It was $100 per bumper. They were off the jeep so that took the price down some. Line-x wanted something crazy like $475 to do both.

I give the Nates 4 out of 5. It mounts with 14 bolts total, so it's on there. I just don't like the gap between the bumper and taillight. That's why the corners are still on. Unfortunately I need to remove them to put on my flares. But for $165, I couldn't complain.....100% satisfied for the price I paid.

This is the only picture I have without the corners.

Yeah I'm not likeing the gap either. I love the price though. I wanted to buy the front and rear bumper as a combo but im questioning that idea now because its really not the rear bumper that i would choose to begin with. I dont think it would be worth the time, money, and effort to get it, get it covered, and put it on, if its not the bumper i want in the first place.

Love the color of your Jeep by the way!

To be honest I wish I would have saved for a tire carrier. I would have gone with Rigidco, but at the time I couldn't spend that much.

Thanks, I wasn't expecting to get red but it's grown on me.

I think rear tire carrier rear bumpers look really sweet, but I was afraid I would lose too much visibility through my rear window.

I agree, my favorite too. Wish I had the equipment and talent to build one!

This is one of my biggest issues with them. The Rigidco allows you to place the tire directly behind the driver. So it's Better than others
