the winch bolts, just a bit tight.

All the bumper holes to the frame, winch plate, fairlead mount, and fog lights were all spot-on, and no need to do any adjustments to the fog light harnesses. There is a thick rubber sleeve included that goes over the stock fog light wire harness to keep it protected even better than stock :).

This bumper will work with the 3 bolt Sport fog lights, and the 4 bolt Rubicon/Sahara fog light w/ plastic bumper (will NOT work w/ the fog lights from a Rubicon w/ Steel bumper).

All said, I'd give this an A+ from packaging all the way to the installed finish, and for the nice price point you get a huge "bang for the buck"!
