Looking at replacing my stock rear bumper the Rusty’s with side protection. Any thoughts or reviews?

That is by far the best looking rear bumper out there. I also like the bumpers for the front from them.

I like it and thought about getting it until I saw I needed to buy the mopar side pieces that the bumpers sides attach to. If you have a Rubicon you don't need to buy them.

Damn now I want to get a new bumper.. well it's better looking and better price than the other one's I have looked at and I could drive down to pick it up. His rear corner guards might have be got at least.

I have had this bumper along with the Series 2 front bumper and a couple other small things in my cart there for over a week. If it wasnt for the over 600 in shipping I would or probably already ordered. This is one of the few bumpers that provides protection for the rear bed sides & unlike the FabFours one it doesnt look stupid (I know some people may be into the steps, but I dont dig it at all).

Cool. Are you going to get a rear bumper for yours?

Edit: You answered my question while I was posting this.

lol I was responding when it notified that there was a new post.

I am torn between the rustys & the Expedition One base rear bumper. The Rustys ends up actually being way more expensive because I could drive to get the other. But I do like the asthetics of the rustys along with its matching front a better.

I like Rusty's. I bought an ARB Bullbar for my '94 Cherokee from them way back in 2001. I think at the time it was $564 and they had it at the lowest price. I like their rear bumper but decided to go with a mid-priced bumper in the Iron Cross GP-2004 from 4WD.com and got 10% off with the 4wd10 coupon and also got free shipping. It may take extra time to ship with the covid-19 causing delays which I don't mind. But that Expedition One is nice too since it has the lights.

The Iron Cross, the fishbone & both DV8 rear bumpers I keep looking at & ultimately I just want the protection on the sides & none of them offer it. There isnt really good priced rear that protects the sides. I am hoping that the Rugged Ridge one does when they release it. My OCD has me wanting to match the front & rear bumpers & as of right now Rustys & ExpOne are the one folks that have both that I like. Though completely different front designs between the 2.

There's also the Rock Hard 4x4 Patriot that has side protection but is $999.95 https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/rear-bumpers/rh-80302-rock-hard-4x4-patriot-series-rear-bumper and also the Motobuilt but it's $1299

I hadn’t seen the motobuilt. It’s pretty... and they do free shipping which puts them about the same cost as the others. Just gotta add paint. Hmmmmm
Yep, do you know anyone that could powdercoat it? Unfortunately their MAYDEALS discount doesn't apply and the corner mounts are $199 extra. There's also the pricey Fab Fours https://www.4wd.com/p/fab-fours-rear-bumper-black-jt20-y1950-1/_/R-DKSN-JT20-Y1950-1 that has the funky side protection and you can get 10% off and free shipping with the 4wd10 code.

Actually I would probably just have it painted firecracker red to match and keep the paint correction spray cans on hand. I only know one person who powder coats and he doesn’t do anything larger then an AR handguard

That's cool. I've always wanted to paint my bumpers body-color.
