Description
Designed for Off-Road. If your 2007-2018 JK spends most of its time off-road, you should upgrade the stock bumper to a Barricade Off-Road Battalion Stubby Front Bumper. This Stubby Bumper won’t block your front wheels when approaching steep inclines or when negotiating obstacles. Barricade’s Battalion Stubby Bumper features a built-in winch plate that is capable of supporting a 12,000 lb. winch, an integrated over-rider hoop and two high strength D-Ring mounts with D-Rings included.
Light up The Night. The Barricade Off-Road Battalion Stubby Front Bumper is the perfect solution for night-time trail runners. This Bumper features two OE sized fog light mounting tabs that allow you to easily swap over your Wrangler’s factory fog lights. The over-rider hoop also includes two mounting tabs for use with any aftermarket auxiliary lights to ensure complete confidence in any night time adventure.
Heavy Duty Construction. Barricade Off-Road manufactures their Battalion Stubby Front Bumper from heavy duty, steel plate and steel tubing for superior strength and rigidity. The D-Ring mounts are welded in place for extra strength. Barricade then completes the entire Bumper in a 2 stage finish using epoxy pre-coating and high-grade textured black powder coating for durability and long lasting corrosion resistance.
Easy, Bolt-On Installation. Barricade Off-Road engineered their Battalion Stubby Front Bumper to be a direct bolt-on replacement for the original stock bumper reusing the factory mounting points. There is no cutting or modifications required for a clean straight forward install. Installation can be completed in about two hours with just basic hand tools and the help of a good friend.
Application. This Barricade Off-Road Battalion Stubby Front Bumper with Winch Mount is designed for use on 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK models.
Overall very satisfied with the bumper, love the way it looks, install was straight forward. However, when installing winch and fairlead the provided winch cut-out was way to small and needed to be widened quite a bit to keep winch line from contacting . . Also as some have said came with missing hardware for fog light mounting and the holes needed to be drilled out to fit the provided hardware through.
Great product that is sturdy and well built. Install was smooth and the fit was nice and clean. I love the aggressive look this added to my JK.
I have the Barricade Battalion front bumper on both of my JK’s and they fit perfect and look great.
Have a 2012 wrangler sport JKU. Installed the bumper in 2023. Bumper went on easy with a little help to hold it in place while the bolts were aligned with the holes and tightened. Hardest part was removing the nuts from the old bumper. Needed plenty of PB blaster + cheater bar + swearing + adrenaline = success with removing them nuts.
Stylish bumper for the money, do yourself a favor go the hardware store and get metal push nuts (aka bolt keepers) to hold the male bolts in place as the plastic ones slip off, this will save you so much time in the install.
