Description:

The AEV EX Front Bumper sets a new standard for Jeep® JL Wrangler and Gladiator front-end protection. Designed, tested, and manufactured in the USA, it delivers superior strength, style, and functionality, outperforming even the factory steel winch bumper.

Standard vs. High Flare Fitment

In North America, Rubicon and Mojave (JT) models came with a "high" fender flare option that allows for more tire clearance. Visually they look similar to the ones used on other models however, these fender flares sit about an inch higher and an inch wider than the standard fender flares found on Sport and Sahara models. Export models may vary depending on the country they were built for.

Full-Width Protection, Maximum Clearance

Enjoy complete front-end protection while maintaining excellent tire clearance and approach angles. Its full-width design shields vital suspension components and improves aerodynamics by directing airflow efficiently, enhancing performance and fuel economy.

Hot Stamped Boron Steel Construction

Built from ultra-high-strength Hot Stamped Boron Steel (HSBS), this bumper offers the ultimate combination of lightweight durability and impact resistance. Weighing just 110 lbs, it is stronger than bumpers twice its weight and finished with a multi-stage E-coat and powder coat for outstanding corrosion and UV resistance.

Easy Winch Access & Enhanced Visibility

Smart design ensures easy access to your winch clutch and clear visibility of your winch line during recovery, without interference from lights or mounting hardware.

Lighting & Camera Integration

Compatible with all OEM fog light options, the EX Front Bumper also supports optional AEV 7000 Series LED Off-Road Lights and a 20" lightbar mount for exceptional illumination. An available Trail Cam Relocation Kit ensures an unobstructed trail view, even with the center hoop installed.

Built for Recovery & Reliability

Equipped with dual Hi-Lift Jack guides, heavy-duty recovery points (tested to OE load standards), and full winch compatibility including the Warn Zeon 10-S, this bumper is ready for any recovery scenario. A non-winch cover plate is available for a clean look when a winch is not installed.

Proudly Made in the USA

Every AEV EX Front Bumper is American-made with premium materials and expert craftsmanship. It includes a lifetime structural warranty and 1-year corrosion warranty (for the original purchaser).

If your order does require a shipping cost/option, our shipping department will determine the shipping charges, and we will email you the cost/options for your order to ship out. Once you receive that email, there will be a link to pay for the charges, or you can cancel the order and be fully refunded.

PROCESSING YOUR ORDER:
If shipping costs need to be calculated/added, you will be emailed with an updated link to your order. Your updated order will include your order's shipping costs and be your original order with the letter "A" at the end.

FIBERGLASS SHIPPING POLICY:
Our shipping department takes the same time and effort in packaging your products as our engineers do in designing them. However, damage can still occur in shipping. Most of these damaged items can be easily repaired during install and or in paint prep.

A signed receipt without any notation releases the carrier as well as SDHQ from any further damage claim. Discovery of damages after a clear delivery becomes the responsibility of the customer. The buyer must notify SDHQ of any damages within 24 hours. In cases of damage with proper notion on receipt, the carrier will determine whether to pay for the repair cost or replacement value of the damaged goods after damage inspection. Replacement value is the amount the buyer paid to SDHQ and is not negotiable. All disputes about the settlement amount shall be addressed with the carrier. SDHQ, under no circumstances, shall be liable for the damaged product or for subsequent settlement of the claim with the carrier.

POWDER COATED ROCK SLIDERS SHIPPING POLICY: While we pack with care, we advise against shipping powder-coated sliders due to the risk of scuffs/scratches during transit. Any shipping-related damage isn't covered by SDHQ.
