Designed for easy no-drill installation, it also accommodates factory fog lights and offers a rugged, muscular profile that elevates both style and off-road capability. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, the Arcus bumper delivers exceptional value and trail-ready toughness for Jeep enthusiasts who demand performance and presence.

## Description

The Rugged Ridge Arcus Front Stubby Bumper for Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT is anything but your typical budget-minded bumper. The Arcus represents a daring design departure from the typical, with an alluring stamped-steel body usually reserved for bumpers costing twice the price. This patented design utilizes a high-strength 11-gauge steel shell surrounding a ¼-inch thick steel winch plate, capable of holding most model winches up to a 12.5k lb. rating (accepts Hawse or roller-style fairleads). The Arcus is no lightweight when it comes all those cool options you find on pricier bumpers either, only the Arcus Stubby Bumper Set makes them standard equipment. Take our massive 1-inch thick recovery hooks that literally scream HARDCORE…each hook is dual cross-drilled so they accept both 7/8 and ¾-inch D-rings. Clever recesses in the bumper offer direct frame access for effective lifting of the Jeep with a hi-lift jack. Built-in fog light pockets accent the overall appearance and accept both factory Sport & Sahara fog light assemblies with no modification. Of course, LED lighting can be fitted using available mounting brackets (11232.23/11232.24). The Arcus Stubby Front Bumper features a high-quality satin black powder coat finish with a fine texture, because nobody said brawny can’t be beautiful. Patent Pending.

Review: Yaasss, I love my new bumper! - 10/23/2020: Right off the bat, this bumper looks great. I installed it on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator JT Rubicon that came with the plastic front bumper and the LED headlight package. This was important because Rugged Ridge was able to confirm that the factory LED fog lights on the plastic bumper were compatible, but that other configurations might not be, or at minimum would require using the additional bracket that comes with the installation hardware. Mine fit perfectly on the frame with all four screws. I chose to go without the Arcus Tube Overrider bar, because as you see from my photos, I have the front facing wide angle camera that sits top-center of the grill. My worry is that the overrider bar would obstruct the view, but I may buy it and report back on how that works out. Unrelated to the RR Arcus bumber, but to get those fog lights out of the factory plastic bumper required me to completely pull it apart. Tons of screws and even more plastic clips to get through, and then of course you'll need to snip the dozen or so zip tie clips from the wire. Criticism for the bumper was the installation instructions. They give you a parts list, but they don't tell you exactly which tools you need to put it together. For example, they specify that the bolts used to fasten the bumper to the frame is an "M12" bolt, which you'll need to extrapolate is a 12mm. But more importantly, you'll need to deduce from visual inspection and trial and error that you need a T55 tork screw bit. For someone that has more experience and tools than I do, I am sure this won't be any problem. But this was my first major vehicle project and it was a journey or two or twelve to my local hardware store to get everything I needed. I had fun even though it was challenging to do it all on my own. So the bright side is I learned a lot, and I found all sorts of excuses to buy a new impact drill, socket sets, tork wrench, ratchet and swivel adapters... and I can't wait for future upgrades that will be easier now. Interestingly, the winch support plate seems to place my selected winch a little snug against the grill. I have a Smittybilt X20 10k winch, and when it's lined up and bolted down, the winch slightly touches the grill. So I used a few steel washers in the back two bolts between the winch and the plate to lean the winch slightly forward and away from the grill. I just didn't want the winch rubbing or vibrating against the grill causing damage. I may reduce the number of washers from 3 to 2, this way there's enough thread used on the bolt. I don't want to weaken the strength of my mounting job.
Review: Great value, easy install on Jeep Gladiator Rubicon - I purchased this bumper primarily to add a winch. The bumper arrived nicely packaged and containing all required parts. The bumper included the winch plate and allowed for the reuse of the fog lights (from the factory plastic bumper) and the oem steel skid plate. This makes the bumper a great value over competitors that require a separate winch plate and aftermarket lights or skid plate (usually their own). The Warn EVO 10S fits, but it is an extremely snug fit. Be sure to install the winch on the winch plate before the bumper front plate. Also be sure to install the fairlead to the front plate before installing the front plate. The factory fog lights are easy to install and the oem steel skid plate can be reinstalled after the front plate. There is some contact between the bumper and the skid plate but nothing that prevents tightening all bolts. There isn’t much to the bumper which makes it relatively light. Bumper plus winch made the front drop about an inch. With 35” tires, I will add a 2-2.5” lift to regain the clearance. Overall, I am happy with the bumper for the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does fit 2021 JLUR Diesel
*by N***G on August 6, 2021*

Initially this did not fit my 2021 JLUR Diesel. The craftsman ship looks great. Packaging great. Arrived early. Good instructional videos on youtube. Very beefy and solid construction. I was so excited as i was unpacking it and breaking down my original oem plastic bumper. The problem is that once i had my oem bumper broken down, the winch plate that comes with the bumper was A touch long and did not fit up between my oem horn frame mounts. It was frustrating. Because of the thickness of the winch plate i could not bend it in from the ends to fit. However i took it to a local 4x4 shop and paid a guy 20 bucks to adjust it by bending it with a vice grip. With the wings of the winch plate bent in a few degrees it mounted up no problem and i was able to complete the install. One tip, since i planned to do this install solo, i purchased a pack of zip ties and used those to provide support and balance by holding up one end of the bumper while drilling in the bolts on the other side. Now that its installed, i do wish the style was just a touch more aggressive. You must have a T55 torque bit. Dont rely on the torque bit that comes with your jeep JL, that one is a T50. Although it will "work" you won't get it tight enough without stripping either the bit or the bolt, so make sure to purchase one at a local shop if u dont already have one.
