Frame-Built Bumper #231001, YJ
MetalCloak's Jeep YJ Wrangler Frame-Built Bumper (Pre-Configured) - one of our most popular builds.
Features Include:
- Fits Jeep YJ Wrangler
- Frame-Built Bumper Base
- 43" Hi-Crawler Caps
- Hi-Mount Shackles
- Winch Guard
- All Required Hardware
- Easy Installation
- Made In The USA
The base is designed to mount all popular winch brands; the unique design ensures the winch is as low as possible for the best possible airflow through the seven-slot grille.
The Hi-Crawler caps mount directly to the MetalCloak frame-built bumper base, measuring 43" from end to end when installed. The Hi-Crawler caps are designed to work in conjunction with the hi-mount shackle kit. They are made of strong laser-cut 3/16" steel, have built-in approach angles to help slide up and over obstacles, and are finished in MetalCloak's signature black textured powder coat to help protect them against the elements.
The hi-mount shackles mount directly to the MetalCloak bumper base and are designed to hold 3/4" D-ring shackles. The 2"-thick aluminum structure provides a strong recovery point when out on the trail. The hi-mount shackles are finished in a Type III mil-spec black anodized finish to help protect them against the elements. The hi-mount shackles come with a round edge design that allows for either the use of a standard metal D-ring or Soft Shackle.
The winch guard's low-profile design adds protection without obstructing your line of sight. It is made of strong 3/16" hot-rolled steel and 1 3/4" steel tubing. The guard protects the winch from damage when out on the trail while providing no loss in approach angle like typical bulky front bumpers. The winch guard comes with welded-on shackle mount recovery points for when you or others are stuck on the trail.
Note: In January 2024, we improved the shackle mount design. The "rounded edge" design allows for the use of either standard metal D-rings or soft shackles.
Note: All TJ/LJ/YJ Hoops come with weld-on shackles.
Note: Shackle mounts are engineered to be used as recovery points only; the shackle mounts are NOT designed for flat-towing.
