The AEV EX Front Bumper for JL Wrangler / Gladiator raises the bar for front end protection with a host of innovative design features and manufacturing processes that truly set it apart from the rest - even the factory steel winch bumper. Designed, tested, and manufactured in the USA, the AEV EX Front Bumper provides an unrivaled level of functionality, style, and protection for your Jeep.

FULL-WIDTH PROTECTION. SHORT BUMPER CLEARANCE.

The full-width design of the AEV EX Front Bumper offers maximum protection for the vital front suspension components that can often leave a vehicle disabled when damaged in a collision. It also helps direct air up and over the fender flares instead of trapping the air inside the flare, which increases drag and reduces fuel economy. These benefits do not come at the expense of limiting tire size, decreased tire clearance, or approach angle. In fact, the EX Front Bumper sits higher and tighter to the body, giving it a better approach angle than the factory winch bumper.

HOT STAMPED BORON STEEL CONSTRUCTION

The AEV EX Front Bumper is manufactured out of Hot Stamped Boron Steel (HSBS) and features an OE-quality, multi-stage E-coat/powder coat finish for maximum corrosion and UV resistance. Hot Stamped Boron Steel is an ultra-high strength, press hardened steel that is commonly used in automotive applications for passenger impact protection because it is lightweight with an extremely high yield strength. The complete EX Front Bumper weighs approximately 110 pounds, yet it is stronger than a bumper weighing twice as much.

SUPERIOR WINCH ACCESS AND VISIBILITY

What good is a winch bumper if it is difficult to use? The factory winch bumper allows mounting a winch to your vehicle, but the clutch handle can be difficult to access and the winch line visibility when spooling your winch is very poor. The carefully thought-out profile of the EX Front Bumper solves both of these issues, offering plenty of accessibility to the clutch and a better view of your winch line during recovery operations - even with hoop mounted lights!

The AEV 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler/Gladiator RX Front Bumper raises the bar for front-end protection with a host of innovative design features and manufacturing processes that truly set it apart from the rest - even the factory steel winch bumper. Designed, tested, and manufactured in the USA, the AEV RX Front Bumper provides an unrivaled level of functionality, style, and protection for your Jeep.

AGGRESSIVE STYLE. MAXIMUM CLEARANCE.

The AEV 2018 Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator RX Front Bumper has all the same core features as our EX Front Bumper, but it includes short corners instead of the full-width corners for a more aggressive look and maximum tire clearance. This is a great option for anyone running aftermarket fender flares with tires over 40" tall. Additionally, the AEV RX Front Bumper itself sits both higher and tighter to the body and with a better approach angle than the factory winch bumper. If you are looking for a bumper without limitations, this is it!

AEV's 7000 Series Light Mounting Kit are designed for JL Wrangler/Gladiator owners who wish to add a set of AEV 7000 Series LED Off-Road Lights to their AEV RX/EX Front Bumper.

The AEV Rear Bumper and RX Tire Carrier (sold separately) for the 2018+ JL Wrangler are essential upgrades for anyone serious about off-roading adventure. The OE Jeep JL Wrangler rear bumper with tire carrier work perfectly fine for a stock vehicle that seldom leaves the road, but they are not really meant to withstand much off-road abuse.

AEV's JL Rear Bumper is designed from the ground up to withstand all the rigors of off-road use and overland travel. The JL Rear Bumper maximizes departure angle and offers chassis-mounted, tubular steel corner protection for the rear quarter sheet metal, which is one of the most vulnerable parts on the Wrangler. The AEV Rear Bumper includes a pair of heavy duty, chassis mounted recovery points for easy rigging of ¾" anchor shackles. Rotomolded corners reduce added weight, while adding to the overall aesthetic, and a molded step pad is included for secure footing when accessing your cargo.

The AEV Jeep JL rear bumper is fully compatible with the OE trailer hitch receiver, license plate light, trailer harness plug and will accept the rear ParkSense back-up sensors (if equipped). There is also a provision for a single 3" square LED reverse light to be mounted cleanly behind the bumper (mounting kit sold separately) and to add a pair of AEV Splash Guards (sold separately). To make sure the Bumper fits correctly on all Wranglers, we even designed two unique fender-flare extension kits for Jeeps with either the "high" fender flare option or the standard fender flares. Customers who have aftermarket fender flares or no fender flares at all are able to order the Rear Bumper without a flare extension for a narrower width. With multiple configuration options available, the AEV Rear Bumper will look great on the back of your JL Wrangler regardless of your fender flare style.

TWO UNIQUE STYLES. SAME GREAT FEATURES.

Some people prefer the look of a full-width bumper, while others prefer a short corner bumper-the AEV EX/RX Front Bumper is available in BOTH configurations!
