I don't run one. I have the Olympic rear frame cover. Gives me as much clearance as possible and still looks pretty sexy if I do say so myself.... Plus it's only 80 bucks!

Default Rear Bumper

Do you need a bumper with specific uses?

Meaning, do you need D-ring connections, or tire carrier options?

What do you want a new bumper to do that your stock bumper is not doing?

Im looking for one with a tire carrier! Thats really the only thing i need it for! My stock carrier is getting flimsy holding my 35s, so its time to upgrade! But a good looking bumper that also gives better clearance would be nice too!

It's the Teraflex hinge carrier. It's light and has help up to my 35s with no issues. Link below.

I had that bumper and tire carrier on my last jk. I sold it after I returned it to stock in favor of a full width bumper.

The bumper was very stout and the powder coat held up surprisingly well for a cheaper bumper. I did have issues with the tire carrier drooping when opened. I've read that this may have been installer error on my part but the instructions are not great.

They offer a nice cheap mount for a hilift hack which is a plus.
