ARB Classic Stubby Front Bumper
JT/JL
Product Resources
Features & Product Details
Inspired by the ARB Wrangler JK Stubby Bumper, the newly developed ARB JT/JL Classic Stubby Bumper is designed for the off-roader who needs a winch mounting platform while maintaining maximum clearance for larger diameter tires. Generally, vehicles that run larger than 37-inch tires may rub the wings of a traditional style ARB Deluxe Bumper. The Classic Stubby Bumper eliminates this issue on the Jeep JT/JL as it is only a little wider than the vehicle’s chassis. For recovery situations each wing section features jacking points suitable for an ARB JACK or mechanical recovery jack. Antenna tabs on main tube can be used for fitment of communication antennas or driving lights to the bumper. Central on each outer wing section are 0.8” thick 350 grade recovery points which tie through the wings and into the chassis mounts directly giving the strongest possible recovery point. The winch platform will allow the mounting of most traditional low mount style Warn winches and narrow mount pattern competition type winches. A bracket is provided for those who wish to run their control box in the center of the bumper. Two front ‘flip up’ style license plate mounts are provided. One to suit roller fairleads and one for the hawse type fairlead. These allow the number plate to be located over the fairlead and flipped up out of the way when the winch is in use.

REVIEWS & CUSTOMER MEDIA
In terms of fitting a wide variety of winches and having D-ring shackle points, this is my favorite stubby bumper available, but it took a few tries to get one that wasn't seriously damaged in shipping. Just be friends with a local powdercoater in case yours showed up dinged - ARB can certainly build good bumpers, but their coating or packaging needs a little bit of work. One major improvement in the JL/JT design is that the mounting hardware on the frame rails now have captive nuts instead of having you force a box wrench into the Hi-Lift holes to tighten on the outside. Makes the job a lot easier.
