Aries Replacement Front Bumper for 2011 Jeep Wrangler

One of the first mods on a Jeep Wrangler is a front bumper, usually right after tires and a lift or maybe rock guards. By installing a new bumper on your Jeep you can add to the functionality and customize it for your own taste or requirements.

This how-to will show you how to remove the original factory Jeep Wrangler front bumper and replace it with an Aries modular front bumper.

There are many different manufacturers to choose from and I urge you to shop around and find a design that YOU like. Or in some cases, design your own.

If you are buying on-line I suggest you check the details and deal with reputable vendors. Some manufacturers ship their equipment already plated with a protective finish, usually paint, powder coat or a textured lining similar to Rhino Lining.

The first equipment we bought was a set of rock guards. They were advertised and shown as pre-finished but upon receipt they were bare metal. There was no mention of the finish, or lack of finish in this case. I assumed from the price and lack of mention that they were already painted.
