Overview

The Rugged Ridge Venator Front Bumper Stubby Ends (11549.64) are the perfect upgrade for Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU and Gladiator JT owners looking to transform their Venator Full Width Front Bumper into a more aggressive, trail-ready stubby configuration.

Key Features & Benefits

• Aggressive Stubby Profile – Converts your Rugged Ridge Venator Full Width Front Bumper to a stubby configuration, delivering a narrower, boulder-scaling profile that improves front-end approach angles on the trail.
• Stamped Steel Construction – Built from heavy-duty stamped steel to withstand the rigors of off-road use, resisting bends and impacts that lesser materials can't handle.
• Satin Black Powder Coat Finish – A tough, corrosion-resistant satin black powder coat finish protects against rust, moisture, and trail debris while complementing the Venator bumper's bold aesthetic.
• Seamless Venator Integration – Engineered to integrate perfectly with the Venator bumper's contours, retaining approach angles and visual style without compromising structural integrity.
• No-Drill, Bolt-On Installation – Installs using the original Venator bumper hardware — no drilling, cutting, or modification required, making swapping quick and straightforward.
• Interchangeable Design – Ends install and remove so quickly you can swap them whenever the mood or the mud strikes — ideal for switching between trail and street setups.
• 5-Year Limited Warranty – Backed by Rugged Ridge's industry-leading 5-year limited warranty through Omix-ADA® for long-term peace of mind.
• CARB Compliant – Meets California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliance requirements.
