Will the Rampage Rock Rage bumper (with Bull bar) allow me to continue to use my Curt front hitch and my Anglers Fish-N-Mate Surf-Mate Jr. cooler/Rod rack ?
Or will the Bull bar get in the way ?
Based on the design specifications and installation data for both the Rampage Rock Rage Front Bumper (99306) and CURT Front Mount Hitches, it is likely that you will encounter compatibility issues that could prevent you from using your Angler's Fish-N-Mate Surf-Mate Jr. rack in its current configuration.
Compatibility Conflicts
Physical Space Conflict: CURT front hitches (such as models 31432 for JK or 31086 for JL/JT) are "concealed" designs that mount to the frame rails behind the factory bumper. The Rampage Rock Rage bumper is a heavy-duty steel unit with an integrated winch plate and deep-reaching side supports that occupy the same physical space as the CURT hitch’s main cross-tube.
Bull Bar Obstruction: The Rock Rage bumper features a round bull bar that extends 9 inches out from the bumper's front surface. Since the Surf-Mate Jr. is 10.5 inches from the hitch pin hole to its rear upright post, the bull bar will likely physically block the rack from being fully inserted or cause the rack to sit too close to the bar for safe use.
Recommendation & Possible Solutions: Before purchasing the bumper, it is highly recommended to measure the distance from your current CURT receiver to the front-most point of your vehicle. If the Rampage bull bar's 9-inch protrusion exceeds this, you will definitely need a hitch extender to use your cooler rack.

Is this bumper satisfactory for flat towing a Gladiator behind a motorhome?
No, the Rampage Products 99306 Rock Rage Front Bumper is not rated or recommended for flat towing a Jeep Gladiator behind a motorhome.
We'd recommend looking at the LoD brand, which offers frame tie-ins and tow bar adapters. Their bumpers with those add-ons are rated for flat towing.

I saw in an installation video that the bumper did not fit into the brackets on the jeep. Will this product fit on to my 2023 Sahara unlimited 4xe?
Yes, it will. These are the fitment notes you need to be aware of: The JK and JL 4-Bolt Fog Lights are a direct install. The JL 3-Bolt Fog Light requires modification. For the JK and JL with metal bumpers, their fog lights will not fit.

What is the recommended torque setting for the mounting bolts/nuts?
For Jeep aftermarket bumper installations, torque the 1/2" bumper bolts to 80 ft-lbs and re-torque after 1000-3000 miles.

Does this block the factory front trail camera?
This bumper and grille guard will not block the trail camera.

Does this bumper use 3/4” or 5/8” D rings?

Do you need the fog light extensions for a 2020 JT Sport?

Does this bumper have enough clearance for a Blue Ox tow plate?
We have not tested, but based on the successful fit seen from a shared image with Rock Jock tow bar system, it appears that there should be adequate clearance for a system designed for Blue ox tow or other popular tow bars as well. Thanks for your inquiry.
