Installing The New Pritchett Canyon Frame Chop Bumper!!!

Hey guys! I finally got around to installing my new front bumper on my jeep! Honestly I think this is one of the best options on the market for a frame chop bumper. Check it out below!

DON'T BUY THIS bumper, if you have rubicon model because your sway bar disconnect motor will be totally exposed after you chop of the crash bar and there is no skid plate available for this bumper for your sway bar disconnect motor. I have hit the sway bar motor many times on the rocks And also this bumper doesn't fit if you want to rotate the sway bar motor up high.

[@jamesmarchel8386]

The best thing about this bumper is that you won’t see 100 of them that look exactly the same. Being unique with a new design is what more companies need to start doing. However, I am confused on the brand, is it by Barnes or the seven slot customs, I know you said it’s the jeep specific line. But who actually makes the products?

[@mikem5831]

First off, this needs to become a regular upload man. Call it Breakfast with Ben. Just got home after running out in the crappy rain from Chik fil a. Breakfast with Ben for the #win. Looks good. Not that it will fit my Jeep but curious about the shackle mounts, do they fully intersect the tube or are the notched to fit tube? And they look to be fully welded but can't see the backside. Also love that you show your mistakes. Watching you cut the grill I screamed NOOOO!!! At the tv knowing that the cut was going to be funky. Lol. Be there before. Great vid as always. Jeep is amazing looking. My fav JK.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I think I will start doing Saturday morning uploads!! And yeah the shackle mounts are actually the part of the plate that runs all the way to the frame, it is the main structure of the bumper. And yeah let’s just say I had a couple beers before that cut and didn’t really think about it too much 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jamesmarchel8386]

Mike M everyday!! Must have mods Monday, tech talk Tuesday, wheeling Wednesday, thinking of cool jeep stuff Thursday, flex upgrades Friday, sit down and talk with Ben Saturday’s, and leave Sunday for a day of rest 😂

[@TheBeardedJeeper]

James Marchel I would love to do that on my channel too but that's a lot of editing and uploading time. Plus he has a real job. Maybe we can get Ben to have enough subs to do this full time.

[@owilde64]

I bit my lip when you took that dermal to the grill. But it looks good Ben

[@stigwelder6142]

New bumper looks great, but! You should have sleeved the frame to stop it from crushing over time and the bumper bolts coming loose

[@allenwilson9656]

Ok ! We miss cassie ! bring her back 👐 ! bring her back 👐 ! bring her back 👐 ! bring her back 👐 !

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I know I know!!! Tell her that haha. She has been super busy with work and no time for videos 😓

[@johnmighe1543]

That really does like a lot better on your Jeep. It cleans it up

[@allenwilson9656]

Look ?

[@ryanmvieth]

For anyone watching this, Motobilt has a good picture of what needs to be cut off on their site.

[@StrmlessWolf]

Ben, that looks so good on there man! Really impressed with the craftsmanship on that bumper as it's got it's own unique design. As always, great job on the walk through on the install.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I agree! They did a great job on this bumper

[@renren2159]

Did you ever figure out how much this bumper weights?

[@TheBeardedJeeper]

That looks so good! I wish Reaper Offroad made a frame chop bumper

[@kswyg001]

Any update on the tie rod? The black marks on either side brought it to my attention.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

No updates because it’s still doing just as good as day one, there’s no reason not to switch to it. As for the black marks I’ll have to go back and watch the video to see, I know their are two black stickers on it, maybe that’s what your referring to

[@jamesmarchel8386]

kswyg my friend has had his installed for 2 months now, multiple offroad trips. I’ve seen this in action, he hits rocks with it and it’s cool to watch because it will bend and then go back perfectly straight after.

[@bdieter101]

Not sure if I missed it but how much clearance is there between the sway bar motor and the winch plate with it rotated back to the factory position? Also how far does it hang down below the bumper? Currently mine is rotated just trying to decide between the two choices of this bumper. I just order the 7 slot rear bumper which should be delivered this week and thinking I need to match them up. Awesome videos.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I will have to double check, but it actually sits right up on the sway bar hanger (rubber piece), so I think the bumper has about an inch of clearance for the motor

[@TrillNGR]

Hi dad sorry for the late comment I stole your old bumper glad you didn’t notice I put it back now though for James.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Son, I told you no more KZbin until you take the trash outside

[@troyrichards2914]

love your videos.. are you planning a tire review soon? I wanted to know how the 40s are doing and what's the highway noise like? do you think they will the be good for 30k miles?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Very soon! Want to put more miles on them so I can talk about tread wear! And yes I think they will be good out to about 30-35k miles

[@keliiauhoon1284]

I was surprised you didn’t have it yet. I put mine on a week ago. I discovered 7slotcustoms cause you posted using Barnes

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I’ve had it for a few weeks but haven’t had time to make the video haha. I’m ready for summer so I can make videos in the evenings again

[@l.t.k.f.3596]

Are you still using the same sunpie lights from two years ago? I was thinking of using them. Sweet bumper!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Yep! Lol

[@dommagana4537]

Wait I’m confused you can’t use the electronic disconnect anymore?

[@200Johnnyboy]

A Ben it’s a vacuum pump in the bumper.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Damn, I meant to say that lol. Not sure why I said evap

[@LTUSATV]

LOVE that bumper!

[@jhite69]

Hey Ben, I have that motobilt bumper you replaced. Do you think you couldve cut the top plate and dropped the winch down into it? Obviously reinforce whatever needs to be.

[@noahlarsen6467]

I love the looks of this bumper, I do have a question, do you think it’s possible to mount pod lights behind each of the 4 holes? Just think it would look sick with 4 hidden radiance pods lol. Love the channel and the jeeps!!

[@whyyoumad413]

so with the terra flex sway bar kit you cant run a frame chop bumper can you?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I don’t think so with that sway bar, we’ll that’s at least what they say. You could see if you could modify it or the bumper to work

[@cadenrivera24]

What fenders are those

[@brolim.]

is there a front bumper option similar to this that does not require to cut the frame?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

They do have a bolt on, it is a full width though.

[@caroleertel2961]

That looks great 👍🏻

[@AmenMoto]

New subscriber, enjoying the content. Keep on Jeepin’

[@jm3287]

I like the look of the front and rear bumper. But I also like the new motobilt frame chop too.

[@kaishiden6181]

Would it be possible to fit this bumper on a JL?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

They make a JL version. Also, the discount code jkgear should still work 🤟

[@joshua3340]

Looks sick! Kinda miss the stinger though lol

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I really do like stingers, but wanted too change it up a little bit.

[@patan77]

Man, thanks a ton for doing this install video, I just got lucky and got this bumper for 100 bucks brand new. But I was not aware I had to cut the frame. Id rather have it sit further away than where you had it, if you had to. Cut the frame yourself to fit the big winch without cutting the grille, how much would you have cut off the frame? Do you think the 12k wicnh from harbor freights will fit with this bumper? That's my project for mine. Thanks man for the detailed video. Great watch!

[@ycongkenneth]

Did you ever fit the harbor freight 12k winch on this bumper?

[@tfrye008]

Looks awesome!

[@tman_2176]

First

[@dustinrobbins2685]

Hey Ben! I love the channel and have watched almost all of your videos! I’ve been planning to run the whole Pritchett series armor as well! I do have a few questions though; I have the sunpie led fog lights, (the only halfway decent lights they have) will they be able to mount into this bumper or are they too big?

[@dustinrobbins2685]

They are the stock style fog lights

[@ht1973]

Those shackle mounts look a little thin

[@tylerchupp2446]

What are you doing with your old bumper? Considered selling it?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Sorry, i sold it a while back

[@miken9484]

Nice install video 👍 What are you gonna do with the old bumper?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

My buddy James has already called dibs on it

[@jlangful]

Did you rattle can that bumper or have it powder coated?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Rattle can

[@kmdvideos8208]

Ben question for ya I’m running 5 inches of lift on my jku you think I could squeeze in some 40’s I’m already geared to 513 and have the axle upgrades complete. Wheels are 20x10 so I believe they are plenty wide. I’m not running flat fenders and don’t care to just not my style.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

You should be able to, your only issues will be the fenders and the wheel backspacing (but spacers will help if you have issues)

[@kmdvideos8208]

JK Gear and Gadgets thanks man you always reply so quickly. Love the videos you put out. Keep up the good work.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

What size tires are you running now?

[@kmdvideos8208]

I’m running 35’s and have a mile of fender clearance

[@TheTorchCut]

Looks awesome man!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Thanks man!

[@oovlocityoo2671]

hi Ben, what is your fenders from?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

They are MCE

[@RD-hn6ut]

What’s the weight of it ?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

45ish pounds, which isn’t extremely light, but still a ton lighter than other bumpers on the market

[@RD-hn6ut]

Awesome
