Also a newby, i plan on fabbing a rear bumper for my 00 wj, i'll be sure to take pics and possibly make a jig if your interested in one. I went with the arb for the front though. I must say, its a tough bumper, its already totaled a honda civic.

I have a KMA rear on mine. Another option for the rear:

the KMA bumper is very very nice..but a little high on price for just a bumper (being i dont want a tire carrier)...2000wjkrawler..im interested in the bumper, so let me know when you get some pics and the project complete...

I have this bumper on mine now, pretty nice piece but they (C4x4) are still working out some details. 1 issue I had was the wheel well opening, WAY too small for anything over stock tire size, you can see this in their pics. I held the top part and trimmed back almost 6" at the bottom, actually made for a better line with the sheetmetal and it now clears my tires at full compression.

I think I paid around $550 shipped, with the added D-Ring mounts and bare metal (no powdercoat).

I had a similar issue with my KMA bumper, it rubbed big time under compression. After a trim (about 4") it looks better and no rub.
