Looks good, heavy duty
This grill guard comes already assembled with the light bar and could not be more easy to install! The actual guard itself took about ten minutes start to finish, and the wiring is standard for Bronco mods. I am so impressed with the value for the money. Looks and feels heavy duty.

Great idea
It looks great but the quality isn’t the best, only uses 4 of the 8 bolts on a 5th gen 4Runner and the stainless steel bolts that come with don’t have any purchase on the tubes themselves

This is what your JEEP deserves!!
Look at the way this front guard provides protection and outstanding looks! The LED lights are functional as I can see better on our country roads. Fear not so much to hit a deer anymore. This is a head turner! Other JEEP people get pretty jealous! Buy it and you’ll see how amazing it really is in person! I recommend this product. Get something that will set you apart from the others!

This Vangaurd bumper is well made. A few burrs on the welds. Lights cheap but do the job.

It does fit the 2 door
I recently purchased this rack. I have a ‘21 JL 2 door. It does fit. Actually think it looks better on a 2 door. It does catch a little wind and the gas tank doesn’t like it. Other than that I Love it.

Installation requires modification and extra tools
FOR AWARENESS: Per the Manufacturers installation instructions(which are not available online), you are required to A) drill holes in the bed rails of the truck(3 on each side), permanently modifying the bed, and then B) use supplied rivet nuts in those drilled holes in order to mount the product to the Jeep. This requires an additional tool, a rivet nut insert tool, to be purchased/rented/borrowed in order to complete the installation, and you should also have a de-burring tool and some sealing primer or touch up paint for the holes after you drill them out in order to clean up the install and prevent rusting in the future. This is not called out either on XT item page, nor the Manufacturer's product page. The rating for install should really be more than 1 wrench because of the permanent modification required to install and paint touch up required, time to install should be more than 1 hour as you need to let the paint dry from the holes you have to drill to prevent future rusting, and is NOT a "Direct Bolt-on" part since it requires modification of the body in order to install. If the mounting method was more like Vanguard's other products, and similar products from other Manufacturers, and used the threaded mounting locations for the Jeep bed rail system, this whole kerfuffle could be avoided completely. If these items were addressed it would easily be a 4.5-5 star item, but have to deduct stars for not being forthright about requirements for installation or having documentation available from the manufacturer prior to delivery since the correct instructions are included in the box with the item. Side Note: XT should have some way to submit suggestions for updating product info on the site, but that is not factored into the rating.
