Overview

The Rampage Recovery Bumper Stubby Front is a rugged, purpose-built front bumper designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler JK and JL models from 2007 through 2026, as well as Jeep Gladiator models from 2020 to 2023. Crafted for off-road enthusiasts and recovery situations, this bumper provides essential protection and functionality without compromising vehicle maneuverability.

Key Features

Engineered for durability and off-road performance, the Rampage Recovery Bumper Stubby Front includes several key features:

• Constructed with 2-inch by 0.120-inch wall tubing for the center stinger, providing robust impact resistance
• Side protectors made from 1.5-inch by 0.120-inch tubing to shield vulnerable areas
• Tapered ends designed to improve tire clearance and maintain extreme approach and departure angles
• Compatible with most winches to facilitate vehicle recovery; mounting plate not included
• Matte black finish for a sleek, aggressive look that complements Jeep styling
• Stubby design reduces overall bumper length, enhancing off-road maneuverability
• Fits a wide range of Jeep Wrangler engines including 2.0L Turbo, 3.6L V6, 3.8L V6, 6.4L 392 HEMI, and 3.0L EcoDiesel variants
• Also compatible with Jeep Gladiator models equipped with 3.6L V6 and 3.0L EcoDiesel engines

Construction & Design

The Rampage Recovery Bumper Stubby Front is built from heavy-duty steel tubing, ensuring exceptional strength and durability in demanding off-road conditions. The 2-inch diameter tubing with a 0.120-inch wall thickness at the center stinger offers a solid barrier against impacts, while the 1.5-inch side protectors add an extra layer of defense to the vehicle’s front corners.

The tapered ends are thoughtfully engineered to maximize tire travel and maintain critical approach and departure angles, allowing your Jeep to tackle steep obstacles without the bumper interfering. The black powder-coated finish not only provides corrosion resistance but also delivers a rugged aesthetic that complements the aggressive styling of Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for Jeep Wrangler JK and JL models from 2007 to 2026 and Jeep Gladiator models from 2020 to 2023, this bumper installs with minimal modifications. While the bumper accepts most winches, the mounting plate is not included and must be purchased separately to complete your winch setup.

Installation requires basic hand tools and mechanical knowledge. Professional installation is recommended for optimal fit and function, especially when integrating a winch or additional accessories.
