Off Road Ready. When tackling tough terrain you will need rugged protection and a way to recover in the event you get yourself stuck. The smart way to go is to install a Barricade Trailforce HD Full Width Front Bumper and Winch Combo Kit on your 2018-2023 JL Jeep Wrangler. The include 9500 lb winch can handle all your recovery needs, while the Trailforce Bumper will protect against road and trail hazards.
Trail Force HD Full Width Front Bumper. Barricade manufactures their Trail Force HD Full Width Front Bumper from 5/32 inch mild steel plating and 2 inch x 0.120 inch tubing for dependable durability. The heavy duty D-Ring mounts are welded on both the inside and the outside for additional strength. Barricade then completes the entire Bumper in a rugged two stage finish, using epoxy pre-coating and a high-grade textured black powder coating. As an added bonus, this Trailforce HD Bumper also features integrated light mounts that allow you to install two fog lights and two auxiliary lights. Lights are not included – sold separately.
Heavy Duty 9500 LB Winch. The included Barricade Winch is driven by a powerful 5.5 HP series-wound 12-volt electric motor. Featuring a rugged 3-stage planetary gear box with a 195.4:1 gear ratio, this Winch provides 9500 lbs of pulling power. Matched with a sliding ring gear clutch and a two-way automatic, in-the-drum braking system, you know you can always rely on this winch to hold your rig. A Hawse fairlead helps to reduce wear and tear on the included 94 foot long Dyneema SK75 Synthetic Rope. This Barricade Winch also includes a wired remote control with a 12 foot lead, allowing you to safely stand clear when in operation.
Simple, Bolt-on Installation. Barricade engineered their Bumper and Winch Combo Kit to be a direct bolt-on upgrade using just basic hand tools. There is no cutting or drilling required for a clean, straight forward installation. With the help of a friend, installation can be completed in about 3 hours.

Easy to install. I had to add 1/2” spacer to allow enough room between the winch and grill. Another 1/4” spacer would have been better to allow the winch cables to lay behind the winch. As it is now, I can’t use the winch weather cover.

I installed this last night, like a lot of the other posters if you have a sport or sport s, the OEM headlights will not fit this bumper. You can re-drill the holes on one side of the light bracket to 1/4in and the light will mount but not cleanly and it won’t be a long term solution. I would recommend picking up some cheaper LED fog lights that fit a Sahara JL and replacing your original lights with these. Other than the lights, the install is straight forward and took me about 1.5 hours with no special tools to complete.

Assembled the Bumper to the Jeep with the hardware supplied, but when trying to assemble the Winch onto the Winch Plate, Winch wouldn’t line up with bolt holes on the Winch Plate, due to Winch against front Grill, so what I did was loosen all the Bumper attachment hardware and that gave me the room to attach the Winch to the Winch Plate. So it took a little more time than expected. My recommendation is to keep Bumper loose until Winch is mounted. What a perfect fit.

Loosen the inner mount bolts during installation and it will go on so much easier looks great and really solid…
