Reviews for Quadratec Mid Width Rear Bumper for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Absolutely love this bumper. Leave it to Quadratec to come up with an awesome mid width rear bumper. At a very reasonable price. And...Its steel. Easy mount. Brackets are welded to the inside of bumper. It just slides into place. Its a bit of a tight fit. But I like that about it. No rattling after installation. 3 inch cubes are a perfect fit. Had to mess with mounts to get them centered. But an awesome feature. The D ring mounts also provide a solid recovery point.
Had an issue with the mounting hardware. But Quadratec's staff, Kevin. Fixed it. But that does not take away from the construction and looks of this bumper. And it's functional. I highly recommend this bumper if your looking for a solid built rear bumper.
Nice looking rear bumper.
Looks great and very easy to put on.
Bumper came very well wrapped and quickly. Made it all way to Texas in 5 days. There was a tiny scrape on the D ring holder on one side but hey I am just glad Fedex didn't destroy half of it so I touched it up with some paint.
Installation was easy. The supports did not quite line up with my jeep frame (maybe shipping) So I hit it once with a 2,5lb hammer and Voila!.
I got the optional flush mount backup LED lights. Wiring harness and install was simple enough to the rear light. The wiring harness is a tad long with feet and feet of extra but hey. rather too long that too short.
As far as the backup lights. LOL. I can do shadow puppets on my neighbor's house across the street from my driveway when I am in reverse . Seriously they are bright bright . So bright I am buying some for the front bumper.
One thing I noticed which will irk me and my brain. If you have stock fenders this bumper will expose about a 1 inch under flap on them that was not visible with the stock bumper that to me looks odd. I plan on cutting that 1 inch off the rear fenders. But just a note. Not the bumpers fault.
Overall a great looking bumper and I am pleased to have it . Good price with the lights and great fast FREE shipping as usual from Quadratec,
Bumper came in well packed. No issues with the coating. Like other buyer mentioned some of the welds are not the prettiest but it looks strong, one of the welds on the inside corner melted the metal and can be slightly seen on the outside. Easy installation. Good value for the price.
Nice quality bumper. My only complaint is the textured black powder coat doesn't have as much texture as my rubi rails and front bumper.
Bumper came in VERY well packed. Outside box strapped and shrink-wrapped, quadruple inside box containing bumper strapped on a corrugated pallet. Bumper was wrapped in foam then shrink wrapped. Best \packing job I've every seen!
Fit and finish is good, powder coating looked flawless (we'll see how it holds up.) Welds not the prettiest ones I've see hence the 4 stars but looked strong enough.
Most difficult part of the installation was removing my OEM bumper and the tow hooks, bolts were rusted through after 6 New England winters. Had to cut some of them with an angler grinder.
Installation of the new bumper is a breeze, it fits very well in the frame rails. Insert, 4 bolts, done!
Good value for the price. Hard to justify spending more on a rear bumper.
I Like the bumper. Your installation instructions are wrong. On the stock bumper for the 2008 JK Unlimited there are 2 more attachment brackets that must be removed to get the stock bumper off. Your bumper must be twice as heavy as the rubber baby buggy bumper that came off. And nice clean lines also.
Packaged incredibly well. Quick shipping. One spot was chipped and touched up, but it's a bumper and will get more of that I'm sure. SUPER easy install, excellent fit. Welds look good, nice and heavy. Nice bumper. Just a note: If you look closely in the product pictures, you can see a tab that sticks down from your fender flares when the old "bumper" is removed. It is hard to see in the product pictures but REALLY sticks out on your actual jeep. Plan on cutting these off or learning to live with them.
A great bumper with the option to mount reverse pods. It’s pretty stout and not too heavy.
