Arrow Shrockworks Mid-Width Front Bumper Installation Write-Up



Just like the very popular Shrockworks Stubby Front Bumper, the new Mid-Width Front Bumper is laser cut and CNC formed out of 3/16" steel plate, comes complete with a winch plate that can accept most 9500 lbs. winches including the new WARN PowerPlant, a skid plate which will effectively protect the Rubicon electronic disconnect, (2) D-Ring mounts, (2) off-road light mounts, a winch hoop and it will allow you to keep your factory fog lights.

The installation of the Shrockworks Jeep JK Wrangler Mid-Width Front Bumper is just as simple to install as the Stubby and can be done by yourself. If you can employ the help of a friend, you should be able to complete the installation in about an hour or two at most by following the write-up below.

Wayoflife, you are da Man!

Any idea why a Superwinch EPi won't fit that bumper (according to the Shrockworks website)? Sure looks like it oughta fit.

Excellent write up. I think I'm sold on this as my bumper... I'll even be able to afford ordering it in the next week or two.

Now, affording the powerplant to 'finish' the look.. well... different story. >.<

I added this comment to the write-up:

"On Step 21, I might advise that it’s not the wiring harness of the factory fogs that needs attention, it’s the orientation of the adjustment screw - it needs to be facing down. Wrong installation will result in the light cutoff being in the wrong direction. I’m sure nighttime drivers coming at you will alert you that it is installed incorrectly! Remember to adjust the lights after the install."

I was tempted to keep the wiring harness facing toward the frame rail on both sides until I thought about the orientation of the adjustment screw.

Just an FYI.
