Maximus-3 Wrangler 10A-RubiconX-HardRock Bumper Mods

In 2013 Jeep released a special model Rubicon to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the model. This model had extra features including steel front and rear bumpers, a first for the JK.

If you own a JK Wrangler that is a 10th Anniversary (2013), Rubicon X (2014), or Rubicon Hard Rock (2015-2017) running the stock steel 10A bumper and would like to spruce it up Maximus-3 makes some beautiful additions that retain the factory look and style while adding function.

We decided on the X hoop, winch mount, fog light brackets, and synthetic line hook anchor. These components along with a Warn VR10-S winch and some 6″ off road lights will set off the front of the jeepfan.com 2016 JK RHR.

Part Numbers:

0400-007XHO – X Style Hoop

0400-011P-CV – Centered Winch Mount

0400-020ALB – Light Brackets

0400-024WHA – Winch Hoop Anchor (Synthetic Line Only)

0400-015FTP-S – Standard Filler Plates

In addition to the Maximus-3 parts we are installing a Warn VR10-S winch and a set of KC HiLites Pro Sport with Gravity LED Model 644 lights we picked up from Quadratec.

Note: This setup will also fit JK Wranglers equipped with the 10A style bumper like the 75th Anniversary Edition

Installation

Installation takes about 4 hours and requires a minimal amount of cutting of the area where the fairlead mounts.

You should follow the instructions provided by Maximus-3, they are very complete. We will add tips along the way.

The 10A style bumper was introduced in 2014.

To remove the filler piece drive a drywall screw into the push fastener.

Pull the fastener out with a pair of pliers.

With the right angle the filler will come out. It will not be reused but should be saved.

Disconnect the driving lights by squeezing the retainer clip and pulling.

It’s easiest to remove the inner bumper bolts with the top filler plate removed. Use a torx wrench to remove the bolts and plate. Following the filler plate remove the lower skid plate and finally the inner bumper nuts. The bumper should pull free of the Jeep.
