AEV RX Front Bumper - JT/JL

After pioneering the aftermarket’s first stamped steel front bumper over a decade ago, AEV is again pushing the boundaries of innovation by introducing the RX Front Bumper for JL Wrangler and Gladiator! The RX Front Bumper features new materials, updated styling, unique lighting options, and the attention to detail that you expect to form AEV.

Hot Stamped Boron Steel (HSBS) is an ultra-high strength, press-hardened steel and is most commonly used in automotive applications for passenger impact protection because it is lightweight with extremely high yield strength. 

Aside from the material itself, many of the key features from the previous generation Jeep bumpers are carried over with the addition of a few new ones. Lighting is always a critical component to traveling safely through remote backcountry. Hence, the AEV RX Front Bumper allows the installation of two 7” off-road lights with the use of AEV’s Optional Off-Road Light Brackets (sold separately). These brackets attach underneath the roto-molded center hoop, which features a very slick design that allows you to run your wires along the back of the tube without being visible or exposed to the elements. 

The RX Front Bumper is up for any recovery task during your travels, with two Hi-Lift Jack guides and a pair of heavy-duty, chassis-mounted recovery points that are tested to meet all OE load specifications and are sized for 3/4" anchor shackles.  This Hot Stamped Boron Steel Skid Plate is lightweight yet extremely strong, making it a formidable last line of defense between an off-road obstacle and potentially a costly repair.
