Ask us anything



Q Trevor Stewart • 05/12/2020, 10:09:09 AM Does this bumper work with Bushwhacker Flat top fender flares? Also where do you guys recomend putting a front license plate or is there some sort of bracket you can get?
A 05/15/2020, 2:12:13 PM Yes it will work great with those. We recommend a hinged fairlead license plate mount for a front plate.
Q Dallas • 06/28/2020, 9:22:43 AM Does this bumper come with a fair lead. Or do I have to by it separately.
A 07/07/2020, 2:27:46 PM You would have to buy that separately.
Q Andrew Work • 07/06/2020, 11:03:19 AM does the unibody tie in kit that goes with this bumper sold with a power steering pump spacer or is it sold separately from the kit that that the bumper comes with?
A 07/07/2020, 2:02:44 PM Yes, it includes the full UNF kit: XJUNF-PC (ttps://www.jcroffroad.com/product/XJUNF-PC.html)
Q Thomas • 08/04/2020, 1:17:45 PM Once mounted, can you still get up under the bumper to install the optional 3x3 cube lights, or would I need to remove the bumper to install them at a later time? Same question for the Vanguard rear bumper too. Trying to determine if its best to save up and do it all at once.
A 08/05/2020, 12:41:14 PM You can get to the cubes with the bumper installed, yes.
Q Ryan • 09/03/2020, 8:28:23 AM Can you install a winch after the bumper has already been installed ?
A 09/09/2020, 1:49:58 PM Yes.
Q Jason Lawrence • 09/22/2020, 5:38:37 PM Can I flat tow off the shackle tabs if I'm using the frame-tie in brackets?
A 09/24/2020, 10:28:08 AM We've had many customers do this with no issues.
Q Spencer • 02/18/2021, 0:16:26 AM What is the bill bar tubing diameter
A 03/01/2021, 2:33:46 PM 1.75"
Q malcolm • 02/26/2021, 11:42:49 AM I have the smittybilt front bumper. Will the PreRunner tube fit on the SmittyBilt xrc bumper?
A 03/01/2021, 2:42:00 PM Maybe if you drill for it. We have not tested this.
Q Malcolm • 02/26/2021, 12:07:38 PM I have a smittybilt front bumper. Will the Bull Bar tube work fit on the smittybilt bumper, and do you sell just the Bull Bar tube work separately?
A 03/01/2021, 2:42:00 PM Maybe if you drill for it. We have not tested this.
Q James Shubert • 04/09/2021, 2:13:55 PM I have a 96' XJ and I will need to cut the flares, what type of flares are pictured above?
A 04/12/2021, 3:17:40 PM They are from Notch Customs
Q Austin Hurlbert • 05/06/2021, 12:02:26 PM I have stiffeners in the front of my 92 as well as a steering brace. Pretty sure that the brace wont be an issues but will the extra thickness (3/16" per side) from the stiffeners create fitment issues with the bumpers and ties ins?
A 05/12/2021, 1:41:43 PM Yes they could be an issue, but you may be able to do the install by leaving our out steering box tie-ins. As long as you stiffeners go all the way to the front bumper mounts and offer strength in that area. Our bumpers are designed to fit over our .188" UNF brackets, so leaving them out will leave that room for your stiffeners.
Q Mike • 05/11/2021, 5:09:51 PM Will this front bumper work with the Currie RockJock Anti-Rock Swaybar?
A 05/12/2021, 1:41:43 PM If the rockjock uses the stock sway bar bushing bracket holes in the frame it will work fine.
Q Kyle White • 07/20/2021, 9:32:06 PM What is the total weight of this bumper with the bull bar installed?
A 07/23/2021, 10:31:57 AM About 100 lbs
Q Spencer • 07/26/2021, 5:26:53 PM Does the vanguard XJ front winch bumper hold the warm zeon platinum 12k synthetic with possibly good air flow
A 08/12/2021, 2:32:10 PM Yes the winch will fit, we don't have issues with the Zeon and airflow on our shop XJ.
Q Josh Pinkham • 08/29/2021, 2:08:42 PM Will it fit a RC 9500 winch?
A 09/02/2021, 10:07:16 AM Yes
Q Rick • 09/24/2021, 5:46:34 PM In order to mount the fair-lead to the bumper, there appears to be an additional bracket that fills the whole? i've found fairleads are all 10" from hole to hole and the bumper is 12" from hole to hole. in fact you can zoom in on you photos and see there is something else bolted into the bumper that the fairlead is then bolted to, what is that part?
A 10/05/2021, 5:07:50 PM That part is included with all of our winch bumpers. It allows you to center the fairlead on centered or offset winches.
Q Duncan Moody • 10/18/2021, 10:00:42 PM Does this also fit a 1989 Comanche Pioneer? If so, is it still bolt-on?
A 10/28/2021, 11:13:00 AM It fits the Comanche, yes. You would need to trim your front fenders flat however. See step 5 in the install document.
Q Tyler • 11/10/2021, 10:07:59 PM Will this bumper just fit warn or can it fit other manufacturers winches as well? As long as they sill have the same mounting pattern. Such as iron rock 4x4 monster winch. It has a much smaller profile then the warn winches.
A 12/07/2021, 5:40:26 PM Yes, as long as the mounting pattern is the same and the body of the winch is not larger than the Warn.
Q Dakota baker • 01/09/2022, 3:54:27 AM I bought this bumper and the tie ins to the frame are. Missing the holes for the steering box what should I do I can't seem to get it to bolt up right

Buy Once, Cry Once
(Ohio) | June 26th, 2024
Is this the most affordable bumper on the market? Certainly not. Is it the lightest? Not even close. Do you probably need it? Questionable. Will this bumper still be left looking brand new after you run out of talent on a 9 rated trail and total the rest of your Jeep? More than likely. Just buy it. This bumper is the most structurally sound part of any XJ it’s bolted to. You’re more likely to have your unibody separate into multiple pieces than to ever do any appreciable damage to this thing. When I was cutting my fenders for my Notch flares, I got the cutoff wheel a bit too close to the bumper and the bumper won. 10/10 would buy again.
Best Heckin bumper around
(Pennsylvania) | March 4th, 2021
This bumper is hands down the best fit and finish for any xj bumper that I have installed. Ordering- straight forward online very simple. Shipping- a little slow it took me 3 months to receive my bumper but this was during the COVID pandemic as well as black friday so it is to be expected. Directions- if ya need em you shouldn't be putting a bumper on. Haha jk I did not receive directions except for the videos on the website. Install-. Super straight forward. Very complete with everything you need for a sturdy yank point, unlike some other projectile bumpers on the market 🙄 Overall thoughts- this bumper is high and tight for the best approach angle. This also fits a 12k winch perfectly close to the body low in the bumper to pull you up and out. If you are questioning the purchase of this bumper you will not regret it!
Awesome
(Utah) | February 24th, 2021
I truly believe this is the best XJ bumper you can buy. I have used it for winching and it holds up well, no bending. It keeps an awesome approach angle for having a winch.
Look no further!!
(So.California) | November 5th, 2020
If you want a good quality bumper with a good quality mounting bracket, look no further!! Easy to mount, easy to follow instructions, and easy wheeling with this bumper, I got the pre runner bar and got this bumper in bare metal, I raptor lined the whole bumper myself with minimal issues.
Best bumper ever!!!
(Arizona) | March 23rd, 2020
This is in my opinion the best looking bumper for the jeep xj period. This bumpers finish was incredible and it was such a light but sturdy bumper. Install was a price of cake with instruction and common knowledge of the car. Money well spent.
