ARIES 2186001 TrailCrusher Front Bumper w/Brush Guard for 97-06 TJ Wrangler

TrailCrusher Jeep Wrangler TJ Steel Front Bumper with Brush Guard, 9.5K The ARIES TrailCrusher Jeep TJ bumper is constructed to outmatch every other bumper in its class. With heavy-duty, welded steel construction, it is a highly functional companion on the trail, featuring a winch and shackle rating of 9,500 lbs. The TrailCrusher bumper is available for the front and rear, and it installs with no drilling required. Everything about the TrailCrusher Jeep TJ bumper is designed to maximize its strength and utility. It is built with 3/16" thick all-steel plates, welded together in a stout, high-strength configuration. It also features 1/4" thick welded shoulder sleeves that add even more strength, particularly to the shackle mounts. Not only does the TrailCrusher bumper provide a 9,500-lb. winch and shackle rating, but it also offers excellent versatility. The winch platform of the bumper features industry-standard mounting holes to accept most types of winches, and the shackle mounts accept any pin up to 7/8" in diameter. ARIES forged steel shackles #2166071 offer a perfect fit and a work load limit to match the 9.5K rating. A number of winch accessories are also available, including a hawse fairlead #2156070 and roller fairlead #2156071. For added winch protection and an aggressive look on the Jeep TJ, this bumper also comes with a stinger-style angular brush guard. The TrailCrusher bumper is fast and easy to install, integrating with the Jeep Wrangler TJ like a stock bumper. It uses pre-existing holes in the vehicle frame to eliminate drilling from the install process, and it mounts with 3/8" steel brackets for added strength. To be ready for whatever the trail has in store, both the front and rear TrailCrusher bumpers come an E-coat and carbide black powder-coated finish, maximizing rust and scratch resistance. Each comes with all necessary mounting hardware for a complete installation (see application info to verify fitment with your Jeep).
