RCI Metalworks Warranty
At a glance: Lifetime structural warranty for the original purchaser; 180 days on powder coat

Disclaimer: The information on this page describes RCI Metalworks' own warranty policy. It is not a warranty offered by NVMOS (No Visible Means of Support LLC). Manufacturers update their terms at any time; we review these pages periodically, but the manufacturer's current official policy is the one that applies to your claim.

This is a full front bumper for the Wrangler JLU and the Gladiator JT, built from 3/16 inch plate and shaped to follow the body lines. The winch plate is tied directly to the frame and supports winches up to 10,000 lb. RCI says it works with Warn, SuperWinch and most other brands. The frame mounts and substructure are fully gusseted, and the 3/4 inch shackle mounts pass through the bumper shell and are welded to both the frame mounts and the outer shell, so recovery loads go to the frame instead of the sheet metal.
Lighting is covered as well. Slotted pod light mounting runs along most of the tube section, and other light bar options can be fitted with additional hardware or brackets. The finish is a heavy duty satin black powder coat over an epoxy primer base, and bare metal is also offered. You can order it with no hoop, a mid hoop or a full hoop, depending on how much protection and mounting space you want up front. It is made in the USA and weighs 61 lb.
Fitment
Listed for the 2018 and newer Jeep Wrangler JLU and the Jeep Gladiator JT. Installation is bolt-on using the factory attachment points.
Install notes
A bumper this size is a two-person job, and a winch adds more weight on the nose, so plan your springs and shocks accordingly. RCI publishes a front bumper installation guide for the 18+ JLU and JT. The bumper is made to order, so it ships on a lead time.
Questions before you order?
Fitment questions are easier to settle before the box ships. Call or text Carl & Anton at (920) 249-7744 or use the chat — real humans in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, not a call center.
