RockTrix Black Front Brush Guard Tall 5.8in Clearance - Winch Guard

In this review the RockTrix Black Front Brush Guard is evaluated as a straightforward, heavy-duty replacement grille guard for owners of late-model Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT vehicles with the Mopar steel Rubicon bumper. The bottom line: this part is for buyers who want a direct-fit steel brush guard that protects the grille and a front winch from road and offroad debris while matching factory finish. Installation is fast and uses existing factory bolts, making it an attractive upgrade for owners who need protection without drilling or extensive modification.

Key Features

• Direct fit: Designed specifically to replace part 82215351 and bolt to Mopar factory steel Rubicon bumpers for a correct, secure fit.
• Winch protection: The tall 5.82in clearance provides space to clear a winch while shielding the winch and grille from impact and debris.
• Durable steel construction: Made of high strength steel to resist bending and absorb impacts during offroad use.
• Corrosion resistance: Electrophoretic satin black coating helps prevent rust and keeps the guard looking factory-matched.
• Quick installation: Uses the existing six factory bolts with no drilling required and installs in minutes for minimal downtime.
• OEM compatibility: Fits 2018+ Jeep Wrangler JL and 2019+ Gladiator JT with factory Mopar Rubicon steel bumpers and specified bumper part numbers.

Who It's For

This grille guard is best for Jeep JL and JT owners who have the factory Mopar steel Rubicon bumper and want a sturdy, bolt-on solution to protect the front end and a mounted winch. It suits drivers who prefer a near-OEM look and a satin black finish that matches the steel bumper paint.

It is not for owners with plastic bumpers, aftermarket bumpers, or older JK models; the guard requires preinstalled factory bumper mounting bolts and will not fit bumpers without those attachment points.
