Reviews for Paramount Automotive 51-0362 Full Width Front Bumper with Fog Light Housing and D-Rings for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Ok, so first off I loved the bumper. It looks good and was very easy to install. The issue I had came when I tried to install the winch. I bought a badlands apex 12000 and knew going in that I would have to relocate the vacuum pump. The relocation wasn’t a problem but installing the winch was. The way the bumper is designed means that you have to take it off to install the winch. That isn’t a problem. The problem is that once the winch is installed, there isn’t a good way to access all 8 bolts to get the bumper back on the Jeep correctly. I ended up using my sawzall to cut bigger holes in the bottom of the bumper so I could access everything correctly. The end result still looks good and I didn’t have to cut through any of the gussets but the process took me about an hour longer than it should have. A little bit more focus on the design of this bumper could have made it amazing. As it is though, I can only say that it is a good value for the money and if you don’t mind cutting newly bought steel it is still worth the price.
