Garvin 34923 Wilderness Jeep Front Bumper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Things sometimes happen in the strangest ways. For some time I had been waiting for an opportunity to purchase an aftermarket front bumper. There were some very specific things I was looking for in a front bumper:
clevis mounting tabs
recessed 2" receiver hitch
wide enough to protect the front fenders
light weight
One bumper met most of these requirements - The Garvin Wilderness Jeep Bumper. I figured sooner or later I'd get one and wasn't in a big hurry. Then one day I was in too much of a hurry to get out of my driveway and I drove into the side of a speeding minivan. The net result was moderate front end damage, including enough damage to the front bumper that the body shop decided to replace.
My mind started working: If I let them put the new factory bumper and rubber part on, I would be back to status quo and still be waiting for a new front bumper.
So I looked up the Garvin bumper and found that I was going to have to pony up a weeks worth of lunch money to span the difference between what the insurance company was paying and the asking price. So I skipped lunch for a week (not really...) and ordered the Garvin bumper.
While waiting for the bumper to arrive, I ordered two more d-shackles, to match the two I have mounted on the rear bumper.
Installation of the bumper was pretty easy. I removed the winch plate mounting bolts from the frame and tow hooks. Then I snuck the bumper onto the frame. Lining up the holes was a little interesting for me because the frame was tweaked in the accident. Even though they straightened it on a high-tech frame machine, I had to fiddle with everything to get it lined up well enough to thread the bolts into place.
I am very pleased with the results. It's simple yet effective, matches well with my rear bumper, provides the tow points and receiver hitch capabilities that I wanted!
