While you see it as a failure, this gave me exactly what I needed to NOT do this, and to order a proper aftermarket bumper. TY for sharing this!
Jason, you're welcome. I was new to Jeep ownership and I had to find out the hard way. However, it was fun exploring the Jeep.
He took one for the team! Lol!
A 42-minute video just to show that it looks awful underneath? 🤦♂️
I'm not really sure why you would think that the OEM steel bumper would be underneath the plastic cover. The option for the steel bumper is $1000CAD. Why would Jeep give you an OEM steel bumper for nothing?
Are there better steel bumpers, better skid plates etc ...? Yes. But they will run you more than $1000. Go check out collisions between JT's with the OEM steel bumper and other vehicles. This "chincy" steel bumper does the job it needs to do.
Because others mentioned it. First Jeep. No biggie. It’s just a learning moment.
Be sure to seal up the rear around those fog lights or upgrade to plug n play led for non rubicon models... youd be surprised to see how much thin dusty mud enters the chambers behind the covers and onto the back of the fog lights connections.. black gasket silicone works fine if ya gonna keep the oem on..😮
I’m laughing at you only because I walked outside to start trying to pry my plastic bumper apart 😭😭
The "three-piece bumper" is what you was thinking of and you don't have that..
Neither does anyone else that has the standard bumper and cover..
Nonetheless it's a good video because you made a good tutorial on how to take one off without breaking it
My Jeep was hit by a car going 60mph and pushed 1/2 way through the car in front of me and my OEM steel bumpers held up incredibly well.
Has to be a joke right???
I’m so glad I watched this before trying this. I was literally about to do this to get that stubby look. Thank you lol😂
i needed this - u covered it exactly what i needed to see! Thank you.
Steel bumper option is limited to the Rubicon trim. Sorry you went through this and you're disappointed. The Mojave is a great trim level though and the process for changing out the entire bumper with an aftermarket one is easier than what you went through in this video. If you just like the factory look, the factory steel bumper will fit, if you find one used for cheap. Or you can buy it new for $$$
Thank you! I was hoping it was a quick swap BUT I’ll save my money and get an aftermarket one. I’ll also put on a winch. I appreciate you kind words.
Thank god I watched this video before I did mine. Have this same bumper on my Mojave. Whew 😥 that sucks the 3 piece version is cool.
Yeah…I’ve got the same Rig…no 3-piece bumper. I just wanted to take the ends off and create a stubby. No soup!
You can remove the whole bumper. Remove your frontal skid plate (s) before removing the frontal bumper. Then, you can see the back to removing your bumper bolts. Remember, you need to remove your wire harnesses from the fog lights 💡 to installing the fog lights to your new bumper.
Alright I subd to this channel hoping to see some work done on the JT... I have a 2021 beatufiul mall crawling glossy black 3.0L ecodiesel, but looking to make it even cooler. Make more videos! 😅
Awesome. Yeah, I will be making some more videos. Hopefully, over the last year I've learned more about Jeeps than when I made this video. HAHA
My Willys has the same bumper, Jeep calls it a “Premium front Bumper”
My first jeep too brother. Mojave but you re looking for a Rubicon metal bumper
The Mojave has a plastic bumper to reduce weight. Remember Mojave is "Desert Rated" for high speed desert runs.
Thanks for sharing. I was planning on doing just this. And maybe reinforcing for off road. Now it looks like its best to make a whole new bumper.
There’s a OEM replica bumper on eBay and Amazon that’s identical to the metal rubicon one and it’s comes with the winch plate and has a lot of good reviews and honestly can’t tell the difference from factory and the replica. Try that out .
lol thanks for the video now I know
Man what a PITA!! Lol!! I’m glad you still posted this up.
It is what it is haha. Other new jeepers will not have to suffer the disappointment too. lol
So you thought there was a three piece Rubicon steel bumper underneath??? 🤣
It was my first Jeep, and you can see others in the comments. I also thought this may have been a possibility.
Everyone anytime they install something on a jeep, ok cool done…wait it’s not coming off “I don’t think that’s correct, fuck”
I'm glad I got the Rubicon with steel bumpers
Yeah definitely. I unfortunately saw people saying they had a steel bumper under the plastic. Which, was either a lie or something else. Our Rubicon and Mojave didn’t come with them. It’s okay.
@@jeepers7688 Sorry dude. Reminds me of the people that said that you can drill a hole in the bottom of your new iPhone for an old school headphone jack... The good news is that the new JL/JT plastic bumpers do have more metal in them than the old JK bumpers, but yes, the MOPAR steel bumper is a completely different assembly.
did you learn how to replace the bumper? lol
Your Jeep probably cost twice what that airplane. Some are very reasonably priced vs high end vehicles….
Click bbbaaaiiittt!!!!!
TY for the video. Nice gym set up too
Join a jeep forum to get good information before doing any other work. Taking bumper off only takes a few minutes. Join a club!!
Thanks. The idea is great but I thought I’d mess around and find out. Probably a good idea for most. Not my cup of tea.
@@jeepers7688 same here... not much in the "club" scene like flying solo
Glad I saw this. Thanks.
What lift (if any) you running on the mojave?
No lift. Stock lift. Mojave is lifted compared to the Rubicon if I remember correctly.
What’s the tire and wheel combination on your wife’s rubicon
My wife is running Black Rhino Primm wheel. She is running the same tire as my Mojave. They are Razr MT 35s by Maxxis
the steel bumper you show at 0:49 is an option from Mopar.
The one he showed was an eBay knock off. Mopar bumpers don't come with bull bars on them.
What is the offset of your rims and are you stock height
The rims are Black Rhino Abrams. They are 17" x 9.5" and Bolt Pattern: 5 x 5-inch (5 x 127mm)
Offset: -18mm ; Backspacing: 4.54-inches. They are a sold rim and are a great looking wheel. I am running stock height. I do not plan to do any modifications to the Mojave's stock suspension that would increase height. I may do some upgrades to beef up some components. Thanks for asking.
