This channel should be called “Jeep Master.” I enjoy the way you fast forward through the straightforward bits and show us in detail the tricky stuff. Also, kudos for painting the tusks you cut. I wondered if you were going to. Yep, went straight to the spray paint! You really know your craft.
Eddie, from all the channels I watch, you have a deep knowledge of off road preparation. Congratulations for your work! I always follow here from Brazil, I live in Belo Horizonte! Cheers!
Mine's showing up today for my JK. I've had the LOD stinger bumper for the last 9 years that you guys used to have on Moby, but am doing a refresh on my JK and needed a change. The quarter pounder has always been one of my favorites. Thanks for the helpful vid as usual!
I was unboxing some parts for my Jeep this past weekend and I told my fiancé that every box I open I now think of Eddie. Luckily we both are subscribed to your channel so no further explanation was necessary. 😜 As always- awesome video and the editing is top notch!
I just barely got done watching the original basic set up and thought it was sweet by itself and here you are already improving on it 10 fold. I like this set up even better. The comprehensive install videos are gonna do wonders when I go to install my own stuff.
Nice looking bumper ! Really your channel has inspired me to save for my dream Jeep and while I save I enjoy learning from your professional instructional videos !
I know this is an old video but I have been watching some of them and enjoying them. You always make it look easy. If I were to do this I would probably make 10 trips to get tools, etc LOL. Thanks for posting. 👍
Port-o-band makes quick work of the frame horns, nice and straight cuts! Now A pice of painters tape on the nuts on your winch hold them in place! My meat sausages would never fit! Great video love the EVO bumper looks nice!
Killer video! Thanks for great overview! Really appreciate the little details and suggestions for how to get the sway bar disconnect out of the way! Awesome looking Jeep after it all!
Thank you, as I had said earlier I did not like the previous arrangement of wench plate bumper. I definitely like the new set up may I wish you happy wheeling in style. Good video also.
Excellent video as always, especially the unboxing bit! One of the other RUclips channels I follow does the same thing and it's always good for a laugh. Glad to see yous adopted it as well. That EVO bumper looks great. They make some awesome looking stuff and the quality seems amazing!
I've been shopping around for bumpers and watching tons of videos. This one does everything I'm looking for. Although it did seem like this is one of the few bumpers that installing the winch ahead of time might've been beneficial.
@@johndoughboy6930 LOL - I make an extremely thorough video on how to install an EVO bumper with a WARN winch but somehow, I'm a "dbag" for not adding "a little context" to a reply I made. Now, allow me to laugh at you while you to sit there and wonder what the answer might be. 👍
Nope. Near impossible to do especially if you're doing this alone. If you're doing this as a new install, it's a lot easier and you won't have the same issues being that there won't be any rope on it.
Excellent. Thanks for the tip. Many videos with other bumpers say that it’s easier to mount a winch first. Nice to know it’s not the same for this application.
@@blakstar64 I've installed a LOT of bumpers over the years and I can't say I've ever found it easier to mount a winch first. The whole idea of doing that just seems stupid to me. Not say that there aren't some bumpers out there that may require it but clearly, I've never dealt with one.
I’m on a pretty strict budget with my JL at the moment but I did something pretty cool I think. Took all the metal out of my stock jl plastics bumper and made my own bumper delete.
I did a sway bar electronic disconnect delete and saved the weight. You can easily install a sway bar link quick disconnect setup, beefed up links. Not much of a hassle. I was thinking Anti-Rock
Sorry, I LOVE the electronic sway bar and HATE the Antirock. Way too soft for on pavement and way too stiff off road. At least, that's what I had found over the years.
Looks awesome! Great video. It’s tough being an automotive engineer obsessed with weight seeing giant solid steel spacers though haha. My OCD would have forced me to water jet some out of aluminum with center areas removed as well. Will you add any bull bars or stingers to this one?
Great video! Do you think it would be easier to mount the winch to the bumper, and then install the bumper? Not sure if the winch blocks access to the bumper bolts?
If I thought it were easier, I would have shown it being installed with it mounted on the bumper first. In the end, you need the winch to move around on the plate to get access to the frame bolts.
Nice Vid. Thanks. I notice you have a significant angle on your swaybar. I was under the impression the front sway bar was basically supposed to be level with the ground, am I misinformed?
Ideally, you want your sway bar arms sitting at about 5° above level. However, we have a tremendous amount of droop due to our coil overs and longer links are needed to prevent hyper-extending the links at a full flex. This is of course because we have a Rubicon and use the e-disco.
Nice install. I really appreciate how you add the little aids that you include that helps eliminate tons of time scratching my head. This bumper is heavy! What is your thought on aluminum bumpers? My Jeep is currently near weight capacity when wheeling. Evo has an Alumilite. Genright makes an ultra high clearance bumpr. What is your thought on the weight vs durability for the front bumper? Thank you for your time.
I don't know what constitutes "near weight capacity" but I can tell you that with 1-ton axles, steel armor and all the gear that I carry in my JK, it's almost 7k lbs in weight and it's been able to take me everywhere and all across the US for 15 years now. That said, nothing wrong with aluminum and if saving weight is your thing, you should consider it.
Thanks for another great install video. This is probably an obvious question, but why not install the winch foot retaining bolts top down setting with the winch rather than from the bottom up? Also, did you torque them to any value?
The nuts in the winch are square and sit in slots that prevent them from rotating. I did not tighten them to a torque spec being that I couldn't get a torque wrench up into the bumper to do so but given the bolt sizes, they should have only needed about 45-50 ft lbs. That's easy to get to by hand.
Just ordered my first Wrangler, a Willys Xtreme Recon! Really like the looks of this. Would cutting the tusks off void warranty? Is there something similar that wouldn’t require that?
Warranties are only voided IF what you're wanting to have covered was affected by the modification you've made. In other words, if you're trying to have your radio replaced under warranty, the tusks being removed would have no bearing on that. Make sense?
got it Eddie, so going back to full stock will not be possible but it doesn’t seem like a big deal, and it looks 647 times better without em. Great video as usual, just wondering if your life would have been easier mounting the winch to the bumper first, then just sliding it on?
Great Video Great video! Any info on bolt size and crush sleeve for the sway bar disconnect motor? think I am going to go this route with my bumper selection.
Ok so just finished up flipping it. It was an all thread 10M - 1.5 x 100mm bolt, also it was 2.25 inches of rolled spacer I used a 3/8 inch 0.75 and 1.5 inch spacers to get to the 2.25.
For the install, do you have to flip the sway bar disconnect? Also, wouldn’t it be easier to bolt the winch to the bumper before installing the bumper? It would be heavier but less hassle. Great video.
No, you do not have to flip the sway bar disconnect. I just chose to because it's a rock target and one that I prefer to minimize. As far as bolting on the winch first goes, I can't see how that could possibly be easier. For one, it would be CRAZY heavier and near impossible to install by yourself. Also, the only reason why I had any issues at all is because I was working with a winch that was already installed. If you're doing a new install, there is no rope on it and everything is easier to access.
Hey Eddie, quick question not sure if its been answered but must the 'tusks' be cut off with the quarter pounder. I know the JK required some cutting but just ordered and was wondering if I should be ready to cut come install time. Thanks!
I like the bumper, but I hate that song you play in the first half of the vid. Seems it’s not as loud as in previous vids, but for goodness sake, it’s just terrible. Keep up the good work, the JL is looking mean. I’m excited to see it out on a trip/trails!
LOL - if everyone liked the same kind of music, there wouldn't be so many genres for people to listen to. Hope you can be willing to work past the ones we use and that you don't like.
Hopefully the EVO powder coating holds up, its been flaking and peeling off on people on various EVO parts/accessories. Otherwise awesome unboxing and install.
I suppose it's just me but I can't say I've had any issues with their powder coating. Of course, you can order their stuff bare steel and have them powder coated at a local shop. I've done this in the past too and the shop I use does an awesome job.
Looks really good Like it more then the last plate. The evo link doesnt seem to work tho. Also assuming this will work with a Sahara...???. Great vids. Glad you make them!
Eddie, I like the look without the stinger but do they make a “low profile” loop to protect the winch just in case? Seems a bit exposed to damage on the controller.
Do you know when this will be available for the JL? After watching your video I went to purchase it but none of the vendors EvoMFG lists have it on their sites yet.
Just got my quarter pounder in today and came to watch the install 🙌
Awesome! Congratulations to you on your new bumper!
This channel should be called “Jeep Master.” I enjoy the way you fast forward through the straightforward bits and show us in detail the tricky stuff. Also, kudos for painting the tusks you cut. I wondered if you were going to. Yep, went straight to the spray paint! You really know your craft.
We'll, we're truly flattered you would say as much and so glad that we can share videos like this with you :)
As a brand new jeep wrangler jl owner, I have found your videos very satisfying. I truly enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Eddie, from all the channels I watch, you have a deep knowledge of off road preparation. Congratulations for your work! I always follow here from Brazil, I live in Belo Horizonte! Cheers!
Truly flattered to hear you say as much and glad that you enjoy our videos. Thank you.
The way you edit the unboxing is very satisfying. Keep up the great work! Jet is really coming along.
LOL - glad you have fun watching it :)
You got to love the unboxing, slamming parts on the table! Yes!
LOL - glad you enjoy it :)
Great video! And kudos to Cindi on her filming and editing!
Thank you. We really do appreciate it :)

So the editing for your unboxing portion is top notch. So smooth 😍
LOL - happy to hear you enjoy some of the fun we have making our videos :)
I just barely got done watching the original basic set up and thought it was sweet by itself and here you are already improving on it 10 fold.
I like this set up even better. The comprehensive install videos are gonna do wonders when I go to install my own stuff.
Awesome, so glad to hear it :)
It really does look dramatically better even if functionally pretty much the same thing
Love the clean look. EVO killed it and you guys did to. 👍👍👍👍
Nice looking bumper ! Really your channel has inspired me to save for my dream Jeep and while I save I enjoy learning from your professional instructional videos !

Would love to have a Port-o-band 👍
Your videos are keeping me Sane in covid-19
So glad to hear we've been of help to you :)
Those wheel spacers really changed the look and stance of the Jeep.. 🧢 off to you guys for the awesome channel!!! Thank you
Thank you. We're so glad that you've been enjoying our videos :)
Thanks for the great video. I found that a 15mm crows foot works very well for the rear passenger winch bolt.
Good idea with putting bolts in backwards. I am excited for your new videos . Keep up the good work🤟!
Looks good Eddie. just the basics is all you need. Evo makes some great products
That's how we feel about it :)
The unboxing edit is great and so funny,I love it. Good improve for Jet. Well done Eddie👍.
LOL - thanks, we try to have some fun and happy to know there are people like you who appreciate it :)
Really like the look of your Jeep and the quality of your work on the véhicule and on the video.. Tks.
Thank you :)
Killer video! Thanks for great overview! Really appreciate the little details and suggestions for how to get the sway bar disconnect out of the way! Awesome looking Jeep after it all!
Awesome! Glad you found our video to be helpful :)
That was another great install video! Thank you for taking the time to share a detailed, quality video....you guys are the best👍👍👍
So glad to hear you found the video to be helpful :)
Peanut butter and jelly every time I watch a video of yours!
LOL - glad you enjoy them :)
Thank you, as I had said earlier I did not like the previous arrangement of wench plate bumper. I definitely like the new set up may I wish you happy wheeling in style. Good video also.
Happy to hear you like what you're seeing now.
Looks Bad Ass Loving the Stubby Beef look.
Another clean install! Have to say it, totally jealous of your garage!! Lol!!! So cool.
LOL - thanks. Took me years to finally get it :)
This is exactly what I want to put on the 2024 2dr Willys I'm about to pull the trigger on - simple and useful, less crap in the way.
Glad we could share this with you 😎
Sweet bumper, guys! Another great video!!
That unboxing was.......AMAZING!!
😂😂😂😂
LOL - Happy to hear you enjoy the fun we have with it :)
Excellent video as always, especially the unboxing bit! One of the other RUclips channels I follow does the same thing and it's always good for a laugh. Glad to see yous adopted it as well. That EVO bumper looks great. They make some awesome looking stuff and the quality seems amazing!
LOL - so glad you enjoy our videos :)
Looks great we love that look and the EVO bumper too!!! 👍🍻
Awesome, glad you approve :)
Nice install, good looking bumper, better than my Rubicon steel bumper I bought for my Rubicon EU-version in The Netherlands. Best regards, 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸✌️👍💪
Your content is always really good.
Glad you think so! Thank you.
A great addition. I must say the overall finish is nice but it’s EVO so it’s what you’d expect from a good quality product
LOL - indeed. :)
Love the no Tusk look, it looks very stout and clean cut, just like your haircut Eddie 😁
LOL - too funny :)
Great video once again guys. Your Jeep looks great!!!
Thank you, so glad you like what you see :)

Awesome! Glad the video helped :)
Looks great brother👍🏼
Thanks 👍
This inspired me to get the same bumper for my jl. Thanks for the video
Glad I could help
Love the way you guys edit the unboxings, gets me every time, Lmao 🤣
LOL - glad to hear it :)
Looks sick , you can’t go wrong with evo
This is true :)
Looks great! Love the super clean and functional look!
Awesome! Glad you like what you see :)
I like your videos, you’re very thorough
Thank you, we really do appreciate it :)
Nice Video, again. Keep up the awesome work.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Safety Always Brother!
I have the evo bumper and stinger on my JL. And I love it!!
Awesome :)
Me likey! It’s such a bad ars man! Enjoy & be safe always my brother
Awesome, thank you :)
Do you think it might have been better to mount the winch to the bumper first? Very curious about that.
rich swanson no because you wouldnt be able to get to the two inner frame bolts on each side
Nope. Near impossible to do especially if you're doing this alone. If you're doing this as a new install, it's a lot easier and you won't have the same issues being that there won't be any rope on it.

Great video brother. There’s always going to be nuts and bolts the ms is going to have to start for you lol. Team work👍🏻
LOL - Team work is what it's all about :)
Team work makes the dream work. So corny but also true lol
I’m on a pretty strict budget with my JL at the moment but I did something pretty cool I think. Took all the metal out of my stock jl plastics bumper and made my own bumper delete.
Would you mind telling me the type and size of hardware you used for the motor flip? Does that come with the bumper or is this extra?
I did a sway bar electronic disconnect delete and saved the weight. You can easily install a sway bar link quick disconnect setup, beefed up links. Not much of a hassle. I was thinking Anti-Rock

Quarter Pounder, "I'm lovin' it," clever. ;)
Sweet looks awesome, similar but just that much tidier
Tidier is what I would call it :)
Outstanding! Thank You Sir.
Glad you liked it!
Ha, Eddie looks like a Japanese grill chef opening those boxes xD
LOL - now that's funny. I'll have to learn how to do knife tricks :)
Jeep needs to make the same model but as a EV ! it would be brilliant , and environmentally good and make jeep look good in the public eye .
Love the vids thank you for giving me something to watch
Glad you could enjoy watching them :)
Awesome outstanding job performance good
thanks
Very clean look. 👌
Just what you need and nothing else :)
tnew bumper looks great
Glad you like it :)

Hi Eddie, what is the bolt specs (size, length and sleeve length) for the sway bar motor flip? Thank you
Looks great
Thank you :)

Very nice
If you flat tow the jeep can you use the D-Rilng brackets for the attachment point for a tow bar?
I don't think so. But, there are kits out there that can use the mounts.
Some buytel or strip caulk (dum dum) will hold the nuts in the winch, I do this on everyone I install, for this trick years ago and works great.
Thanks for the tip. I actually just used some tape on the other side but forgot to film it.
Thanks for another great install video. This is probably an obvious question, but why not install the winch foot retaining bolts top down setting with the winch rather than from the bottom up? Also, did you torque them to any value?

Awesome, so glad you liked it :)
Another great video Eddie! Love the minimalist look. I can't seem to find your video on mounting the air compressor. Any chance you could post a link?
Actually, we don't have a video on it yet. Coming very soon though.
Just ordered my first Wrangler, a Willys Xtreme Recon! Really like the looks of this. Would cutting the tusks off void warranty? Is there something similar that wouldn’t require that?
Warranties are only voided IF what you're wanting to have covered was affected by the modification you've made. In other words, if you're trying to have your radio replaced under warranty, the tusks being removed would have no bearing on that. Make sense?
Nice and clean i like it!
Thanks! Glad you like what you see :)
Great instructional video as always. Would you mind sharing your preferences on the size of the synthetic winch line to use? That appears to be 1/2".
We're running the synthetic line that comes with the ZEON 10s and it's just 3/8".
Are those tusks required for anything factory? Curious if someone wanted to go back to stock, would they need those tusks for anything to be mounted??
Factory skid
@HivePhoto They are used for the factory air dam on Sport and Sahara's and used to secure the front skid on a Rubicon.
got it Eddie, so going back to full stock will not be possible but it doesn’t seem like a big deal, and it looks 647 times better without em. Great video as usual, just wondering if your life would have been easier mounting the winch to the bumper first, then just sliding it on?
I see Moby was hanging around as well. Big brother over seeing the operation or just there to keep little brother calm?
LOL - there to make sure we did things right :)
Great Video
Great video! Any info on bolt size and crush sleeve for the sway bar disconnect motor? think I am going to go this route with my bumper selection.
Sorry, I don't know for sure but if I recall, it only came in one size.
Ok so just finished up flipping it. It was an all thread 10M - 1.5 x 100mm bolt, also it was 2.25 inches of rolled spacer I used a 3/8 inch 0.75 and 1.5 inch spacers to get to the 2.25.
Nice! The weight would make it tough, but could you mount the winch to the bumper first, then mount the assembly to the Jeep?
No. You would NOT be able to secure the bolts on the inside of the frame rails with the winch in place.
For the install, do you have to flip the sway bar disconnect? Also, wouldn’t it be easier to bolt the winch to the bumper before installing the bumper? It would be heavier but less hassle. Great video.
No, you do not have to flip the sway bar disconnect. I just chose to because it's a rock target and one that I prefer to minimize. As far as bolting on the winch first goes, I can't see how that could possibly be easier. For one, it would be CRAZY heavier and near impossible to install by yourself. Also, the only reason why I had any issues at all is because I was working with a winch that was already installed. If you're doing a new install, there is no rope on it and everything is easier to access.
I should also note that it'd be impossible to tighten up the bolts securing the bumper to the frame horns with the winch in the way.
Hi eddie, so no need winch plate?
The winch mounted on bumper?
Thx sorry I’m new lol great video btw nice and clean look love it.
The winch plate is built into this bumper. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Hey Eddie, quick question not sure if its been answered but must the 'tusks' be cut off with the quarter pounder. I know the JK required some cutting but just ordered and was wondering if I should be ready to cut come install time.
Thanks!
Yes, you must cut them off in order to install the Quarter Pounder.
I like the bumper, but I hate that song you play in the first half of the vid. Seems it’s not as loud as in previous vids, but for goodness sake, it’s just terrible.
Keep up the good work, the JL is looking mean. I’m excited to see it out on a trip/trails!
LOL - if everyone liked the same kind of music, there wouldn't be so many genres for people to listen to. Hope you can be willing to work past the ones we use and that you don't like.
Interested in selling your old winch plate? Assuming it cooperates with the factory steel bumper.
Hopefully the EVO powder coating holds up, its been flaking and peeling off on people on various EVO parts/accessories. Otherwise awesome unboxing and install.
I suppose it's just me but I can't say I've had any issues with their powder coating. Of course, you can order their stuff bare steel and have them powder coated at a local shop. I've done this in the past too and the shop I use does an awesome job.
Great video... can you really just flip the disconnect motor that easily??? Are there any cons to doing that? That is such a good idea...
Depending on what bumper you're running and or if you have a winch, it can be difficult if not impossible to do.
Looks really good
Like it more then the last plate. The evo link doesnt seem to work tho. Also assuming this will work with a Sahara...???.
Great vids. Glad you make them!
That's odd. I'll have to give it a look. And yes, it'll work on any JL or even JK for that matter. Happy to hear you enjoy our videos.
Although I liked 1st bumper u I stalled better I like this much better then just the winch mount setup
That's the beauty of Jeeps, you can build them up however you want :)
I like your chanel!
Thank you :)
Do you recall what size bolt and what size crush sleeve you used ?
Eddie, I like the look without the stinger but do they make a “low profile” loop to protect the winch just in case? Seems a bit exposed to damage on the controller.
They don't or at least, not as of now but if they were to come out with one, I wouldn't mind having one.
Do you know when this will be available for the JL? After watching your video I went to purchase it but none of the vendors EvoMFG lists have it on their sites yet.
do you have any aux lighting plans for her?
Rock lights for sure but that might be it. The new LED head lights on the JL are super bright and so far, I haven't felt the need for anything more.
I just watched your install as a guide for mine and it was very helpful, but did you have long enough bolts? Mine are short with the three spacers.
Yeah, my bolts were long enough. I wonder if maybe you got bolts for a JK.
Maybe, I will contact evo and find out.
