Default Mopar off road front bumper fitment on a 2012 JK?!

I was looking to buy a Mopar offroad front bumper for my 2012, with fog and winch mount but the Mopar online store has no offroad front bumber listed for the 2012 JK. Perhaps there is a part in the way with the new engine, has anybody installed a Mopar offroad front bumper with a winch mount on a 2012? And how difficult was it to make it fit!? Thank you!

I have one on my 2011. It should be no different on your 12. You don 't get anywhere close to the engine compartment other than running the power for your winch. Also, if you look at the Call of Duty JK they are releasing this year it shows the bumper mounted on it as an optional accessory.

And by the way. It is a very nice bumper for the price. Just don't pay the dealer price. I bought my front and rear through Quadratec and even had a problem with the rear getting damaged in shipping. They took care of everything for me. Great customer service!

Can't speak to the Mopar bumper but there could be a pump in the way on the 2012s. See this thread for more deets...

What is the pump for ? Fuel ?

Does not seem to be a good idea to put a pump in that location.

Wouldn't be fuel.... Looks like a vacuum pump of some sort. Whatever it is it still shouldn't interfere with the Mopar bumper as MrJones944 also pointed out. I am using a Warn m8000 and it looks like it would still mount fine with the 2012.

Default Wow Thank you!

Thank you for the fast and accurate info, pictures and link. Exactly what I wanted to know. Now I gonna work in overtime to get extra $$ to get the Mopar offroad bumper paired with the warm m8000 I wanted with peace in mind knowing that it will fit with no or little modification.

Love your D-ring mount btw.
