So I have to give a big thank you to 5150 guys. They did a wonderful job on my jeep. I had shoulder replacement surgery and wasn't really healed. So when they showed up I called Patrick up and told him what I needed done. I met him when he was a Freshman in my first year of teaching wood shop. I believe Patrick was with me all four years of High School. We were interested in the same things Cherokee's. I did let EAG know about the videos they were excited, they have people calling them about a video for the installation all the time. The young Lady took down the info on where to find them on RUclips so she can give them out. Thank You guys again wonderful work and they look great!!
If you don't mind me asking, how far does the lower part of the bumper go compared to the front crossmember that connects the frame rails (big center piece of metal with the two big ovals cut into it)? I'm looking to install a BIG transmission cooler and need to cut that crossmember underneath and extend it down about 2-3 inches. Hoping the EAG bumper will still cover that. Thanks in advance!
Has this bumper ever had any shortcomings on strength? I love the look and price of it but I’m always scared that if someone tries to pull me it might just get ripped off
Hi CJ, This bumber is built very strong, all 3/16 steel. The week point is the XJ frame we’re the bumber mounts. We added bumper tie in brackets and xtra reinforcement to help make it stronger. Thanks for watching.
Most bumpers do not come with them, but we used C-ROK XJ Frams stiffeners to tie into the XJ. you can see them at 9:00 minutes into the video. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video, I am about to buy this bumper and install it myself. Do you know if the lights ever started working? I always worry about putting electronics on an old jeep (mine is a 94) and it glitching out and not working correctly.
I'm the friend the guys from 5150 installed the bumpers for. I finally called about the lights. They were really nice. The young lady that worked with me explained they usually only give 30 days on the lights. I told I was a dummy and she said she would go ahead and send them out today.
@@5150MotorSports Was there a specific part number for the bracket and would you happen to remember the cost? A link to the item would be great if possible. Thanks
Hi Jerry, C-Rock now offer 2 kits, left and right reinforcing kits, minimum I would do drivers since the steering box mounts to that plate and if you have the budget I go with both left and right this will reinforce the front bumper also.

Christopher Spencer we don’t have the Jeep here as it was a friend of ours, when I see it again I’ll take a measurement. My guess would be around 10-12”.

Hello. After removing the stock bumper, what is the estimated installation time, including electrical assembly???, thank you.
Thanks for watching, a couple of hours…
Do a vedio of installing that eag bumper on 2000 grand cherokee
how do you connect the lights???
Quick question where did you re-locate the "plastic ball" off the bumper ??
Passenger side fender well, We used a couple of sheet metal screws.
how is this bumper holding up?
Did you have plenty of play in the bumper mounting bracket with the extra steering box brace you put in?
Hi Alex,
The bumber fit snug with the extra steering brace, but not to tight.
Thanks for watching.,.
Do the leds come with a switch for the lights or do I need to buy a light panel?
The lights and switch came with the bumper.. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, not sure if they started working as this Jeep is a friend of ours. I believe they we going to call the manufacture for a replacement lights.

How far out from the grill does the bumper go?

@@5150MotorSports
Oh ok. I appreciate you getting back to me anyway. I've been trying to figure this out for a few months now
Hi Christopher the bumper is 8 1/2 inches but the brush bar and the D- ring mounts are 10 1/2 inches out from the grill.
@@mikedavis7007
Hey I appreciate you getting back to me. Thank you so much
No problem sorry it took so long.
How is it holding up and have you actually used it hard????
Holding up great, no issues.
Can you jump up and down on it sturdy or Chinese junk
Bumper is very stout!!!
