I replaced the plastic bumper on my Mojave with a metal Rubicon bumper. I love it. Swapping out the orange bumper hooks on the Mojave for the red ones on the metal bumper was a real pain until I figured out how to get those thin clip/nuts off. I also had to trim up the metal skit plate which comes on the Mojave. I think the bumper swap made a huge improvement on the looks of my JT. Don’t be scared off by the price. I think you’ll be happy with one.
I like the look of the Rubicon bumper as well as being able to install a winch. I would hope I could find a much better price from someone replacing their Rubicon bumper with an aftermarket bumper.
🌟Big Tip:🌟 remove your grill, then remove that plastic piece you drill out. MUCH better access to the inside bumper bolts. The driver side still SUCKS but it's a little easier.
Hello, thanks for the video. Please advise the weight differences. Can you also advise if I have Sahara and if I changed to steel will this add lot of weight to the front? please highlight this ASAP if possible 🙏
The weight of this bumper fully shipped is about 30lbs. The factory plastic front bumper is about the same because of the tow hooks and inner steel frame. You wouldn't be adding much weight at all when switching to this front bumper!
Thanks a million for your support, indeed, I fixed the steel rubicon front bumper, I measured the height of the car with the plastic bumper the with the steel bumper, I lost only 2mm of clearance which is negligible according to my limited knowledge.
If my plastic bumper comes with halogen and my new steel has the led fog lights am I able to just plug the wires from the halogen to my led fogs with no problem?
You're definitely correct! There's a bunch of different options out there! But if the Mopar Rubicon Steel Bumper is what you're looking for, we offer it! Thank you for watching! - Zach
I'm not usually one to bitch about pricing but the $1055 asking price is absolutely ridiculous, especially considering it doesn't come with a winch mount or skid plate. I like this piece, but will gladly get any one of the bazillion other options that are half that cost (and include a winch mount).
Thanks for watching. Michel! Our Sahara is actually all-stock outside of the wheels and tires. It's riding on 285/70R17 wrapped around17x9 Mammoth D Window Steel Wheels!

Aftermarket front bumpers (and winches) of any kind will likely do that, regardless of installing one on a Rubicon, Sahara, or Sport. You're adding extra weight to the front of your Jeep. That being said it, its not hurting anything. Most people choose to install a 3/4" spacer after to keep the front of their Jeep level. -Zach
Rubicons did not come standard with metal bumpers or Leds. These are both separate packages to buy. Metal bumper package is around $2000 extra and led lighting is close to $1500 extra.
I purchased my 2022 Rubicon with the led package but not the metal bumper. I upgraded only the front metal bumper after purchase. I personally don't see the need for the metal rear bumper. Saved a few dollars doing it this way
@@justinkrzynowek9166 I wound up putting LED’s in every single receptacle. Bumpers, winch, tires, wheels, kings, entire front end (steer smarts) exhaust etc. Looks and performs great. Just cost a fortune to do it
He does state it comes with LED fog lights but the site listed states the bumper does not come with lights or hooks. Disappointing, either way since it’s conflicted information which leads to mistrust.

11:04 - what’s the torque value for those nuts? The ones that secure the bumper to the frame.
Great video as always from Extreme Terrain. Please wear eye protection when under the Jeep on a creeper!!
Thanks for watching!!
Looks a lot better but The back side of the fog lights are now exposed?
🌟Big Tip:🌟 remove your grill, then remove that plastic piece you drill out. MUCH better access to the inside bumper bolts. The driver side still SUCKS but it's a little easier.
You still.have to buy a winch plate for a winch to mount on that bumper.
no skid plate?
Is there a reason you didn’t reinstall the splash guard? Is the plastic splash guard not compatible with the steel bumper?
Im wondering the same thing
@@SDguitarplayer858 Turns out the plastic Air Dam is NOT compatible with the Steel OEM bumper.
how to put a license plate on this if you have a winch?

Depends on the light, but most of the time yes!
You got me at 1000 definitely cheaper bumpers out their.

I believe you can get it cheaper online.
I got the knockoff for 430 shipped and had it powder coated to match my gladiator
Thank you so much for this helpful video!
Quick question: Are there no front parking sensors for this bumper??
Thank you so much for watching, John! This front bumper does *not* come equipped with or come pre-drilled for parking sensors. -Zach
Can this be installed without the power tools?
I installed one with just hand tools, but I was wishing I had an impact wrench for those main nuts.
Will it effect the sensors on the front??
Did he say, Robicon?

Nice video, whats the set up on that sahara? Lift? Offset tires?

Mine did not come with the wiring harness. Just the pig tails and a connector from each fog light. Can you please tell me the wiring harness number.
Pull it out of your old bumper, they are the same.
Is this only for rubicon? Can I put this on my 2018 jeep jl sport?
You *can absolutely* install this on your Sport! -Zach
I bought one for mine European Rubicon.... 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸👍✌️
Where the link please im searching that same european rubicon bumper for jeep jl 2020
Do I need to buy the steel skid plate ? Or do people usually take that off anyway. Thanks
have you figure out ? im buying the steel bumper and wonder if the plastic skid would fit or not
Both the winch mount and skid plate are purchased separately
9:43
Do you need adapter or spacer
Nope! All parts needed to have this bumper installed on your JL are included in this kit! -Zach
What size tires are those?
These are a 33" tire on a stock non lifted JL.
Can it be too heavy for jeep Sahara
Not at all! This will do just fine on a Sahara. -Zach
I just added to my jeep yesterday steel bumper and winch and suspension has went down in the front It’s a Rubicon front bumper.

can i flat tow behind an rv with this steel bumper?
Of course. Depending on your flat tow solution you may need to cut the bumper though.
GOOD DAY. THANKS FOR VIDEO.
HOW DO I CONTACT YOU?
Thank you for watching! You can give us a call at 1-877-870-8556 or by email at support@extremeterrain.com! -Zach
Will it fit a '16 jk?
nick ikslatam yeah I’ve heard most Jl bumpers fit Jks
It should. There's a video by CJ Pony Parts where they see what JL parts fit on a JK.
Yes, this is the same bumper that came on my '13 jkur 10th anniversary. This bumper is known as the "freedom/10th anniversary" rubicon bumper.
My 2020 Rubicon has incandescent bulbs in the headlights and bumper...WTF

@@EODHammer Yeah I did that with my previous Jeep TJ then quickly learned adding leds costs alot of money to do it right and adds up quick lol
How can I add a Nilight 20" light bar to this bumper?
The plug and play doesn’t work with the European bumpers........, wrong connector !!!!!!! ☹️
What was the 16mm socket used for?
Does this fit on a JK?
Can i but my halogen fog light on the steel bumper , i have a 2018 jl sport
Abdullah Andejani comes with LED. Plug n play... as stated in the video
He does state it comes with LED fog lights but the site listed states the bumper does not come with lights or hooks. Disappointing, either way since it’s conflicted information which leads to mistrust.
SHOW ME THE STUBBY!!
