Reviews for Quadratec Brute Strength™ Winch Bumper for 18-23 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
Will not work with factory skid plates. I saw a review that said it will not work with the Mojave skip plate and I can confirm that it will NOT work with the rubicon skid plate. Hoop needed to be bent to line the holes up to bolt it together probably from bouncing around in the box during shipping and I was one M10x30 bolt short. Customer service offered me a discount on their skid plate that I can’t find anywhere guaranteeing that it will fit a rubicon. Not happy about spending more money on something I should not have needed to begin with. If anywhere it had said will not fit a rubicon I would not have purchased it. I am not sending it back since I spent time and money having parts from it powder coated.
Love the bumper; however, instructions were not very clear. Had two parts that did not make sense on where they were to go. Hardware is labeled alphabetically but in the instructions it refers to hardware description which was difficult since many parts were similar. Videos online were of outdated bumper.
Installed this in Dec22 and it looks awesome. Have WARN winch and Brute Strength rear bumper and side step with Aluminum skid plate. Looked great for about 3-4 months until all the hardware on all parts started to rust. Have sent note back to Quadratec to see about warranty as it looking pretty bad now. Have always liked Quadratec but this is not good quality.
