The only rear bumpers I have seen are the Warn with tire carrier and the Garvin Wilderness with tire carrier. The Wilderness looks pretty stout. In searching the web and reading here I have been looking at the Jeeperman and BulletProof. I am leaning heavily towards the Wilderness since it is locally available. SHould I be taking a much harder look at one of the others or are the BP JM and Wilderness all good stout bumpers.
I am looking for a receiver hitch, tire carrier (currently for a 31") two gas cans and possibly a hi-lift and wilderness rack and heck for stout so it reinforces the frame (unlike the light weight Warn I looked at). What do the folks that have seen em all recommend? Thanks Pat BTW I gave up on the receiver hitch motorcycle rack idea. |

I think that the biggest differences in the Wilderness/Garvin to the Jeeperman are: The hinge, the latch (Jeeperman is like a car door, the Wilderness is a big "T" screw in) The frame tie ins and the way that the Jeeperman's shackles are welded through both sides of the bumper and then to the 1/4" thick mount. Also the JM is adjustable up or down if you have a body lift or add one later.

FWIW, this morning, I ordered the Koz Offroad rear bumper with swingout. I've also got a jerrycan mount and Hi-Lift brackets on the way too.
The reason I mentioned this is that what their website doesn't tell you is that they have a trail rack on the way that will be compatible with the swing out. I know you can get one gas can on the rack, dunno about whether you can get another one onto the soon-to-be-coming rack. Having just had a look around, take a look at the following manufacturers, if you're interested. Jeeperman Warn OR Fab Off Road Technologies Poison Spyder Customs Koz Offroad Toys by Troy Sure there's more.... 88 XJ, millions of miles...... |
