Rugged Ridge (11544.24): Spartacus Stubby Front Bumper for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL

The patented Spartacus stubby front bumper from Rugged Ridge takes its design cues from the original Spartacus but changes the game a bit with a narrower trail-conquering profile. The 11544.24 is tough, too, with a satin-black powdercoat atop 11-gauge stamped steel. The stamping process creates a bumper lighter than most aftermarket steel bumpers that is designed to be compatible with all popular winch models (via Rugged Ridge winch plate 11543.16, sold separately). Uses factory tow hooks.

Features

  • For 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU.
