you need to wait KOR is going to be coming out with one and it is supposed to look like the ZJ bumper you can send him a message and get on his list for when they are released. and anyways I think both of those bumpers are kinda ugly.

Ramon, I haven't seen a post from you in almost a year. Thought you might have sold the WJ. Any GSW plans this year? Yeah, check out what Kevin is working on. Suppose to be a front and rear bumper in the works. John

Ryan Taco bell does not count as dinner bud.It takes more than that :)
Kim and I are planning GSW this year. I will never sell the WJ John,she still runs like the first day I took her off the lot many moons ago.I got ahold of Kevin and he was not sure when the rear bumper will be in the works but it will happend once he gets the front for the WJ done which will be very soon.

Well after a few weeks of looking and visiting a few local shops I decided to get the custom4x4 rear bumper.Ordered it this morning and should have it within 4-5 weeks...Not many choices out there at all for the WJ's..Ended up getting a few options on there including the tire carrier...

Yup Kim and I will be there this year..The boat anchor was a bonus lol..

easymunny the total cost of the bumper was 1002.69 which included the tire carrier,highlift mount and d-ring tabs.The only thing I wish they offered was a hitch.
I was like a damn kid at christmas when the ups guy knocked at my door.Wish I had time to do the install before Sunday but I have to pay bills.

Finally got around to installing it today.No fitment issues at all.Very solid and sturdy.Took me about 3 hours or so with breaks.The only thing I may not like is the way the highlift mount goes up, I would prefer it to lay on the bumper horizontal not vertical.You may not be able to see but there is a bracket on top that holds the highlift.
Overall I lost about 3/4 of lift in the rear.Hopefully before Moab I can get some larger coils in the rear...

Looks good Ramon:) Time to cut out the spare tire well, raise the gas tank, and no more dragging on the rear for a while;) btw, where you staying in Moab?

Raising the gas tank is one of my many projects that Kim as to approve lol lol.
Kim and I are staying at red-stone in on Thursday and Friday and screwed up Saturday so we will have to play it by ear when we get there Ryan.

Gotchya...Any rattling from the tire carrier? Does it bow down much when you swing it out?

I'd wanna trim it back a little in the rear of the wheel wells a bit, it doesnt leave a whole lot of room for bigger meats.

Good thing you run such puny tires you fucker !

Looks good though :)

Ill be ok once I get larger coils for the rear.The bumper gives alot more room than the stock bumper.With the stock bumper on my rear exhaust tip was hitting it.Now it does not even touch it.

the one thing that bugs me about that bumper, you need to cut and bend that tire carrier so it sits on the same plane as the rear window.

Hey Ramon, dude you shoulda called when you were going to do the install. I would have helped you drink some beer.
If you want to make any changes to it just let me know, we can get it cut up and welded back on.

No offense man, but I hate almost every rear bumper that is made for a WJ. I have not seen one yet I like. That fits a lot better than the KM bumpers I've seen. I hear ya on the Hiflift mount (scary lookin'). Then again, I'm sportin' the styro bumper right now, so it looks a lot better than mine. Go ahead with the gas tank lift. It took me a couple of hours and an awesome mod to do. Hole saw, impact and sockets, cut off wheels, and a welder. Leave a cut out door for easy pump removal.
