Description
Trail Runner Styling. If your JT Gladiator sees use both on the street and out on the trail, you may want to replace that inferior stock bumper with one that can handle the extra abuse. This Barricade Trail Runner Front Bumper with LED Fog Lights will provide excellent protection from all kinds of off-road hazards while giving your JT rugged styling. Featuring a built-in winch plate that is capable of supporting a 12,000 pound winch and two high strength D-Ring mounts with 9,500 pound rated D-Rings, this Trail Runner Bumper is perfect for those who don’t shy away from adventure.
Integrated LED Lights. This Front Bumper includes two 3-inch square LED Fog Lights. These Fog Lights are equipped with high powered LEDs and are designed to provide intense 6000K light. Each light is rated IP67 providing reliable waterproof performance, thanks to a tough aluminum housing sealed with a polycarbonate lens.
Heavy Duty Construction. Barricade manufactures their Trail Runner Front Bumper from mild steel plating and mandrel bent steel tubing for superior strength and rigidity. The D-Ring mounts are welded on both the inside and the outside for extra strength. Barricade then completes their Bumper in a two stage finish using epoxy pre-coating and high-grade textured black powder coating for long lasting durability.
Easy, Bolt-On Installation. Barricade engineered their Trail Runner 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 friend.
Application. This Barricade Trail Runner Front Bumper with LED Fog Lights is designed to fit 2020-2024 Jeep Gladiator JT models.
The received item was packaged very well and had more than enough screws…lol.. the video was very helpful that is posted on the item page.
Install was easy and love the look. Can’t beat this bumper in this price range
Install was pretty straight forward as most bumpers are. The skid plate is thin and would not work with my factory steel skid plate on the mojave, winch sits down in for a sleek look.
So far I’m enjoying the bumper – it weighs 80th lbs so not quite as heavy as others in its price range, the tubular styling is what I was going for with my Gladiator build. Included LEDs seem bright (wired them into the factory fog light harness) and the skid plate and winch plate seem sturdy. The bumper does leave a good sized gap between the grille and bumper – I’m not going to put a winch on and didn’t love seeing a giant gap and some exposed frame there so I ordered a Mopar trim piece for $50 to make it look a bit more finished. I don’t think it would be an issue if you’re running a winch that’ll take up some of that empty space in front of the grille.
The instructions are nearly useless, as the parts they reference aren’t actually pictured/identified in the guide. Took some guessing but I figured it out. Slowed me down some though.
Would help if the bolts and everything were separated and labeled. But once it’s on there it looks awesome.
