While our original plan was to install a WARN Zeon 10s onto our factory front Rubicon Steel Bumper, we got talking to our friends over at LoD Offroad and decided to change our plans and test out one of their all new, JL Destroyer Shorty front bumpers. Fortunately, it comes with a built in winch plate, a winch protector hoop with auxiliary light mounting tabs and ports to allow for the mounting factory fog lights. In this episode of the JL JOURNAL, you'll get to see what it took to get both installed on JET Li, our Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. We hope you enjoy.
UPDATE: Factory LED fog lights that come in the standard plastic front bumper bolt right up to the LoD JL Destroyer Shorty Front Bumper and without any issues. LoD now offer an optional bracket that will allow you to install LED fog lights that come installed on a Rubicon steel front bumper. Click on the link below for more info:

I put my front bumper on yesterday, my friend had to fabricate a new bracket for the fuel pump to move it over a bit so the winch would have room as I have a full bumper. Thank goodness my two friends were helping me. Well, have a nice day, have fun!

Just installed the same bumper on my wife's JL Rubi this afternoon. It had the factory plastic bumper, so the fogs fit no problem. The only thing I did differently, was to use the bolts to attach the skid plate cross member to the frame, then use the button head bolts to attach the skid plate to the bumper and cross member. Now researching winches...

Too funny. If anything, I would have called it a "wedge" but in the WARN instructions, they called it a "puck". Went with LoD for a few reasons. For one, we really wanted to have a winch for EJS and for two, they're friends of ours and were able to help us out in a pinch.

Great video. I my self like the factory steal bumper and will probably just do a winch mount for it. Not that much rocks around here so don’t need the protection. I love the Milwaukee ratchet. I have one of the new ones that just came out. It replaced my old one which is the one you have. It have a lot more torque. You don’t need to brake the bolt and nuts with a ratchet. Take a look at them the Milwaukee fuel 12v

My build for my 18 Rubicon JL is 2.5” RC spacer lift and 37” tires, was wondering how much drop or sag happened with weight of bumper and heavy Winch? I added a additional 3/4” RC spacer to the front and from before and after measuring found out it was perfect for Red Rock stubby bumper and Smittybilt 9500# rope Winch. It dropped the front exactly the 3/4” so maintained the 2.5” lift. I know the springs will set later but so far happy with the 3/4” spacer.

of course, I'd rather see you use the original steel bumper, since it's already awesome, but I bet many people who got the plastic bumpers will find this helpful. I'm super happy with my stock steel bumper and I don't think I'll ever change it. I will remove the the ends and add a brush bar, winch and lights though. So many options available. such a fun truck.

We grew up driving manuals and it's what we know best and in a lot of ways, what we enjoy most BUT I'd be lying if I said there are any pros to wheeling one off road over an automatic. Or at least, for the kind of wheeling we do. Wheeling an automatic is like the difference between wheeling with lockers versus wheeling with open diffs.

Great video. Really enjoyed it. One thing I’d love to have you “review” is how your MPG is changing. I’ve heard good things about the JL fuel economy, but does adding 37s and winches and steel bumpers put it back about the same as a JK or are you still getting better MPG than a JK?
@wayalife
@wayalife 6 жыл бұрын
Jeremy McLerran - Well yeah our MPG has changed, how could it not. That being said, our JL with all these mods are STILL getting much better MPG than our JK with a 3.8L ever did and even our JK with a 3.6L. Driving a thousand miles out to Moab doing about 70-80 MPH and crossing over multiple mountain ranges, wheeling a week worth of low range wheeling and then driving home again, we STILL managed to average 14.5 MPG.

First of all, great video and nice bumper! I have a question, the new JL comes with an optional ‘4 button Aux power switch.’ All the reviews I have read state that it’s designed for wiring in optional mods such as LED light bars and a winch. Your JLU looks fully loaded. So I am assuming yours came with this option. If it did, why didn’t you wire the winch to be compatible with the new Aux power switch? Thank you for your time and Looking forward to all your future videos. -Garrett

More times than not, a lot of the winching I do is with me standing outside of my Jeep and that's where a remote control comes in handy. For the times that I need to be winching and driving, I still think it'd be a LOT easier to do that with a remote than having to reach all the way over to one of the aux buttons and try to make sure I'm getting the right one while attempting to navigate my way through a tough situation. Of course, that's just me.

Hello! Was just wondering if you powder coated the bumper before installing? I will be installing mine soon, but not sure if I should add an additional layer. I am already seeing some rusty parts on my EVO tire reinforcer, which is also the same as yours.

Nope, I just installed it as is.

Hey, Wayalife I bought the LOD bumpers for my Jeep last year and this weekend I’m going to put the front one on. Last year I put the back one on. I like them. Good video by the way. Thank you.

Hey Ed, have you found a steel bumper for the JL that works well with the factory LED fog lights??
@wayalife
@wayalife 6 жыл бұрын
Please note that the ONLY LED fog lights to have issues are the ones that come in the Rubicon steel bumper. The LED's that come in the standard plastic factory bumpers work fine. ALSO, LoD has since come out with new brackets that do allow for the use of Rubicon steel bumper LEDs.

First : Nice Videos - thanks for that from Germany. How high is your Jeep JL now ? (Garage entry...)

To the top of the windshield, about 75". No problems getting into a standard garage with a 7' header.

How would this work if you have the park sensors??

Sorry, not really sure being that I don't have the parking sensors but I would imagine that LoD sells a bumper that can accommodate them. I would give them a call.

just a though, you maybe able to disassemble the mounting housing for the JL fog lights and mount the JL LED headlights into the JK mounting housing. A good way to save $500.00 on purchasing aftermarket fogs.

It's a good thought but if you look at it carefully, you'll see that the housing is molded plastic and not something you can disassemble. That being said, the LED fog light issue is only an issue with ones that come on the steel bumper group. If you have a plastic bumper, the LED fogs for it should still work just fine. Most people with the steel bumper group will not be swapping it out for a different bumper like I did.

That stinks they are manufactured that way. Good thing for made in china amazon specials, you can get new ones cheap :). True to the bumper comment, that why so many of them trolled you on this video. I wish people would learn that its your jeep, which means you get to build it how you want. If they want to pay you to build it in their style then that's a different story. The JLU looks great and I enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching you build this thing out.

Much nicer looking and stronger than the stock bumper. Just kind of disappointed that LOD didn't think through the LED fog light mounting option for JL owners.

In truth, it really wasn't their fault. The LED fogs on the standard plastic bumper are the same as what we installed. It's only on the optional steel bumper that the fogs are different and they're working on a new bracket for it.
