Overview
The RT Off-Road RT20004 is a black Rock Crawler rear bumper with tire carrier, built from full-width tube steel. It fits 1998–2006 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) and 1987–1995 Jeep Wrangler (YJ) models, and it is a steel upgrade over the factory plastic rear bumper.
The receiver hitch is designed for recovery, and the carrier holds oversized tire and wheel combinations.
Key features

- Carrier accepts 5 on 4.5-inch bolt pattern wheels
- Carrier holds oversized tire and wheel combinations
- Installs in the factory bumper mounting location with included hardware, no drilling or modification
Before installing a tire carrier
A rear tire carrier adds weight at the back of the vehicle, and that load goes straight into the bumper mounts and the frame. Before installing, inspect the mounting area for rust, cracks and previous repairs, because a solid mount is what keeps the carrier steady on rough trails.
Check the spare tire clearance with the rear door or tailgate in its open position. A carrier can block the license plate and lights, so plan where those will be relocated. Wheel size matters too: confirm the tire fits the carrier before the bumper is mounted, since an oversized tire can change swing clearance.
- Check the mount area for rust before installation
- Confirm tire clearance with the door open
- Plan a new position for the plate and lights
