Reviews for Smittybilt XRC GEN 1 Rear Bumpers for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Nice bumper. Sturdy. You do have to play with the hinge adjustment a bit to find the ‘sweet spot’.

Very heavy and built solid.

Installed the bumper on a 2017 JKU Sport hosting a Gobi Stealth roof rack. Installation was easy. Needed a little jiggling to accommodate the rear Gobi supports. Solid, well built bumper.

Took about 2 hours, pulling off old bumper was quick 6 bolts, and the recovery hook was a snap to pull of 3 bolts, I cheated tho, used an impact. Bumper went up pretty easy with a neighbor assisting me. Fit was perfect, I also now have a trailer hitch which is nice and bought the OEM trailer wiring harness for 40ish dollars and it was just 2 screws to get left taillight off, then plug and play, easy peasy.

Easy install,bumper has held up well

Super strong. Looks great, and bolts on in less than an hour.

Outstanding bumper for the price. Unlike some reviews I read, this bumper went right on my JK with no problem at all. Holes were perfectly aligned, and bolts and nuts for perfectly. Instructions called for drilling the four holes in the frame rail that support the hitch to 1/2 inch. Either mine was already 1/2 inch or this step is unnecessary, as the bolts fit through the pre drilled holes without any issues. Looks great and can't wait to take it on the trail.

Looks great and had no problems with the fit. Got it because I creased the factory bumper on a trail and this was a great upgrade and is very sturdy. I have no problems fitting it and all holes lined up, just leave everything loose until all hardware is installed. It took about an hour and a half but I was doing it by myself. Overall definitely worth the price and I would buy again if I had to.

Very easy to install... compliments the front bumper very well....solid built.....

I call this bumper the Indistructabumper. 2 days ago, i was rear-ended by a honda crv hard enough to set off the honda"s airbags. (honda was totaled) I hav yet to find any marks or scratches that won't just dust off. installation was simple, it took me about 45 mins to install by myself. I highly recommend this bumper to protect you're investment!!
