  Not as easy as it looks, need to improvise

  Rather then complaining adout inconsistencies, bad directions etc... I'll tell you what my husband did to make you life easier. That's why your reading this in the first place. First, to reinstall your fogs, reuse the the recessed embedded fastener and screws from your original bumper to mount the square “C” brackets to the bumper. For the 19 LED fogs to the bumper use the supplied tiny bolts, washers and locking washers. Put a bead of gorilla glue around the edge of the screw and nut. They screws are crazy small and I don’t want to have to fix this later so a little over kill is better then not. We clipped off the plastic tabs from the wiring harness along the length and fed it through the tiny holes in the bumper mount and epoxy along the bottom. Note we needed to cut and refasten the wires after as the plugs will not fit through. Do it right and get premium quality automotive wire connectors. Don’t just electrical tape it, you’ll be sorry later if you do. We drilled a hole through the center support under the winch plate and fed the wire through. We set a few small pools of epoxy along the inside seam and set the wire in there. Then a dab of epoxy behind the bolt bracket to keep it in one place while your trying to mount. This also will help your blood pressure.

  Easy

  I've read reviews of guys having difficulty installing this. You don't have to be MacGyver, if you can tie your shoes while chewing bubble gum, you can do this. Took 30 min to remove stock bumper, 60 min to install new bumper. Most of that time was spent lining up bumper lugs to frame holes. My tips: I used electrical tape to secure lugs to bumper temporarily. I also ditched the supplied fog light screws in favor of house gutter screws. My stock JL fog lights, (not LED, not halogen) fit perfect.

  Good but not as described

  I got this for my jl and in the videos it shows the bumper magically having the studs in it when you have to some how manage to slip you're hand in a little slot while trying to hold a 100lb bumper. if the studs came pre installed would have made a world of wonders, buy at own headache risk.

  Instructions are worthless

  The review video and PDF are essentially worthless when installing this bumper. Nowhere does it mention the bracket you have to install to get your foglights on that are near impossible to tighten unless you have child hands. The bumper is not simply 4 LED screws for the foglight on the JL. (as this video makes it seem to be). Nowhere in the instructions does it mention anything about the studs and how to affix them to the bumper. The Video and PDF say just to attach the bumper and secure the bolts. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. You need to install the studs to the bumper (somehow.. im still working on that). and then fit to the frame without them falling off back into the bumper. This installation has taken WAY longer than it should.

  Durable and good priced

  This bumper is durable and farely well priced for what you get. I have a jeep wrangler jlu sport and the factory halogen fog lights tranfered right over to this bumper. The only pain was actually installing it on my jeep. The studs are not welded on and are a pain to feed threw the holes on your frame. Took about 5 hours to get it done. And a couple of choice words.

  Product Engineering Install Directions

  The quality of this bumper gives every appearance that it is a quality product. On the other-hand, the installation directions are worthless. Stick figures would have given you more information. The install video was fairly good to get the OEM bumper off given that it was done on a 2018 and the 2019 are somewhat different. From that video I concluded that between then and now there was a change to how the mounting hardware is presented. Currently there is no real viable way to get the mounting bracket to stay in place absent drilling four holes on the bumper and four on the mounting hardware then bolting the mounting stud and nut down so it will stay in place allowing you to put on the nuts and bolts on to secure the new bumper. Given this modification it is not fool proof and you will likely have to fight to get the bolt hole nuts to line up. Please Extreme Train, ujpdate your video and get a professional product installer to write the install directions and if possible go back to having the studs installed during manufacturing. I am sure that you will find your customers will thank you for it and be loyal return customers.

  New Design is Bad Design

  Just an FYI - they recently changed the design on this and its pretty much impossible to mount the fog lights now. Some of the mounting holes are threaded incorrectly. They have shipped me 2 bumpers - both with the same issue. They also removed the 'clip in threads' shown in the install video so now you have to attempt to hold a nut and locking washer with one finger underneath the welded on platform with 3/4" side clearance. Its been two months since placing my order and they still haven't resolved the issue.

  Great Looking Bumper but a huge pain to install

  this is a great looking bumper and my JLU Sahara halogen lights fit perfectly. The instructions that came with the bumper are JUNK, best just wad them in a ball and use them to start a fire with. You have to guess how everything fits because even the video dont help other than taking your old bumper off. Mine didnt have the studs attached, it came with 4 bolts welded to a bracket with a bolt welded to the bottom of the bracket for you to struggle with trying to line up the bolts. They give you 4 plastic tabs to hold the studs to the back of the bumper and they dont hold them tight or flush, so its a royal pain to get them lined up with the bolts, set aside about 3 hrs and get ready to cuss a few times. once installed, the bumper looks great and seems to be well made.

  Pain to install, but looks good

  As other have mentioned, the paper instructions are pretty much useless. Without over exaggerating, it tells you to 'Remove old bumper' then 'Install new bumper with included hardware' in 2 pictures. The video is helpful for removing the old bumper. The bumper I received though had an extra step, you have to install the studs on the new ones, THEY ARE NOT PREINSTALLED. You basically have to put the bumper loosely on, then fish the bolts through somehow. Another worry I had was the halogen fog lights, these came with multiple holes you can attach the lights to.

  Good fit but terrible instructions

  This bumper fit my 2018 rubicon JL. I have the halogen lights so fitting the oem fog lights were not a problem. The instructions were for a 2017 jk and were useless. Besides that I recommend this bumper I fit a barricade winch on top and had no problem with the setup.

  Great bumper

  Installation instructions need to be improved. OEM halogen fog lights from my JLU Sahara fit perfectly. Mounting th fog light bracket is a pain the rear. I decided to tap the screw holes with a #8-32 self taping bit. Made the bracket installation a breeze. Mounting the bumper required some creativity. Decided to use some double sided tape to hold the stud brackets in place. Overall great bumper. Could make the installation easier and Took about 3 hours to install.

  Good looking and good quality bumper for the money

  The Bumper looks good on the Jeep and should have been an easy install. I'm very pleased with the appearance of it and the overall quality of the bumper. However, make sure you check that all hardware is in the box before you remove your factory bumper. My bumper was all that was in the box. No mounting hardware, no shackles, nothing but bumper. We had the old bumper off with an out of town trip planned for the next day, so I had to spend another $80 on nuts and bolts to get it installed so we would be able to leave on time. Contacted ET and was less than impressed with the service and overall lack of concern and service. 3 weeks later I'm still waiting on the "expedited" mounting hardware to arrive.

  Well, if you insist

  I do not want to review, as I have not installed- You cookies insist that I do, before I try to prospect your site for more accessories. So here's your review- I don't have one. I hope it fixes your need to mandate a cookie to a new customer. Tell the Guys in IT that you are losing a customer- or at least irritated one.

  Barricade Adventure Front Bumper

  Great price for the product. Fits well and adds to vehicle appearance. JL Rubicon factory LED fog lights fit perfect despite what was listed in product description. The bumper was a little different from what is shown in the installation video. The fog light mounting brackets hardware is near impossible to install with the hardware that is supplied. I used self tappers to mount the brackets which worked great. The instructions are not very complete so you are on your own. Not too difficult to figure out if you have some basic handy skills.
