Reviews for TACTIK HD Front Bumper w/ Hoop for 18-23 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT

I ordered this as a gift for my sister. (Early Christmas and LAST CHEMO!!) I was very pleased with the welds on this and the finish! We bought it on a sale, so got an excellent price. Install was quick and easy. I pre-installed the fog lights, so really all we had to do is put it in place and tighten up 8 bolts. My sister (and niece) LOVE the new upgrade! Would love to see Tactik come out with a rear for the Gladiator to match!

Love it looks so clean came perfectly shipped. Very protective. I love how they even had the wood panels on the side of the box and saran wrapped in each corner had a rubber protector on the bumper at first I didn’t think all the screws and nuts are in there but you have to look under the bumper up in it where the fog lights are that’s where they store it at so don’t get nervous at first because it took me a minute to get it out with some help with neighbor boys we were able to install tonight the bumper on the gladiator, love the look of it. Very happy with this purchase.

Very well made bumper. Ships very well protected. Goes on really easy. The most time consuming part is taking the old bumper off and taking it apart so that you can access the fog light wiring harness. They buried it inside the inner layer of the bumper. I personally ran the wiring harness inside the hoop of this bumper so there were not any wiring harness showing and hanging down in the way. I have a 2020 gladiator rubicon and the old skid plate fit perfect. I had read you could not use the factory skid plate, but worth the rubicon, not sure if the skid plate is different or not but i installed it after I put the bumper on and it got perfect. The factory wiring harness worked perfect, you did not need an extension like you do if you are installing on a JK. I used the quad brand 9000 winch and it installed perfect. Very nice heavy duty bumper and easy install.

good value & easy installation ! Mounting winch was easy !

Went right on. Looks good and I like the built in winch plate. Factory fog lamps fit good.

Bought this for my 2022 Gladiator Rubicon with steel bumper and skid plate. I have the LED driving lights. My only complaint is the driving lights from my Jeep do NOT fit as they state in the description. Other than that, it was an easy install and worked perfect with my Stowmaster 5000 tow brackets mounted to my frame.

Put this on a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. Purchased this based on the few reviews that were pretty happy with this bumper. When this showed up at the house, the box was pretty beat up from shipping, but it was packaged pretty good, so there was not any damage to it. Several other reviewer's had stated this. I looked at many other front winch bumpers from other sites and manufacturers. Over the years, 66 +, I have installed and had quite a few bumpers, but for the price and quality and easy of installation this has been the easiest. The "powder coating" looks textured but is quite smooth. Reason for the 4 stars. Only time will tell how well it will hold up!? Have a Hanson front and rear bumper on a 2012 Jeep 2 Dr. Rubi that has held up very well for 11 years! Instructions state to mount the "winch first", this is not necessary as there is plenty of room to drop it in after putting the bumper on first, and go in from the backside to install the bolts that hold the winch on. Installed this myself without any help. Put on a Warn EVO 10K with synt. rope. The Jeep came with the Plastic bumper set up, but had the "Factory Steel Skid Plate" and it will work without any mods to install. Had seen where others were asking about a skid plate for this. From the few photos with front views I just speculated it would go on. The bolts that are on the bumper itself that go thru the frame horns to mount up are long enough to use some spacers to "space" the bumper out a little to remove the grill if ever I need to. Used some powder coated 3/16" angle iron I found at Ace Hardware in there "bracket section" that worked with a little modification to several holes on each bracket. They also give a little strength to the frame horn area where the bumper attaches.

Plain and simple. Not too fancy and seems solid. Everything about the bumper was easy to install. Just wish I could say the same about removing the factory bumper. I do wish it had a little lower skid plate in the front. Looks a little exposed.

I hope it fits!

Perfect fit and easy install. Takes longer to uninstall original bumper than to install this one. Looks good on my Gladiator, wish it can with skid plate though.
