Jeep JL Wrangler Front Bumper Installation EVO Quarter Pounder Stubby with WARN ZEON 10s Winch

Ever since Cindy and I got our Jeep JL Wrangler, there's been one front bumper in particular that we've been wanting to run but wasn't available or at least, not until now. Of course, that bumper would be the Quarter Pounder by EVO Manufacturing and as some of you may know, it's the same basic and beefy, stubby front bumper that we've been running on Moby for years. Some of the things we love most about it, is that it's super compact, comes with a built in winch plate that sits down low and in between the frame rails, allows you to chop the lower frame extensions, flip the Rubicon sway bar disconnect motor and hide all the mess behind precision, laser cut and CNC bent, 1/4" steel that's proudly Made in the USA! In this episode of the JL JOURNAL, you'll get to see just how easy it is to install a Quarter Pounder front bumper and with a WARN ZEON 10s winch. We hope you find our video to be helpful to you.

I was unboxing some parts for my Jeep this past weekend and I told my fiancé that every box I open I now think of Eddie. Luckily we both are subscribed to your channel so no further explanation was necessary. 😜 As always- awesome video and the editing is top notch!

Thanks for another great install video. This is probably an obvious question, but why not install the winch foot retaining bolts top down setting with the winch rather than from the bottom up? Also, did you torque them to any value?

@wayalife 3 жыл бұрын

The nuts in the winch are square and sit in slots that prevent them from rotating. I did not tighten them to a torque spec being that I couldn't get a torque wrench up into the bumper to do so but given the bolt sizes, they should have only needed about 45-50 ft lbs. That's easy to get to by hand.

Nice Vid. Thanks. I notice you have a significant angle on your swaybar. I was under the impression the front sway bar was basically supposed to be level with the ground, am I misinformed?

@wayalife 5 жыл бұрын

Ideally, you want your sway bar arms sitting at about 5° above level. However, we have a tremendous amount of droop due to our coil overs and longer links are needed to prevent hyper-extending the links at a full flex. This is of course because we have a Rubicon and use the e-disco.

Nice install. I really appreciate how you add the little aids that you include that helps eliminate tons of time scratching my head. This bumper is heavy! What is your thought on aluminum bumpers? My Jeep is currently near weight capacity when wheeling. Evo has an Alumilite. Genright makes an ultra high clearance bumpr. What is your thought on the weight vs durability for the front bumper? Thank you for your time.

@wayalife 11 ай бұрын

I don't know what constitutes "near weight capacity" but I can tell you that with 1-ton axles, steel armor and all the gear that I carry in my JK, it's almost 7k lbs in weight and it's been able to take me everywhere and all across the US for 15 years now. That said, nothing wrong with aluminum and if saving weight is your thing, you should consider it.

Just ordered my first Wrangler, a Willys Xtreme Recon! Really like the looks of this. Would cutting the tusks off void warranty? Is there something similar that wouldn’t require that?

@wayalife Жыл бұрын

Warranties are only voided IF what you're wanting to have covered was affected by the modification you've made. In other words, if you're trying to have your radio replaced under warranty, the tusks being removed would have no bearing on that. Make sense?
