Review on 🚧 Rugged Ridge 11540.23 XHD Bumper Stubby End Kit, Front, Textured Black for 2006-2018 Wrangler by Joaquin Bennett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The texture and color have been tweaked a bit and the installation will test your patience.

I ordered this to replace the full bumper tips I used before I upgraded my tire size to 38" on my Jeep. The bolt fits perfectly, but as many other previous reviewers have pointed out, tightening either of the bolt and nut combos on the ends with a wrench is almost impossible, and as such the entire installation process requires patience and perseverance. What should take about 5 minutes per dead end turns into a much, much longer process. It wasn't meant to be, but that's how the final design came about. One note: the texture, while meant to match the original bumper, is slightly different. Significantly more structured and slightly darker than the factory bumper (from the same manufacturer). I understand that the original bumper color may fade a bit, but the texture is another matter entirely. I give one star for the two points just mentioned.

Pros
  • Sleek Design
Cons
  • Upgrades
