Do you have specs on the tow loops for this bumper? They appear to tie to the frame so I would like to know if I can flat tow from those loops? Thank you
The tow loops on this bumper are designed for recovery purposes and are tied directly to the frame for strength. However, they are not rated or intended for use as flat-tow points. Flat towing requires tow points that are explicitly rated for towing, with proper mounting brackets that can handle the stresses of pulling the vehicle over long distances.
For flat towing, you would need to use dedicated tow hooks or mounts designed and rated specifically for flat towing. AEV’s tow loops are strong enough for recovery but not certified for the specific rigors of flat towing. It’s recommended to install a separate flat-tow base plate system for that purpose.

Does the bumper cause less air to get to the Radiator? It looks like a lot of material in front of the Radiator.
The bumper does not include the lighting so smaller auxiliary lighting could be used to lessen the blockage of airflow. Anything obstructing the grille area of course could affect your cooling system's needs. Thanks for your inquiry.

Will factory fog lights mount to the EX bumper without additional mounting kits?
Yes, it will, if your stock bumper is a plastic molded bumper edition. Factory fog lamps from the steel Rubicon off-road bumper will not directly fit. Thanks for your inquiry.

What skid plate do I need for use with the AEV EX front bumper? You provided a link in someone else’s question but it’s says it’s not for Ex.
The AEV skid plate and winch plate are compatible with RX and EX series bumpers. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks for your inquiry.

Will this bumper mount with my stock skid plate?
No, it will not. If a skid plate is needed, it will require the purchase of AEV's skid plate for use along with the EX front bumper. See the following link. AEV EX Front Bumper Skid Plate Thanks for your inquiry.

Will other brands of lights mount up to the brush guard other than the AEV 7"?
Yes, they will if they are sized appropriately for the space there. Thanks for your inquiry.

How much airflow does this design cut off to the grill?
I could see it being a concern if way too large of an off-road auxiliary light was used. The brush guard itself should not provide unreasonable levels of added heat. Thanks for your inquiry.

Hello. Is it possible to take the side "flares" of this bumper to make it look like the RX?
Yes, it can be done but there’s a fair amount of work involved and doing it repeatedly would very likely lead to premature corrosion over time. It’s worth noting too that even our full-width corners provide significantly more ground clearance than the OEM bumper and offer much more corner/flare protection. Thanks for your question.

Which model would be designed to work best with a 2021 JL Unlimited Rubicon, the "highline" or the "standard"?
Highline Flares are standard on a Rubicon and that will be the best option. Thanks for your inquiry.
