The Definitive REAR Bumper Thread

[chorky]

Well since there is a thread for the front, there should also be one for the rear.

Looking to see what everybody has. Lots of great options out there.


Opinions on this one specifically would be appreciated. Google search nets few results. I have been eyeballing it for over 6 months, it is currently on sale, and they said they will honor the sale for me since I'm still recovering from a major surgery.

I do like that Road Armor one.. especially with the option for the winch.


I'm a fan of my LOD Destroyer with the optional bed sliders and the frame tie ins.
(https://lodoffroad.com/category/jt-gladiator-destroyer-rear-bumper). It works with the "max-tow" trailer hitch but not the "add on" ones with the lower tow ratings.

I beat the hell out of that bumper on the Rubicon .. nothing a little black paint won't fix.

fyi... the dual exhaust didn't make it to the Rubicon.. I killed that earlier in the season coming off some rocks and replaced. it with a single pipe crawler style cat-back.

The other interesting option is EVO's High and Tight bumper .. but it doesn't provide much in the way of side protection

I've been lookin at the Rusty's Offroad rear bumper. It has side protection that ties into the frame.

Holy cow, that's a heck of a nice discount price on that from Quadratec right now. That was one of the one's I had looked at but always balked at the price.
I ended up buying the Motobilt Hammer series rear bumper, got it ordered through Northridge this morning.

A bit pricey, even with the discount, but a big plus for being made in the USA. I'll be sure to keep that one on the radar, but shoot, I'm having trouble deciding on which front bumper I want.

Hell, might just go to the local sawmill and have some 4" x 8" Oak slabs cut and bolt those on for bumpers. Naw, kan't do that, the truck wood be overloaded!!

My favourite rear bumper at the moment, based purely on aesthetics:

Rough Country Tubular

Yeah there are a ton of really great options out there. I think the fact the Glad and Wrangler are so similar only benefits the aftermarket support.

Me personally, I specifically want a rear winch. So far Road Armor is the only option available for this.

It will be cool to see what the forum comes up with for options though.

I recently installed the Expedition One base bumper. Very well made, stout, excellent powder coating, has cutouts for lights, and my favorite part is the bed sliders and rear bumper are one piece. Pics on their site are crappy though and not many people actually have it so a bit of a gamble for me. Happy with my choice.

Price went up quite a bit recently and it took a LONG time to actually receive (8 months) though.

Cheers

I've the Kaymar dual-swing bumper. I had been looking at JCR and the Expedition One... but the Kaymar checks all the boxes better for me.

 

[Free2roam]

Kinda what I'm looking for! I'll have a camper on back. Also would like to have the bikes up higher so as to not hit while off-road. But low enough to not catch the wind.

 

[legend007]

I was looking at the Bestop Granite rear bumper.
https://www.bestop.com/products/granite-series-rear-bumper-jeep-2020-2022-gladiator/

Anyone used this?

I too like the look of the EVO but have to decide on cutting the rear bed panel and fender to make a better looking install

This rear bumper is so sick! How did you go about purchasing yours, I've been browsing and haven't found any links!
