Description
If you back into anything on the trails with that factory plastic rear bumper on your Jeep Wrangler JL, chances are you are going to need to replace it. The HD Rear Bumper from Rugged Ridge gives your Jeep the protection and the look you deserve. The sturdy steel bumper also provides two drilled recovery hooks, integrated hi-lift jack points, and is functional with an OEM or Rugged Ridge trailer hitch to give you additional versatility. The features and style compliment the front HD Stubby and Full-Width bumpers from Rugged Ridge. Backed by a limited 5-year warranty, the trail-tested HD Rear Bumper is a great choice.

Construction: Made from heavy duty steel for amazing protection in case you find yourself needing it. Satin black powder coated to prevent corrosion keeping your bumper looking new for years to come.

Upgrade: That plastic factory rear bumper will crack under pressure while you are out on the trails so upgrade to a strong steel bumper so you do not have to worry about not having the protection you need.

Installation: This rear bumper will not need any type of modification made to your Jeep. It is a simple bolt on installation.

Came on time and without damage or scratches to the unit. I ended up needing the OEM bolts which were longer to set in place so I could use the Rugged Ridge mounting hardware. Well made for the price and since its a metal alloy though thin, it beats the plastic units my Jeep came with. I recommend this product. It also looks good once installed, no post push regret.

Questions

What provisions are there for the rear license plate and light?
Those are eliminated on this bumper, you will have to relocate your plate to the spare tire or the body...see #12066.1100
I do not have back up sensors on my JL. Are there blanks included with the bumper to close off the holes?
Yes there are covers that come with this bumper to close off the holes.
Does this bumper come with all of the pieces necessary for the plastic bumper sensors? I know a few other aftermarket rear bumpers require some additional Mopar pieces in order to accommodate the sensors. Thanks!
Yes this is complete with everything that you need to move your sensors over. From the instructions : "The HD bumper does not use the rings to mount, remove any of the rings from the sensors. Each sensor will lock into the grooves of the HD Bumper..."
