New formed rear bumper for the TJ and YJ Jeep Wrangler's. This new design is strong and stylish, notched for the OEM hitch so that the owner can safely tow. Large step area for improved access to the back of the vehicle. Formed 3/16 inch steel plate construction with significant reinforcement for the trail. Bolt-on installation (YJ requires drilling of 2 holes in the vehicle cross member) This new bumper mates up to the 5294 swing arm by using the state of the art dual wheel bearing pivot design. Body Armor introduced this new pivot design last year in the JK-2394 and has proven to be very reliable, dependable and easy to operate, plus it has the capability to carry up to a 37 inch tall tire with virtually no vibration. Dual process powder coat process for maximum corrosion resistance.

Easy Install
Took a friend and I to hold the bumper into place and insert the bolts into their holes, and all of about 5 minutes to install. One thing I noticed is that the top of the metal latching post (for the tire swing) is too close to the OEM license plate holder. However it doesn't rub it, it is just too close to use the tire swing latch that they give you, the way it was given to you. I just took the silver "U" shaped latch and cut the top leg off and bent the bottom leg slightly down to just use one latching bar. Works great now after simple modification. I also drilled a hole in the red latch handle at the end and bolted in a strap with a metal key latch.( basically like a leash you would attach to your dog's collar) And wrapped it around the lowest square tubing of the metal Tire swing. This way I know it is secure traveling down the road. Good material. Very close, tight fit.

No instructions..
Havent had the chance to try it put, looks solid, and its heavy. I am pretty upset that it doesnt have instructions given theres a bag with 50 pieces in it. Not aure how in the world it goes together but im going to have to figure it out myself.

Good bumper, crappy accessories.
Solid construction. Unfortunately, it is shipped without instructions, the instructions on the website do not match the hardware on the product, and the help number is not toll free.I will add that, contrary to other reviews, I did not have to drill to attach it to my 2003 Jeep Rubicon. The installation was fairly easy, once we figured out how to put it on.Update: the swinging tire carrier for this bumper does not fit correctly and is poorly made.

You'll need a drill and lots a patients
Wasn't expecting to need a drill to alter my frame because of 1/4 in difference in their holes for the scrappy designed nut plate, which likes to randomly fall out of its slot in the inside of the bumper during installation, causing you to have to take it back off to fix the stupid things. Also, if you have a Exo-cage roof rack.. The bolts they give you will only grab by 1or2 threads
