AEV RX Front Bumper for JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator

Default front-bumper pool candidate for JL Wrangler/JT Gladiator; quote must confirm sensors, camera, fog lights, winch, fairlead, tow hooks, skid plate, and trim details.

The AEV RX Front Bumper raises the bar for front-end protection with a host of innovative design features and manufacturing processes that truly set it apart from the rest - even the factory steel winch bumper. Designed, tested, and manufactured in the USA, the AEV RX Front Bumper provides an unrivaled level of functionality, style, and protection for your Jeep. AGGRESSIVE STYLE. MAXIMUM CLEARANCE. The AEV RX Front Bumper has all the same core features as our EX Front Bumper, but it includes short corners instead of the full-width corners for a more aggressive look and maximum tire clearance. This is a great option for anyone running aftermarket fender flares with tires over 40" tall.
