The Fab Fours Ghost Stubby Front Bumper for Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT delivers minimalist design with high-clearance performance. Crafted from rugged 3/16″ U.S. steel, it boasts a stealthy matte-black, two-stage powder-coat finish that blends toughness with refined styling. Its “stubby” profile hugs tight to the frame, optimizing approach angles without sacrificing protection. Winch-ready, it accommodates popular Warn Zeon 10, XD, or EVO winches, and offers integrated recovery points via D-ring mounts and tow hooks for serious off-road dependability. With capacity for up to four RIGID 360 Series 4″ round lights or 3″ cube lights, the Ghost Stubby blends function and form perfectly.
Made entirely in the USA with American steel and craftsmanship, this bumper is engineered for drivers who demand strength, style, and substance. Whether equipped with the optional pre-runner guard or in its baseline stubby form, it disappears until needed but is always ready when the trail demands.

Fab Fours Ghost Stubby Front Bumper Reviews
Bumper showed with minor scuffing from shipping. Was wrapped in a blanket but moved around quite a bit in box. Bumper is great, I will say the threaded holes for the bolts do not match the thread pitch of the bolts. Wrecked 2 bolts then said "F-it" and tapped for correct thread pitch. The bottom outside bolts need micro hands to get installed. The stock skid plate was reinstalled with two small slots cut into it to allow for bumper reinforcement to slide into. To close.... IT'S BADASS LOOKING!!!
Couldn’t be happier! Absolutely easy install for the bumper itself. I knew I would love it as much as I do! I did, however, have to make some incisions to accommodate the DV8 sway bar skid plate. Cuttoff wheel and some touch up paint and the two mated together like a dream! Powder coat is definitely top quality. Mine came gloss black and you can tell it’s high quality. Fabfours went above and beyond in the powder coat department and the quality of the build! I must say they have some great welders too! Ultra thick. Ultra heavy duty! Couldn’t be happier! It took longer to get the old one off than it did to get the new one on! The winch (Warn Evo 10S) looks like it will slide in pretty easy with the grill off. I am upgrading to a 2024 update grill to give more room for the wires on the winch controller and my measurements show that the winch should give me no fits with the grill off! I am also utilizing the factory fog light harness to act as the switch for my AUXBEAM lights. I ordered another bumper harness so I can sell the original with the bumper that I will tie into the AUXBEAM harness on the switch side of the relay. Amp draw to the fog light fuse will be minimal by doing it this way. I am absolutely overjoyed at the quality of this bumper. I’ve ordered a lot for every vehicle my wife and I have ever owned and this one takes the cake for quality in every aspect. Beautiful welds. Perfect fitment. Ultra high quality powder coat. Absolutely heavy duty 1/4” thick steel! The strongest and easiest bumper I have ever installed! You won’t be disappointed!
The bumper showed up with a couple dings on the box, but the walls of the box were like an inch thick. On top of that the bumper was wrapped in an actual blanket. Not foam, actual cloth. Did not come with instructions, just a QR code to find online, which is normal these days. Taking off the factory bumper took longer than installing the Ghost. All together it took a little over an hour. Can be done alone, but a 2nd set of hands helps. Just needed my son to come down and help wiggle the new bumper so I could get the hard to reach bolts started. The bumper looks fantastic, doesn't jut out too far like some that mount the winch down low do. I would suggest getting the outer 4 bolts to the frame started 1st as they are the most awkward to get to. The inner 4 can be easily accessed from above or below and are easy to see and get a wrench on. Will need some socket extensions, I think a 3" amd am 8" got me where I needed to be between all the bolts. Couldnt get my torque wrench on the outer 4, so just gave them as much as I could with a smaller breaker bar after using the impact. Super easy install, highly recommend.
Questions

Unlike traditional bumpers with front-facing circular holes, the Ghost Stubby utilizes internal mounting brackets located behind the bumper shell.
The "Hidden" Location: The fog lights actually sit recessed inside the bumper and shine through the side-facing "knife-edge" openings or dedicated slots in the wing sections of the bumper.
Bracket System: Fab Fours includes two different sets of brackets in the kit. One set is specifically designed to cradle your factory plastic bumper fog lights (Sport/Sahara), and the other is for aftermarket 3-inch LED pods.
Aesthetics: Because they are recessed, you don't see the light housing from a side profile; you only see the light output through the geometric cutouts in the 3/16" steel.

The Texas Trail trim is based on the Sport S platform, which comes standard with plastic bumper fog lights. The Ghost Stubby is specifically designed with mounting brackets to accommodate these factory lights, as well as the LED versions found on Sahara and Rubicon trims.
