High Clearance Front Bumper with Hoop for Jeep Wrangler JK, JL & Gladiator JT

Artec Industries' High Clearance Front Bumper with Hoop pairs the company's frame-cut stubby winch bumper with a 1.75" DOM tube hoop, giving the Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018), Wrangler JL (2018+), and Gladiator JT (2020+) maximum approach angle without leaving the grille exposed. Like the no-hoop version, installation means trimming 5.25" from the front frame horns and bolting the bumper to the shortened frame through an internal PEM plate - a permanent modification that transforms how the nose clears obstacles. The hoop is gusseted with plate steel, so it shields the grille, carries lighting, and takes contact on climbs. Construction is 1/4" and 3/16" CNC laser-cut steel, made in the USA, with a 3/16" aerospace aluminum bash skid below.

Features

• 1.75" DOM tube hoop reinforced with large plate-steel gussets
• Body formed from 1/4" and 3/16" CNC laser-cut steel in the USA
• Integrated 1/4"-thick winch mount and fairlead mount
• 3/4"-thick alloy steel shackle mounts built into the structure
• 3/16" aerospace aluminum bash skid with flush countersunk hardware
• Internal PEM plate anchors the bumper to the trimmed frame
• Approximately 65 lbs complete
• Raw steel or matte black powder coat

Plan the install carefully: the 5.25" frame-horn cut and drilling are required, Warn Zeon-class winches fit while offset-drum winches do not, and OEM electric swaybars need an aftermarket solution - confirm your combination before cutting. Raw steel should be painted or coated after fitting. Prefer the cleaner nose? See the High Clearance Front Bumper without hoop. The Fairlead & Light Bracket and replacement bash skid support both versions, and our front bumpers collection has the rest.
