  • UPGRADE YOUR JEEP JK BUMPER
  • CUSTOMIZE YOUR JEEP
    • DISCLAIMER
      • For many Jeep owners, the factory bumpers may not suit their needs. Mopar bumpers constructed from thin plastic and steel just dont cut it. The factory bumpers were created with road safety in mind and may not hold up for off-road fun!

      • Theres a big market for upgraded Jeep Wrangler JK front bumpers, especially those with parts from DV8 Off-Road. For extra protection, theres plenty of different options to customize a Jeep. These can be everything from the totally restyled Fab Fours Grumpier to a simple double-tube style.

      • Jeep modification is part of the joy of these vehicles. Here are the top five reasons you should upgrade Jeep Wrangler JK front bumpers.
      PROTECTION
      • Trail riding is a popular pastime for many Jeep owners, and once they start doing it, its hard to stop the action. When theyre out there the front and back of the Jeep are going to get dinged up. Whether its tree branches, hit with rocks, or covered in mud. Most owners need extra protection.

      • The factory bumpers, while designed to be safe for roadway travel, arent set up to withstand off-roading for too long. Aftermarket Jeep Wrangler JK Front Bumpers are made from heavier duty steel specifically constructed to protect the body of the Jeep from heavier impacts. Theres a bonus for those who use a Jeep to drive in daily life too. A heavier bumper protects from careless drivers.
      MOUNTING SELECTIONS
      • Adding a sturdier bumper with options for winch-mounting can help get out of a bind when off-roading. Do it often enough and its a pretty sure thing that many may need a winch to help you get rolling again. When youre looking at a new aftermarket bumper, make sure that the one you want can accommodate your new Jeep winch.

      • Besides having options for winches, most Jeep bumpers can also house many different accessories. These can be helpful for outdoor fun or helping a neighbor get out of a ditch. Things like hi-lift jacks, front or rear license plates, D-ring shackles, and auxiliary lighting can add value to your Jeep.
      VEHICLE RECOVERIES & BETTER TIRE CLEARANCE
      • A winch can be a valuable tool for recovering a vehicle thats run off the road. Winches arent the only tool you can have for recovery, though. The right bumper can help with heavier tows. For example, many upgraded Jeep JK Rear Bumpers also have a shackle mount on each corner. These allow you to attach a tow rope or chain. This can help dig out a Jeep thats stuck in the snow or mud. Worst case scenario, you can even use the D-rings to tow the vehicle home or to an auto repair shop.

      • Dont just rush off for those perfect aftermarket Jeep Wrangler JK front bumpers. First, pick one that can fit around the tires of the Jeep. For owners who upgraded their tires, its important to ask what bumpers can accommodate them.

      • For people who use their Jeep for regular daily driving, a full-width bumper should fit fine. These extend the entire face of the vehicle but wont affect the clearance of the tires.

      • Off-roading, though, larger tires may lead to a higher tire articulation. When drivers are clearing obstacles, the Jeep JK Wheels can press into the front bumper and can be dangerous. A bumper that doesnt fully extend around the body of the Jeep is a better bet here. Shorter bumpers reduce the limits on the tires and make it easier to negotiate around tricky angles.
      APPEARANCE
      • There are many practical reasons to buy a new bumper for a Jeep. But, lets not forget what so many people love about these trucks – the style. Having the right bumper can add to the appearance of your Jeep kit. A great bumper sets off elevated tires and aggressive wheels. It can enhance the appearance for those that had a lift kit, or just generally catch the eye.

      • There are a ton of options, and some of the best come from DV8 Off-Road. Jeep owners have choices on style, size, color, and design. There are so many options for accessory attachments, too like the winches or bigger lighting.

      • Customizing your Jeep can be one of the most fun parts of ownership. For parts that will last through the toughest things thrown at a Jeep, pick parts from DV8 Off-Road. They use the best materials and the highest quality techniques to create the best Jeep aftermarket bumpers and accessories.
    • NEW LEVEL
      • Jeep is one of the most reliable automotive brands when it comes to performance, ride quality, and handling. However, you can take your vehicle to a new level by customizing the interior and exterior. Customizing your Jeep boosts not only its performance but also its overall appearance. Deciding on what extras to add to your Jeep can be a serious decision, especially if you are upgrading it to take it off-road. Here are some easy and creative ways to customize your Jeep JK.
      LIFT IT UP & PICK THE RIGHT WHEELS
      • Although Jeeps can handle a lot of roads ranging from rocky and muddy roads to trails, lifting it up ensures you can overcome more off-roading obstacles. A proper lift increases clearance, approach angle, break-over angle, and departure angle so you dont get stuck when driving over bigger things. Make sure you get a quality Jeep Lift Kit to help you cruise on different terrains.

      • Once youve lifted up your Jeep, consider upgrading your Jeep Wrangler’s Rims to match the lifted frame. Larger tires are not only great for any road but also enhance the appearance of your vehicle. Make sure that the wheels you pick can handle off-roading as well as any other uses you put them to. You may also need to upgrade your brakes so they can handle the larger tires.
      PROTECT YOUR LIGHTS & PICK A GOOD WINCH
      • When off-roading in the dark, a broken headlight or taillight is not something you want to experience. Although Jeeps come with a solid lighting system that provides impressive visibility, you may want to add a set of Bright LED Lights to enhance your driving ability and experience. These lights help you anticipate obstacles along your path and alert other drivers of your status. Spend some money on Jeep Light Guards to save yourself the enormous hassle of replacing your front and rear lights.

      • Theres always a chance of getting stuck in a hole or getting a bent suspension when you take your Jeep off-road. To minimize the inconvenience and save yourself from a costly towing bill, do not leave home without a Winch for your Jeep Wrangler. Pick a winch that can haul your Jeep one and a half times over to cover for the resistance and sticky mud that could be holding you back. A good line is essential, as well.
      INVEST IN ROCK SLIDERS & UPGRADE THE DRIVESHAFT
      • Regardless of how you use your Jeep, investing in Rock Sliders is a great way to upgrade the vehicle. If you go off-roading frequently, there is no doubt you get dings and scratches on your vehicle. Rock sliders prevent rocks from sneaking up between the wheels, effectively helping to protect the frame from damage. They also offer protection against trees and other vehicles that swing their doors open too hard in the parking lot.

      • The driveshaft is the core of your drive system. As such, you should consider upgrading your driveshaft so that it complements the lifted suspension and larger tires. Failure to do this could see you getting trapped on the trail with a snapped driveshaft, making a push or a tow necessary. Lifting your Jeep without upgrading the driveshaft may force the latter into the exhaust pipes, resulting in bigger problems.
      DIFFERENTIAL LOCKS
      • The Jeep Wrangler is a great vehicle, both on and off-road. While some of the newer JK Wrangler models come with differential locks, most do not. As such, if you want to do anything moderately challenging, like climbing over obstacles, you should have Differential Locks installed. These locks ensure the power from the engine is transferred equally to the wheels. This helps you get out of muddy ruts much more easily.
