Artec Industries' Sentinel Front Bumper is a high-clearance, 3/16-inch steel front bumper for the Jeep Wrangler JL, Gladiator JT, and Wrangler JK. It tucks tight to the frame to open up your approach angle, carries reinforced recovery points and integrated light mounts, and bolts on with no drilling. This configuration ships without a winch cutout exposed: an 11-gauge aluminum block-off cover on steel brackets seals the opening for a clean face, and removes easily if you add a winch later.

How thick is the steel?
The Sentinel front bumper is built from 3/16-inch steel plate for high-clearance durability on the trail.
