Hey guys, I'm new to this forum talk. I had major rust on the back lower quarters of my XJ. So I did the common "cut and fold" mod or in my case: "cut and weld" So now I'm looking for rear bumpers out there for

this mod, that will hold up to wheeling. I don't have time to build one.

http://www.ajsoffroadarmor.com/home.php and http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/ and http://aresfabrication.com/ has a non tire carrier one

I went with AJ's and love it.

Thanks, I'll check those sites out. I like how the sides on AJs are welded on. How are the mount points?

Andrew always has the best links....

Why didn't you modify the gas hose cover to fit?

I am running the AresFab rear CutNfold. Probably going with AJ's Tanker tire carrier/cutNfold next

I work nights and can only watch so much tv,So i google parts for whatever and build a mental parts list.The reason i made the zj/wj parts list was a lot of folks always asked if anyone made this or that.Now i can just drop my list on them lol.

That was so rotted out it wasn't worth saving, I have yet to make another one.

I was looking into that one, what don't you like about it?

I think ares dont offer a tire carrier with a cut and fold and sounds like he wants one.

Not quite sure what you are asking here unless its how difficult is it to mount.


Its not difficult, although you'll definitely want a 19mm ratcheting closed end wrench. There isn't a lot of clearance on the main mounting points, and the ratcheting wrench makes it much easier.
