Construction & Design:

The Shorty Front Bumper is crafted from robust 10-gauge steel, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of off-road use while providing excellent protection to the front end of your Jeep. The integrated winch plate is fabricated from 1/4 inch steel, engineered not only for strength but also to maintain proper airflow to the radiator, which is critical for engine cooling during intense driving conditions.

The bumper’s design respects the Jeep’s factory aesthetics by following the original body lines and aligning perfectly with stock fender flares. This attention to detail results in a clean, factory-like appearance that enhances the vehicle’s overall look. The textured black powder coat finish is applied after acid etching the raw steel, ensuring superior adhesion and a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that holds up against the elements.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward and user-friendly, requiring no drilling thanks to the bumper’s use of factory mounting points. This ensures a secure fit while maintaining the structural integrity of your Jeep. The process typically takes around two hours and includes all necessary mounting hardware. The bumper fits both 2-door and 4-door Jeep Wrangler JL models from 2018 through 2022. Please note that this bumper is not compatible with Fisher plow frames.
