Aries Front Bumper
Image by Matt Finley
The Aries front bumper replacement for a Jeep Wrangler is a great looking bumper. It's got these 'flares' that bend back towards the tires and up, and there are tube guards that go over the headlight and hang off without support or a loop back down to the bumper.
Pretty awesome looking for sure, but how does it function as a bumper? Was the install as easy as it sounds?
Find out that and more by reading my review of the Aries Replacement Front Bumper for 2011 Jeep Wrangler.

If you get lost, have a mechanical failure, or wreck and hurt yourself you'll wish you had a friend nearby to call for help or to carry you safely back to camp if you are stranded. Too many things can go wrong to risk riding alone.
Even something as simple as getting stuck in the mud or sand can turn into a life threatening ordeal when you're by yourself. If you don't have the strength to get unstuck yourself. Remember; even light-weight sport ATV's with a full tank of fuel and oil will be around 400-450 lbs...read more.
