Reviews for Rock Hard 4X4 RH2001-C Rear Bumper/Tire-Carrier for 76-06 Jeep CJ, Wrangler YJ, TJ & Unlimited
I have a bunch of Rock Hard 4x4 stuff on my rig, but this bumper is the best thing they make. I’ve had other Jeeps, Toyotas, and all kinds of bumper swing out tire carriers, and this thing is better than the rest by a considerable margin. While it’s likely you won’t need it, RH4x4’s customer service is somehow even better than their products. You won’t regret picking this bumper up.
I did plenty of research before finally deciding on this bumper. Though the price tag is shocking, upon arrival it is immediately apparent you get what you pay for. Next to other brands of cheaper tire carriers I've seen around, there's no comparison. So far, no rattles or sagging or anything. Super heavy duty. Highly satisfied
had the top-of -the line Warn rear bumper,...crap ....took advice of 4wheelparts got this and re-installed my Jerry can carriers and luggage rack with 33 inch Dick Cepek Extreme Country tires ....ready for the trail...great product. Very happy with overall results, NOT crazy expensive.
Great bumper. If the price scares you a little like it did me, don't worry. I've seen the cheaper bumpers on my friends Jeeps and the side by side quality comparison is night and day. Holds a 35in tire just fine. If you're installing on a CJ, you may need to make 1in spacers to go in between the frame and bumper for it to fit. Instructions didn't say anything about that but it had to be done on my Jeep.
I bought my 1st Rockhard bumper/tire carrier for my 03 TJ back in 2007. Still going strong and has never rattled! Closes and locks up tight every time. Just got one for my 06 Limited TJ. Now the rear tire carrier is adjustable. This set up is HEAVY DUTY and easy to install. Very well made and durable. It's actually stronger than the TJ frame which is why you should get the frame gussets as well. Highly recommended.
Awesome product! Have a CJ, so I can’t speak for other models, but for my Jeep it went on with no drilling. All parts fit beautifully, and it’s incredibly tough. Super impressed!
Great Bumper & Tire Carrier! On top of that, it's American Made. The install time of 2-3 hours is a bit deceiving, Perhaps with an experienced crew. The design and craftsmanship is excellent! Great product!
The people at quadratic were great. They told me when it was going to be shipped. It shipped arrived on time. It didn't take too long to put on its a strong good looking upgrade.
5 star rating is for the RockHard Bumper, If I was rating Quadratecs handling it would be a 1 star.
About the bumper, Installation wasn't bad or difficult like some people feel. My son and I spent an afternoon removing the old bumper and installing this one. Fit and finish of this are excellent, operation is flawless, and like a previous reviewer stated, I think after WW3 there will only be roaches and RockHard bumpers left in the world.
Installing - first, dump out the bags of parts and organize them into groups, it will be easier for you later. Second, go to the RockHard website and watch their youtube installation video, then watch it again, then watch it section by section as you install the bumper! Get a friend to help because a lot of this really needs two sets of hands.
Actually getting this bumper to your door is a PAIN IN THE ASS! I hope you aren't in a hurry to get it. It a whole month from my order date until it arrived. I NEVER received an email, phone call or anything about where my $800 bumper was. Calling into customer service was impossible as every time I tried I sat on hold waiting to talk to someone for over 20 minutes before finally hanging up. I don't have all day long from 8-5 mon-fri waiting to actually talk to somebody. I DID talk with someone by way of chat but he lied to me. Promised my bumper was shipping the next monday and that an email would be sent. Never got an email, bumper didnt ship for 2 more weeks! When it did FINALLY ship the email had an incorrect FEDEX tracking number attached, and anyone who has ever delt with tracking should have instantly known that number was too short by about half to be valid.
So in summation, order an expensive part - no updates about delay - wait a month for $800 bumper to arrive - spend an afternoon with a buddy turning some wrenches installing a badass bumper.
Great fit and easy installation with two people. I couldn't imagine doing it by myself. Solid product and looks great.
