Someone hit my rear bumper in a parking lot yesterday. Not a ton of damage but they are getting me a rear bumper. I wanted to upgrade to the Rubicon rear, I have the sensors. I'm hoping it shouldn't be a huge jump in price. Ill pay the difference. Those Mopar steel rears look so good

I like the BodyGuard rear bumper from the SEMA build they did.

I like that it has shackle tabs and light cut outs but whats with all the screwed on panels?? Another manufacturer does the same thing. I think it looks cheap. Just make the thing out of 3/16" steel water jet the necessary holes for lights, sensors, etc., brake it, weld it, and powder coat it (or not). There no need to make everything look like a transformer. The screwed together look does nothing but cheapen the appearance.

No Light for the TAG. I rewired some Bolt Lights LED from a motorcycle project, it will be a nice clean look but it took awhile to make a mini harness from the factory plug to the Tag......

I have a custom built one with dual swing out. SOSOffroadConcepts made mine. They are a Toyota Tacoma aftermarket manufacturer, but they saved all the schematics and made a jig for the JT. I have a thread that has pictures of mine.
