Reviews for Paramount Automotive 51-0362 Full Width Front Bumper with Fog Light Housing and D-Rings for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Looks
I bought a the Paramount full width 51-362 it fits my 07 JK Sahara perfect. Extremely strong not to hard to install myself. You will need to purchase separately the plug and play fog light extension cables. I love my new bumper. It fit my RC winch perfectly with a low profile and excellent lines. Two thumbs up: Big Ed!
The quality of this bumper is great, very solid and fits great and looks great.
The bumper arrived in great condition. Installed a Warn winch before replacing the factory front bumper with this dramatic upgrade. Aligns perfect with factory fenders and I’m a big fan of the new fog light location. I installed this on a JKU and recorded about a 1/4” of sag to the budget boost spacer lift I currently have on it (30k miles on the stock springs and shocks). As the armor and steel continues to pile up, a proper lift is in order in the future, but I’m satisfied with the suspension feel after installing this bumper. Also did this install on my own with no lift or ramp (3 hours with winch included) and the hardest part was removing the crappy plastic plugs from the factory bumper. Solid purchase, getting tons of compliments and people staring at it looking for the poison spyder logo :)
Love the bumper! It came package right having no marks on it. The only problem I had was trying to line up the 6 bolts. But after awhile I was able to line them up ( pain on the back after servals attempts). But once it was on OMG it looks great! Was thinking of getting new fenders but I like the look.
Great bumper very easy to install,looks awesome!!
We received our bumper in great shape, packaged well. We picked this model so we could use the Halogen lights that came on the " '18 Sport S JL we have (we also have an '18 Sahara JK, much easier to buy for!) The bumper went on real easy, after we removed the original and the light harness. Fog lights fit great and the bumper looks nice. Plus, I don't have a piece of plastic up front anymore! All in all, installing the lights and the hoop and putting it on, it took about 1 1/2-2 hours, Don't include removing the original in that, Thank you Quadratec and Paramount for great products and service.
Easy installation, my 12 year old daughter helped the instructions tell you exactly what size tools you need.
I would suggest a 13mm wrench for the bar installation if you attach it while the bumper is on the Vehicle
There's not a lot of room to get a ratchet in there but if you have a air ratchet it will make it quicker for sure
Overall I'm happy with the looks
Now for the possible bad, not sure how the finish is going to hold up there are some bad spots from shipping and I guess I didn't read that the bull bar was a bolt on so I may weld it on one day then have it re powder coated.
Installation took about an hour.
Style and price.
Nice bumper for the price... couple of issues though. In stall was a breeze, solid construction and seemingly a good finish. But... IT’S NOT CENTERED! No way to adjust the bumper side to side without taking a die grinder to the actual frame of my Jeep to elongate the mounting points... was off left to right by almost two inches for a lop sided look. Wish it was 1. Centered properly/built properly and 2. I didn’t have to take metal out of my frame to make it fit properly! Otherwise a great bumper for the $$$!
