Reviews for Smittybilt XRC Gen2 Rear Bumper for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Very sturdy bumper. I wanted steel bumpers but they all rusted on other Jeeps and I didn’t want to paint them every year. Then I saw the these with a five year fish warranty and a lifetime structure warranty I got them both front and rear. They cost more than the average bumpers but are way better built. Also you’re gonna need some help on the install. They’re both over 120lbs. I ran my rear bumper leds to my rough country switch pod so I can operate when needed.

Great bumper and tire carrier....holds my 37" tire nicely...very well built and stylish look...install the included lights before mounting....

This bumper with tire carrier combo is amazing. People complement it and ask where I got it and how much was it all the time.

Installation of the bumper was relatively easy minus the nut/washer plate that goes to the inside of the frame rail. The plate was a little to large to fit between the cross member (had to grind it to make it work but came out amazing and sturdy. Other then the washer/nut plate the only other issue was the bracket that goes inside the frame rail on the passenger side.it was made a little to big to fit easily (had to tap it in with a block of wood and a hammer. Overall it Took about 1.5 hours using only hand tools.

The tire carrier was a little more of an annoyance to do. Although it didn’t come with instructions it was pretty straight forward. Had to remove the outside 2 passenger frame bolts to put another bracket on for it (seems like it would’ve been more beneficial to the consumer and the company to have the bracket welded on to the bumper rail since it’s not visable or in the way if the tire carrier was not purchased)
Overall I love the product and they gave extra hardware for (what I assume to be) accessories

Very solid bumper with great styling. Smittybilt instructions are poor at best, but with a little effort you can get everything in it's appropriate place. The flush LEDs are a nice added feature and tie in easily to the back-up lights. Quadratec customer service is outstanding.

Love the light textured finish...solid bumper!

126 pounds of quarter inch, powder coated GD hallelujah, fireworks and rock and roll American steel. It has armor plating like a friggin tank! GRRRRRRRRR I just opened the box and I have so much testosterone flowing in my veins right now I just want to drink whiskey and bench press something! It also has cool LED lights.

I LOVE this bumper! Well built and it looks incredible on the jeep!!!

Love this bumper, but I wish they included the D-Rings to finish it off. I purchased them separately, which makes look great. Other than that.....the finish is excellent and the lights are super bright. This bumper gets me many compliments. Thanks Smittybilt & Quadratec.

Had this on my JKU for a few months now and gotta say it's awesome. Looks great and well built, definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a tow rated rear bumper.

Great bumper. I removed the shiny metal due to not being my taste. I wish they had made the same bumper without the shiny metal, but I made it work.
