Jeep Wrangler JL And Gladiator JT Front Bumper
Put a full-size recovery winch on your JL or JT without hanging a bulky bumper off the front of the Jeep. Our modular front bumper combines a 3/16-inch steel winch plate with replaceable aluminum end caps, keeping the complete bumper under 28 pounds while leaving room for proven 10,000 and 12,000-pound winches.
Jeep Wrangler JL and Jeep Gladiator JT.
Standard 10 Ć 4.5-inch, four-bolt truck-winch pattern.
Just under 28 pounds with the winch mount and Alpha end caps.
Winch Fitment
The bumper was packaged around the WARN ZEON 10-S envelope. A winch with the standard 10 Ć 4.5-inch mounting pattern still needs to fit within that physical envelope, so bolt pattern alone is not enough. The models below meet both checks.
| Winch | Published Size (L Ć D Ć H) | Mounting Pattern | Fitment Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| WARN ZEON 10-S | 24.25 Ć 7.14 Ć 10.52 in. | 10 Ć 4.5 in. | Design Envelope Original fitment benchmark. |

BADLAND APEX 12,000 Fits
The synthetic-rope BADLAND APEX 12,000 fits with its control pack installed on top, as shown. The winch uses the standard 10 Ć 4.5-inch mounting pattern and sits within the bumper’s ZEON-sized envelope.
Why the Modular Design Works
The two-piece main winch plate is cut from 3/16-inch (4.7 mm) steel. The current Alpha end caps are 1/8-inch (3 mm) 5052 aluminum. That mixed-material construction keeps steel where the winch load enters the bumper and saves weight at the outer corners.
No welding or finish grinding is required in the bumper’s construction. Sharing the front mount across our JL, JT, and JK bumper systems also lets us run common components and keep the system affordable.
Built in the USA: We design and manufacture the bumper components in-house using OEM vehicle CAD data. The result is a bolt-on, vehicle-specific system instead of a universal plate adapted after the fact.
Choose the Pieces Your Jeep Needs
- Alpha end caps: Lightweight, replaceable 5052 aluminum outer sections.
- Shackle mounts: Add D-ring recovery points to the bumper.
- Pod-light brackets: Optional aluminum mounts with main-bumper mounting hardware included.

- Replaceable modules: End caps can be changed without removing the bumper or winch.

If you have another WARN 10,000-pound model, compare its complete length, depth, height, clutch access, and control-pack location before ordering.
Will It Fit the Harbor Freight BADLAND APEX 12,000 Winch?
Yes. The synthetic-rope BADLAND APEX 12,000 fits the AAL JL/JT Modular Front Bumper with its control pack installed on top. The installed photo above shows the exact combination.
What Does the Bumper Weigh?
The steel winch mount and Alpha aluminum end caps together weigh just under 28 pounds, before adding the winch or optional accessories.
Can I Order Custom Powder Coat?
Yes. Custom colors add lead time because they require separate shop routing, handling, and packaging. See our powder-coat information before choosing a custom finish.
Is There a Version for the Jeep Wrangler JK?
Yes. The Jeep Wrangler JK Modular Front Bumper Package shares several components with this system.
