Smittybilt 76740D SRC Classic Front Bumper with D-Ring Mounts and Shackles for 1976-2006 Jeep® Wrangler TJ/YJ/LJ

Pros: The bumper looks great and feels stout, especially for the low price it goes for. The paint is applied well with no bubbling or cracking. The install was super easy, with only one minor adjustment for fitment, which is pretty typical of parts made for 2 body styles of Jeeps, TJ and YJ. Cons: That minor adjustment was grinding down the washers so the bolt holes lined up on the top side of the bumper. I had to grind about half of the washer wall on one side to make these fit. All in all, this only added about 5 minutes to the install, so not a big deal. The bigger issue is that while this does use all 6 factory mounting bolts, 2 of the top ones are only going through a washer so they aren't actually helping with horizontal loads on the bumper, like, say, a D ring being used as a winch point. Instead of 3 bolts holding, it's really only 2 for each side. The factory tow hooks do act as a link for the bumper to the bolts in the back, but that is a weaker connection than if the bolt holes were attached to the bumper itself. That's probably enough for most applications, but it's something to keep in mind if you're going to put a lot of stress on the D rings.

Very well built, fit perfect. Didn't want the overly done bumpers that everyone has. This is simple and looks great. Won't find a better bumper for the money

Super easy install. Start spraying PB Blaster on the bolts on your current bumper the day you order this one, you'll regret not doing so after you round out a T50 head. Not a whole lot to this one. Very sturdy, came with the D-rings, for less than $150 you wont find a better bumper. I've heard the powder coating leaves something to be desired so I'm interested to see how it holds up. As far as recovery goes, this bumper will have 0 issues getting snatched around by other vehicles.

Very easy to install and looks great on my Jeep TJ! I only have one issue. The bumper arrived in well packed packing but some how the left side corner of bumper was damaged or something was missed while applying the finish. The left corner of bumper has a 2 inch chip of finish missing.

Good solid bumper and was a direct fit , love the old school simplicity of the look. I had to drill 2 holes for my winch plate but it only added 5 minutes to the job. Overall great sturdy bumper for the price

I previously ordered a discounted damaged box Smittybilt stainless tubular bumper but it was also damaged. Sent it back then ordered this one, it too was marked down as "used but in great shape." Because it's a heavy duty one piece bumper and not hollow stainless steel it was just fine. Installed in only 10 minutes. I like the slim design and the attached D-Rings, but should something happen up front I feel I have a solid bumper up there to take care of business. It replaced the original bumper which had some damage to the right side by a minor fender bender from previous owner, kind of ugly so I wanted to replace it. The original bumper is at least half the weight of this one, so even though it's slim I feel that it's sturdy. Can add a winch plate and winch later if I decide to, but for those looking to buy the bumper the photos showing those items are only for future installation purposes, doesn't come with them. The bumper is highly recommended. Thanks Smittybilt!

This bumper was easy to install and all of the holes lined up correctly. I replaced the factory bumper with this one and there is no comparison. This bumper also has the tow mounts already welded on. Looks cool too. Use the included spacers if you're mounting on a TJ. I purchased Grade 8 bolts and that was a good idea.

Great bumper for my Jeep. Fit great. Good quality. Not too heavy. Perfect for protecting my Jeep as I cruise the shopping mall jungle.

Excellent quality looks really great. Was a direct fit for my 1981 Jeep CJ five very happy with the shackles comes with all the hardware except for mounting plate for a winch.

I wanted something simple and functional to replace my factory bumper on my 2004 TJ. This worked perfectly. Easy to install.

bumper was great shipping was terrible didnt ship till the day it was supposed to arrive showed up a week late

Solid, easy install. Love it!
