For drivers who want added front-end defense without giving up clearance, the Artec Industries Sentinel front bumper with tube stinger is built to take hits and keep moving. Designed for Jeep JL, JT, and JK platforms, this heavy-duty bumper is formed from 3/16 inch steel and engineered with a low-profile, high-clearance shape that tucks tight to the frame.
The result is improved approach angle and better obstacle clearance while maintaining the strength needed for real trail abuse. The integrated tube stinger adds another layer of frontal protection and helps guard against trail hazards, steep descents, and unexpected contact, all while giving the bumper a clean, aggressive stance.
When it comes time to recover, the Sentinel is equipped with reinforced, integrated recovery points built for winching and snatch recoveries you can trust. Winch integration is purpose-built.
The bumper supports a recessed winch mount option (JL5611) with an integrated fairlead opening, keeping the winch protected and centered for cleaner packaging and optimal pulling angles. Up front, integrated auxiliary light mounts place your lighting where it is most effective, improving visibility for night runs, dust, and low-light overland travel.
Installation stays simple: the Sentinel is a direct bolt-on bumper with no drilling or vehicle modifications required. It is finished in a textured black powder coat over a zinc primer to help resist corrosion and hold up in harsh environments.
If you want a bumper that blends clearance, recovery capability, and added protection in one cohesive package, the Sentinel with Tube Stinger is built for the job.
Features:
- 3/16 inch steel construction
- Heavy-duty strength for impact protection and demanding off-road use.
- High-clearance, tight-to-frame profile
- Improves approach angle and obstacle clearance without adding unnecessary bulk.

- Secure, forward placement for improved visibility on the trail.
- Direct bolt-on installation
- No drilling or vehicle modifications required for straightforward mounting.

Select your lift size in Step 1 — the kit ships with the correct geometry for that height. If you’re running a non-standard setup, call us before ordering and we’ll confirm compatibility.
Death wobble is a geometry problem, not just worn parts. Cruise Series corrects caster angle and eliminates the flex points that let shimmy start. Replacing one part at a time delays the fix — this replaces the geometry.
Yes, if you’ve done a lift kit before. Full-day project. Watch the complete JT install walkthrough on our YouTube channel — most owners wrap it in a day. Any off-road shop can run it if you’d rather have it done.
Any non-wear component fails — we replace it. No mileage cap. No maintenance intervals to track. No fine print about voiding if you miss a service. Lifetime means lifetime.
Teraflex’s lifetime warranty voids if you miss a maintenance interval. MetalCloak’s actual parts warranty is 12 months — their “lifetime” language refers to their service program. No conditions here.

We have all shopped places where the person on the phone makes you feel like they don't have the time to talk to you the customer or answer your questions. I can tell you first hand that's not Core 4x4. They have the best customer service I have seen so far. They have taken the time to respond to all of my questions in a very prompt and professional manner, taking the time to answer each and every question I have had. Lets put it this way if Core 4x4 sells a product I am wanting for my truck I will buy it from them, I highly recommend Core 4x4.

I have a 2016 RAM 1500 Crew Cab and I replaced the rear upper and lower control arms also the pan hard track bar and also the sway bar and links for the rear with all I had the articulating bushings. The vehicle now has no body role. They are absolutely incredible if you get the control arms you gotta get the CORE 4 x 4sway bar end links don’t don’t try and be cheap and get Moog or something else you got to get articulating bushings get the core 4 x 4 ones they are the best. My truck drives now through the canyons like a BMW. I have Fox high-performance shocks on there as well with all the CORE 4 x 4 suspension parts and they are amazing. Well worth the money I would highly recommend anybody thinking about CORE 4 x 4 go with CORE 4X4 and if you can go with their articulating bushings, they’re unbelievable drives better now than my Escalades. Well planted no body role and smooth on the Highway unbelievable the difference they all made!!
THANKS AGAIN CORE 4x4!!!!

The parts are a massive improvement over factory. I accidentally ordered the wrong endlinks and they helped me figure out the correct size and sent me new ones.
Definitely an awesome store

I purchased upper and lower adjustable arms for my WJ and lowers were missing the spacers. I didn't know until 3 months later when I was installing them. With absolutely zero hassles they quickly sent me the missing spacers. Fantastic product and service! Huge thank you guys for the awesome service and parts!!! Customer service is quickly becoming a lost commodity and you guys gave me hope that it's still alive and well, you just have to buy from the right people... Thanks again for going above and beyond! 👍👍

Have full upper/lower CA set on both front and rear axles on a 96 ZJ. These are the rubber bushing sets not joint sets. I have beat the hell out it in the Nevada desert for 2 years and has been great. I don’t go fast but I do articulate suspension a lot. Super solid and haven’t any issues. Just inspected the entire set recently due to some banging under it. Turns out the banging is lower rear shock bushings. Inspected each CA along the way nothing. Aside from dirt and obviously winter roads and what not still in excellent condition, bushings are solid like the day they were installed. I’ll add that I’m about tapped on a short arm at 4.25(less with settle) so the front CA’s get beat on just from that, still they’re like new. Paint is great condition, this set is red. I would definitely buy again. Another plus for me, Utah isn’t local necessarily, but it’s nice to support businesses closer to me.

Great products they sell, got a crawl series long arm kit for my xj and it has held up quite nice, they are beefy, and for what ever reason they fail it has a great warranty with a customer service to match, when someone asks what control arm kit to buy I always recommend core 4x4
