ARIES (2156002): TrailCrusher® Front Bumper for Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator

The TrailCrusher® front bumper from ARIES is designed, tested, and built to work hard on the trail and give your Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator the functional advantage you need when it comes to winches and shackles.

Predrilled slotted holes create a universal and secure winch-mounting platform, whild additional predrilled holes accept a hawse or roller fairlead (winches and fairleads not included). An optional stinger brush guard can be installed to both help protect the winch and add an extra-aggressive profile.
