Bought one, will be installing today on the 2021 Jeep Talk Show Gladiator, and why I'm back watching this video again to get prepared.

[@northridgenation]

Awesome, let us know how you like it.

[@stevehaddix4603]

Just installed mine yesterday after prepping and raptor coating it first. This video was incredibly helpful in walking through the steps, and the bumper itself is a tank. Even the bottom of the bumper has a large shelf to help protect . Definitely get the optional side mount brackets, in combination they make for an incredibly rugged mounting to take on any type of abuse.

[@northridgenation]

How do you like it?

[@Billrovid]

Its my favorite bumper for the gladiator. Great choice

[@organicmechanic8170]

@Northridge4x4 this bumper looks incredible and I'm having a hard time deciding between it or FabFours full coverage rear bumper with integrated side step. Both are very similar in price point and function but design is where they greatly differ! Really liking the crusher the more and more I see it. Definitely need something with full wrap around protection. Awesome video and anyone complaining about it not being "Bolt-on only",which it totally is since there is zero welding required, is just afraid to get out of their own comfort zone....my 14 year old daughter could make that cut! Salute!

[@jeannedosterwise2105]

not sure if my last comment went posted. So I'll say it again. This would make for a perfect overland Science research Vehicle. Perfect and Beyound.

[@rickbarmore1167]

Awesome bumper and I'm 99% sure I'll be getting one for the gladiator I just bought. But, you did have me laughing so hard with the comment: Can't wait to see it in action? Lol You sold me on it and I also can't wait till I get one to put it I. Action as well.. You rock 🤠 ✌🏻🌠

[@jeepdogjl8687]

I would like to see a side view of the bumper. I want to see how far it wraps around to protect the sides of the bed.

[@shooterg2071]

Just bought one, it wraps all the way around almost to the fender, super nice!

[@TurfTavernX]

I think it’s awesome 🔝🙌

[@JTRSpartacus]

Thanks! Wonder how this compares to the Rubicon rock rails for protection? Looking forward to seeing more. #jtrspartacus

[@shooterg2071]

Rubicon rock rails will bend up into the body causing damage. This wont. Super psyched, as I just took delivery of mine!!

[@baseballcapdubs]

@@shooterg2071 If there's ever a nuclear strike near your Jeep, that bumper will still be there. :) (Also let's hope there's never a nuclear strike near your Jeep!)

[@VetJeeper]

Love it!🤟

[@Billrovid]

You want to check it for plumb not level.

[@justind33]

what lights fit in the back of that bumper? The aftermarket lights that fit in the stock bumper where the reflectors are clearly won't fit. Thanks!

[@northridgenation]

Motobilt doesn't offer or recommend a specific light for that cutout. That said, we have fit small 2" size lights in there.

[@mattbrew11]

Can I run this rear light bar if I have a trailer brake controller, with and without a trailer hooked up?

[@timlund1709]

Yes you can. The Putco Blade is a plug and play system. Just make sure to get the Quick Connect harness to go with it.

[@mattbrew11]

Tim Lund thank you. I’ve heard that sometimes accessories designed to use the trailer harness can get burned up when using a TBC

[@phillyb4588]

If u r trimming it’s not a BOLT ON BUMPER

[@juancasanova2449]

Too many modifications in my opinion for the typical home installation. I think it needs to go back to the engineering board...other than that it's very nice.

[@gerard0l6569]

Prett nice bumper, but at $1,500 + you have to power coat it, I’ll PASS.
