1" thick recovery tabs welded front and back
1/4" thick plate aluminum construction
Integrated electronic sway bar disconnect motor / crash bar skid plate

Components
Integrated into every Rock Hard 4x4™ front bumper is a tapered down and back section of 1/4" aluminum to protect your expensive and vulnerable Sway Bar Disconnect motor and crash bar.


Fits virtually all Jeep Wrangler JK factory fog lights. 4" diameter early HardRock edition LED fog lights not compatible. Laser cut into the bottom skin of our front bumper are Hi-Lift jack recovery/lift points.

FAQ:
What winches fit this bumper?
All popular winches, including the best selling WARN™ VR™ and Zeon™ series, fit our bumpers. In fact, if you don't have a winch selected yet, Rock Hard 4x4™ is an authorized WARN™ winch distributor. We can add any WARN™ winch you like to your pallet and you wouldn't pay any additional shipping. This ensures your entire upgrade arrives at the same time which speeds up install and gets you on the trail sooner! If you'd like to take a look at some of our favorite WARN™ winches we have in stock, please visit www.rockhard4x4.com/warn.

WARN Zeon PowerPlant Winch

What do I need to flat tow my Wrangler?
If you have a Reese™, Blue-Ox™, or Road Master™ tow bar bracket we have the ultimate accessory for you. Because of our unique mounting method, you can simply bolt on the following mounts to our front bumper and have a perfect fitting adapter.
RH-8000-RS - Reese tow bar bracket kit
RH-8000-BO - Blue-Ox tow bar bracket kit
RH-8000- RM - Road Master tow bar bracket kit

What winches are compatible with our front bumpers?
Virtually all winches are compatible with our front bumpers. Like all our lowered winch plate bumpers the Warn™ PowerPlant™ and some Zeon™ winches require minor trimming on your frame horn. This can be done in seconds with a grinder or saw. Trimming is required on the driver side inner frame horn. When installing the bumper, use the supplied shorter bolt on the upper, inner hole.



I have a 2012 or newer Wrangler JK. Do I have to relocate my vacuum pump?
Yes. This his a very simple modification that can be made with our RH-5011 Vacuum Pump Relocation Bracket.

They beat the delivery date, great communications, which allowed me to flat tow this trip. Easy install but read the instructions first!

Reviewer: 2014 jk winch and bumper install from PA United States  
Extremely happy with this bumper! The look , finish, construction, functionality, weight, were exactly what i wanted. Install of the bumper, winch and fog lights was 4 hours by myself and easy. I did install j2 fog lights the week before and so with the connection adapter the wiring was long enough for relocation in the new bumper. Factory fog lights will need a harness extension.  In addition id like to say rock hard should maybe add a video to support the claim that a high-lift jack will lift this bumper using the cutouts. I dont see how this can be done but at the moment i do not have a high lift jack. I lost one of the 1/2 inch spacers and will need to reinstall with the new ones they are sending (free!) but it works in the meantime. Customer service is great as well. This bumper is very expensive but i wouldnt go any other way. With weeks of searching i could not find another bumper that fit all of my needs so well. It is absolutely worth the wait!

5 of 5 Did ton of research, choose this and am very happy January 11, 2021
Reviewer: GS from stateside for a while  
I went full OCD on choosing a new bumper to go with my new winch. Researched all the forums. Pestered several companies about specs, fitment. I am so glad I went with Rock Hard's aluminum. Design, engineering, build and finish quality are truly first class. The spacer system allows you to adjust position during mounting to close as you feel comfortable with your winch and cables. Support was great, both with my questions before purchase and Rock Hard's immediate shipment of hardware when I notified them shipping company had crushed the end of the box opening it and losing my hardware.
