Construction & Design:

The Rigid Shorty Front Bumper is expertly crafted from 10-gauge steel, offering a robust and resilient structure capable of withstanding demanding off-road conditions. Its design follows the factory body lines closely, ensuring a seamless fit and a clean, integrated look with the stock fender flares. The bumper’s winch plate is precision-engineered from 1/4 inch steel, featuring two sets of mounting holes to accommodate a wide range of winch models without compromising airflow to the radiator.

To protect against corrosion and wear, the bumper undergoes an acid etching process before receiving a textured black powder coat finish. This advanced coating method ensures a durable surface that resists chipping, fading, and rust, maintaining the bumper’s appearance and performance over time.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward and user-friendly, utilizing existing factory mounting points to eliminate the need for drilling or permanent modifications. This ensures a secure fit while preserving the integrity of your Jeep’s frame. The bumper fits both 2-door and 4-door Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 through 2018.

Note that for Jeep models from 2012 to 2018, the EVAP canister was relocated to the frame rail below the bumper, which may interfere with installation. In these cases, the Rock Slide Engineering EVAP Relocation Kit (AC-CRL-100) is required to ensure proper fitment and clearance.
