Reviews for TACTIK Front Bumper with Over Rider Hoop for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

nice bumper, easy install end caps came damaged, being sent new ones, great customer service.

Just put this bumper on and it seems real durable and looks great.

Very nice bumper. The finish seems a bit fragile on it but overall, it looks great. The fitment and details are as good as an OEM bumper. The finish touches up easily. Instructions were very nice and the assembly and installation was simple when taking my time.
If your bumper needs to take abuse, this is not the best choice. If you want a really good looking bumper that is more durable than stock, this is a great choice.

Reviewed the rear now the front. This review will be two part review. First the bumper itself. Again was impressed with how the front bumper and parts were wrapped. All items in great shape. Cutting crush cans out is difficult and I had to take them to machine shop for cutting. After that it was straight forward and the install was actually easy. The hiccup here was I have a towing baseplate on my jk and the could not install the two support brackets. I called Quadratec and asked if they had to be installed, they called Tactik and they said they had to be installed. Well according to their own instructions if you install the overrider hoop you do not need them. I left them out. Second part- the instruction sheet for install of this bumper is the worst instruction set I have ever seen. They need to be rewritten. Read them carefully and many times. Above all watch the video, it helps. The bumper looks great on the jeep the only ding to the rating is the instruction sheet. PS The Quadratec led fog lights supplied are amazing.

Not as heavy duty as I expected, but nice and solid once installed. Definitely a trade off here in the thickness of the steel to get the weight down, but I do appreciate the balance between weight and strength. Had a few packing issues that I had to touch up with the rattle can. The bolts on the over rider hoop were kind of a bear to get started.

The bumper end caps arrived with deep gouges in the metal, there were no visible signs of damage to the shipping box, it looks like they were packaged from the factory this way. Called Quadratec and they sent replacement end caps. The installation was somewhat difficult as some of the parts did not line up well. Overall I like the way the bumper looks on my Jeep. I want to order the rear bumper, but I'm a little hesitant after my experience with this purchase.

Bumper looks good once you get it installed. But, it is a mayor pain to get installed, especially with the winch plate. The holes are very difficult to get to line up so you will need a second person to push or pull while you insert the screws. Inspect the bumper very well before removing your old bumper. My bumper was packaged well but came with scratches already on it. If you are looking for an off-road bumper this is NOT it. When you remove the end caps the finish is already damaged from where you install the end caps. As others have stated, I anticipate this bumper rusting very quickly.

Two stars because the bumper does look good...when new. I have had this on my Jeep for 2 years. Starting last year the bumper started to rust on edges and corners. I would not consider that normal wear and tear from rock chips because of where all the rust is. I followed instructions within the manual about cleaning and then using Rustolem to clean up the rust. Now it looks even worse because the rust is showing through.

I've had this bumper through one Michigan winter. There are several rust spots. Which is very sad because otherwise I like the looks of this bumper. I am going to have to sand and repaint. Also some parts arrived scratched with touch-up paint already applied. I feel like this purchase has been a mistake and I will be battling rust as long as I own it. I would not recommend this bumper to anyone.

One of the worst bumpers that I have purchased. I purchased the bumper two years ago and within 3 weeks the sides started to rust. Quadratec was very good about sending out a replacement but the problem resurfaced after the winter. Not only did both sides rust out completely ( I have since removed them and have a make shift stubby bumper now) but now my over rider hoop is bubbling and rusting through. This bumper looked awesome when I first got it. But I thought I'd get more than just a few years out of it with normal wear and tear. I'm very disappointed in the quality and would not recommend this product in the slightest.
