| Front bumper suggestion for Jeep Gladiator body
I have the Pro-Line Jeep Gladiator body with a VS-4 front bumper. Obviously it sticks out quite a bit, so I'm looking for suggestions for bumpers that is far shorter/closer to the frame. Something like ScalerFab Bull Bar but even closer to the frame. |

I’d say any of the cheapy ebay bumpers that mount to the exterior of the frame rails would suit you nicely. Something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/164170870844 |

Ordered this Injora bumper from Amazon but it won't be here until May 6th. I realized Pro-Line has its own bumper that would fit too since they use it in the body's picture. I may ended up getting those since it will accommodate a light bar easily. |

I ended up ordering the Yeah Racing bumper. The posts fits fine but the bumper still stick out a fair bit, not much of improvement from the VS4-10 bumper. So I remove the posts and just line up the bumper against the bumper mount, mark the holes, and drill two new holes in the top of the bumper. Now it sits flush! I need to get some longer screws and lock nuts to ensure firm fit. VS4-10 bumper: Yeah Racing with posts: Yeah Racing with drilled holes: |
