    5.0 Great product

    I was looking for a good bumper for my 79CJ5 for a long time and this allowed me to use the bumper i wanted. It was easy to install and works great.

    5.0 Easy install. And works great.

    I had been waiting for Poison Spyder to release a Gladiator Bumper to match my PSC Bruizer front bumper. I called them a few months ago and they told me they were just going to make an adapter to use a JL bumper. Well looks like Smittybilt beat them to it. Pretty simple install. Works great. You do have to relocate your license plate. But theybprovide a mount and lights with the kit.

    5.0 Works great. I would recommend

    Easy installation. Required enlarging a couple of holes on the frame. Direct bolt up, plenty of hardware included. Only wish similar brackets were made for the rear.

    Question & Answers

    6 Answered questions

    Q: Would this allow for a tire carrier bumper and the tailgate to function properly? Answer this question

    A: No, We do not have/offer a tire carrier for the JT.

    Answered by Kelly from 4WP Corporate Headquarters on 03/30/2021

    Q: What about tow ratings? I am very interest in this due to the fact there are very few rear bumpers being built today for the JT with a tire carrier that can safely accommodate a 39-40" tire that won't block the rear tail lights. Towing is critical to me Answer this question

    A: The 78701K maintains the vehicles tow rating, it would be the bumper that you mount to it to be concerned about.
