Reviews for Smittybilt XRC M.O.D. Front Bumper for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Absolutely love this combination. The bumper looks fantastic and is very well built. I haven't had to use the winch yet but it was very easy to install and wire up. my only complaint and the reason i gave only 4 stars was that the bumper being a smittybilt product was a pain to instal because the included instructions were almost useless and they include tons of extra hardware without clear instructions on which pieces to use. Overall I'm happy with my purchase, just had shone frustrating moments during the install.
Love the bumper. Looks great. Instructions are terrible. They would be better served just letting the customer wing it than give them what is provided.
Bumper is heavy duty, and looks great. It is difficult to get everything lined up, and the factory fog lights don't fit. It did include cheap lights that had water in them when they arrived. They are crudely wired and there is no way to route the wires without exposing them to debris that's thrown from the front tire.
I love this bumper because it gives the Jeep a very nice, aggressive look. Assembly took some time and all of the pieces are steel so very heavy. I did this by myself, but highly recommend getting someone to help lift into place. Requires minor drilling, I recommend a titanium drill bit to do the job. The lights that are included are total junk. After Quadratec replaced them twice, I bought some Rugged Ridge 3" LED fog lights and they've been perfect since (had to modify the brackets to make them work). I can't wait to get the matching XRC rear bumper and tire carrier.
Bumper looks great with stinger and mid width end pieces! However my local shop had to re-drill the holes multiple times to get all the bolts in to mount front bumper. The side pieces also had to be drilled out multiple times to get all the bolts in to hold them into place. May take the side pieces off in the future when I go rock crawling because I really like the way it looks without them once i got used to the "stubby" look!
The lights that come with the bumper are crap! Worked for about 1 hour. The holes are too small to use the factory fog lights :(
The end cups didn't bring all the hardware to fully secure them... they rattle and one of them scratched my grill :(
The end caps feel very vulnerable...
