Hooke Road Wrangler JK Front Bumper w/Winch Plate & LED Lights for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK & Unlimited 2/4 Doors

Awesome Quality, Awesome look

This is a solid bumper, lights are bright, looks better than photos. It is American made (talking about the Hooke Road bumper). There are reviews of other China made bumpers mixed in on here that look the same, so don't get confused. It bolted right up, no issues. Winch bolted right on. The only issue I can mention is the instructions are not great. The Skid Plate has two brackets, doesn't say which is left or right, but it does matter. I put them on the wrong side at first and had to switch them. It also came with two oval plates that it didn't explain. Those are for the underside of the Bull Bar to keep the bolts from pulling through. I doubt that would happen anyway, the bolts would probably break before they pulled through the bumper. The lights can wire directly to the fog light wires if you have them, but there is some wire modification that needs to be done. There are 4 lights to wire up on the bumper, and only two fog light wires. This will handle the load just fine, as the stock fog lights are 55 Amps, and these are only 18 Amps each. It would be nice if they supplied a splitter that directly plugs into the fog lights, but the lights on the bumper only have wires with no connector, so that has to be wired up. I picked up some connector from O'Reilly's, but that is so I can unplug the wires if I want to remove the bumper for some reason, no need to be that fancy with it.

Great quality. Exactly as described. Fast shipping.

Nice solid bumper however two of the bolts on the bumper did not allow the nuts to screw on properly

So I read the reviews before buying just as everyone does. I went ahead and bought it for my wife's birthday. I installed it in 2 hours it fits great. No issues at all. The bumper just looks great and wife is very happy with it. The lights are very bright and I connected them to the factory fog lights. So they work with the jeeps fog light switch. There was nothing complicated about this proflduct.

I thought that I would be sacrificing on durability with the price. It is definitely stronger than I expected. I feel like the lights could have been a little better. One fills with fog as soon as it rains. Other than that everything was great. Easier to install than expected. Also, be prepared to have more sockets than they list you needing. I think it was an 18mm, a 19mm, and a 10mm.

The bumper arrived with the paint chipped in several places and the bull bar bent so badly it could not be installed without trying to bend it back and risk chipping more paint. I contacted the seller who was very polite on the phone. They said the decision was up to their supplier in China if it needed to be shipped back at my expense or not. After a few emails, I am now expected to cover shipping for this heavy bumper even though it came like this.

Installation was a breeze. With just a few common tools this fit my 2013 JKU like a glove. I like the look, and construction should stand up to the trails and rock climbing. Shipping container quality left something to be desired and the item arrived with visible defects to the coating and a minor dent. I contacted the company right away. After I sent the photos they requested, within two days I was refunded the cost it's going to take to have it stripped and new coating applied. While VERY bright the quality of the lights is low and they barf bright light everywhere instead of the specifically-applied spot beam of the factory fog lights. Bang for the buck can't be beat, however. Overall, very satisfied with this product.
