Default What front bumper is this....?

Hi from the UK!

I've just put a deposit down on this 2013 Sahara.
V6 Wranglers are pretty rare over here and to me the 2.8 diesel just sounds like a tractor!

This is a fresh import from Japan and because they don't salt their roads in winter it's in much better condition than examples that have spent their whole life here.

Its going to be my hunting vehicle so my plans are:

2.5" lift
33" tires with new wheels.
Upgrade alpine audio & stereo
Front winch
Spare tire delete
New rear bumper
Add tow hitch.

My first question is does anyone know what front bumper this is? I want to see if there's a similar aftermarket rear available.

I'm in the US and was considering the Rough Country flat fender flare kit because I much prefer the look compared to the painted fenders. But I think it could look off given how wide the aftermarket front bumper is!

Welcome to the forum. You can shorten the bumper to go with the flat fenders. Just requires cutting to where you want and add, on both ends, a piece of 3/8" plate cut, fitted and welded. Kind of looks Smittybilt ish. Recommend you go for the 285/75/17 tires as they are 34" and with the lift you won't have rubbing issues but you may have to correct the caster a bit.
