Key features

  • No hitch
  • Two stage gloss black powder coat
  • Dense zinc treated undercoating
  • Robotically welded
  • Bolts directly to the vehicle
  • For 2- and 4-door models

Double tube design and clearance

A double tube bumper gives a second bar of protection, which helps when the rear of the vehicle meets brush, stumps or the edge of a ledge. The open tube shape lets mud and debris pass through, and it keeps the weight lower than a solid plate design. Approach and departure clearance depend on how the rear is set up, so check clearance against your tires once the bumper is mounted.

Body length changes where the mounts sit, which is why 2-door and 4-door fitment matters. Confirm the fit before you buy and check the mounts before tightening. If you later want a hitch, plan for a separate receiver part and recheck the mounts after adding weight at the rear.

  • Check tire clearance once mounted
  • Inspect welds after rough trail use
  • Touch up powder coat chips promptly

Questions & Answers

Does this bumper have a hitch?

No. A hitch is not included, so a receiver would need to be a separate part to add towing or carrier mounting.

Which Jeep models does it fit?

It is made for 2- and 4-door Jeep models. Confirm fit for your vehicle's year, model and trim before ordering, since the exact model years are needed to confirm fit.

Does the bumper need welding to install?

No. The bumper bolts directly to the vehicle, so the install is a bolt-on job at the existing mounting points, with no welding needed on the vehicle.

Can a hitch be added to this bumper later?

Yes, a receiver is sold as a separate part and can be added later. Confirm fit for your vehicle's year, model and trim before buying, and keep towing and carrier loads within the receiver's rating.

How should the gloss black finish be cleaned?

Rinse off mud and road salt after trail use, then wash with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive pads that scratch the gloss. Touch up chips with matching paint so the steel underneath does not start to rust.
