JL bumper question

RockinAZJK said:

My Dad called me this evening with a couple questions, and being that I don’t own a JL they stumped me.

On the Rubicon plastic front bumpers: do they still have the front and top pieces that pop out so you can put a winch in it?

As for the rear, does anyone make a bumper tire carrier combo that has provisions for the backup sensors?

The plastic front doesn't have knockouts like the steel version, but all you'd have to do is cut it out & grab a winch plate. Can't answer the rear sensor question. There doesn't seem to be a ton of options I've seen that have an integrated tire carrier, but then again I haven't looked that hard either.

DV8 makes rear bumper with carrier and it will accommodate the sensors however I don’t know much about the brand and the price point is around $1300. There are other options if you get the bumper and tailgate tire carrier separately.

Check out LOD can’t go wrong with them.

there's a thread on here where a the member cut the plastic bumper for a winch, I plan to do the same thing.

Mopar and Warn winch plates seem to be of similar design to allow cutting the bumper.

About the rear bumper/tire carrier, I recommend LOD Destroyer. It has holes for the sensors.
