I would like to get reviews from those of you running the Smittybilt Rear XRC Bumper with 2" Receiver, I spend my money on gears, lift, tires and wheels so the price of this bumper is what has me thinking about it.
Please give me the plus and minus about this bumper. Also if you have pics of the actual bumper on your jeep would be great.
Thanks.

 

It's a good bumper for the price. Seems really sturdy and was fairly easy to install.

The one downside if i had to pick one is that you really can't get any accessories for it. So no gerry can holders, cargo racks, etc like some of the higher end ones from LOD, Shrockworks, etc offer.

I ended up getting the or-fab tire carrier to use with mine.

 

I have this rear bumper and tire carrier and agree it's good for the money. I have a 37in tires on my carrier and it really dosent make any noise which is a big plus! I also was rearended by a massive truck and the bumper looks bran new still! Not even chip the powder coat! If I could do it again I would have waited a couple more months and bought a pure jeep bumper or another of better quality. But it's still a great bumper e specially for the money.

 

Go PureJeep, quality USA products and priced nicely.

 

You can get some aftermarket accessories for it. Lots of folks are running rockhard Kerry can holders and the rear rock rack.

I've been running this bumper for a 6-8 months now and definitely good value for the money. I do find that the swing rattles a bit. Nothing crazy but I am one of the folks whose bumper chatters on the body when the body mounts flex. Should be an easy fix. I'm gonna do. Couple tweaks this fall to adjust.

 

It makes a little noise even when properly adjusted but it'll take a lot of abuse and it looks good for the price. I've had mine on since the first version was released over 2 years ago and it's held up great. They only thing is the powder coating is starting to chip off in certain areas which is no biggie for mr rattle can. Go for it, it's a good bumper at a great price.

 

Good bumper have had no problems. As for racks and can holders I've seen a few on the xrc with tire carrier. If you can't find it create It. Ain't that what it's about ?

 

What was the price? If you don't mind me asking

 

Also mine came with a third brake light mount kit . Thinking of fabing it to hold the hi lift I currently have on the hood.

 

I got mine for 850.00. Rear xrc bumper w/tire carrier
