MetalCloak 46in Crawler Caps — front bumper end caps, Jeep Wrangler JK / JL and Gladiator JT
End caps for the MetalCloak Combo (Frame-Built) bumper base. They set the bumper's width, how much it covers, and how it behaves against an obstacle. Installed, the assembly measures 46in end to end.
Construction
- CNC formed with zero welds — no weak point to crack
- 1/8in cold rolled steel
- Built-in approach angles — the cap slides over an obstacle instead of catching
- No fog light pockets — the shorter form buys clearance and approach angle; the factory lamps go unused
- MetalCloak black textured powder coat
- Easily removable — replace a damaged cap yourself without touching the base
What they fit
The JK Combo bumper base (part no. 3160, which we stock) and the JL / JT Gladiator Combo base. This is a modular part — the same base takes any winch guard, stinger, bull bar, fairlead or plate adapter you like.
⚠ Pre-configured builds with base and caps together are listed separately — the Frame-Built no. 1200 / 1400 / 1500 series. If you are building from scratch, the complete kit works out cheaper than the parts.
⚠ Bumpers bought before May 2014
In May 2014 the manufacturer updated the JK Frame-Built system. These caps may not fit bases bought before then. If you are extending an older setup, contact us before ordering.

FAQ
Is this a complete bumper?
No. These are end caps for the Combo base (MC3160), which is a separate item.
Do I keep the factory fog lights?
No. The Crawler version is shorter and has no fog light pockets. If you want to keep them, choose the 49in or 56in Light Caps.
Do they fit the JL and Gladiator?
Yes, on the MetalCloak Combo base for those models.
Can I change caps later?
Yes — that is the point of the modular system. The caps bolt on.
