Reviews for DV8 Offroad FBSHTB-24 FS-24 Front Stubby Bumper for 07-20 Jeep Wrangler JL, JK & Gladiator JT

Nice and well-built bumper within the price range, packaging was in perfect condition, pretty easy installation. Looks nice and fits perfect on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler.

Having ran this bumper for a few months and just recently mounting a winch Here’s my take-away:
I had to grind the bumper to mount a Warn VR-8S. The casing from the winch hit the front of the bumper preventing the bolt holes from lining up.

There are no front shackles. Didn’t really think about that when I bough this bumper. Makes it more difficult to double up the winch line.

The coating was decent but it’s starting to surface rust in places

I’m being generous on the 4 stars. Bumper looks great however it would take 30 seconds to cover the welded on bolts before they powder coated the bumper. That thirty seconds would have saved me about an hour of installation time. Both sides of bumper are flaking because either DV8 shipping department or UPS dropped the bumper multiple times.

Zero instructions on how to install on Gladiator or JL. Only JK. If you’re going to say it will fit with the additional brackets you have to buy how about instructions for Gladiator install. When you use the brackets the tabs for the fog lights are in the way of the frame and cannot finish mounting bumper!
