Step up your Jeep’s protection and utility with the Smittybilt XRC Gen1 Front Bumper and Rear Bumper with Hitch. These rugged bumpers are engineered to back you through rocks, recoveries, and off-road demands — but each has a specific platform fit you need to know.
- Smittybilt XRC Gen1 Front Bumper — Compatible with 2018+ JL / JLU and 2020+ Gladiator JT.
- Smittybilt XRC Gen1 Rear Bumper w/ Hitch — Fits 2018+ JL / JLU.

Why Upgrade Both (or One)
If you’re running a JL / JLU, pairing both bumpers gives you balanced protection front and rear — plus towing, utility, and rugged styling.
If you’re in a Gladiator JT, you can confidently use the XRC Gen1 Front Bumper for maximum front-end capability, while noting that the XRC Rear Bumper isn’t compatible for your rear frame.
