Default Metal Bumper with Stock Endcaps

Hi,
I was wondering if you guys know of any heavy duty rear bumpers that fit under stock end caps? I'm not serious enough to deal with fixing up what's under my caps and making it look good, and then having to deal with an odd looking fender flair. So, I just want a stock replacement that's stronger with dlinks on it or something similar. Also, I don't wheel hard enough to need metal to the ends of my Jeep. I would still like to have my trailer hitch on under it/attached. Let me know if you know of any and I'll check them out.

I don't have the ability, skill, time, or means to fab myself and don't know of anyone in the Metro Detroit areas who can.

-Mark

To be honest man i've never heard of a stock HD rear bumper. Your best bet would probably be JCR's rear bumper. It fits all the curves and you can get them with rear lower quarter guards for cut and fold or non cut and fold. Looks almost stock. But bad ***!

Do you know if the JCR side caps get drilled into the side of the Jeep or those are for style? How do they get attached? They do look really nice.

Are you referring to the side lower 1/4 panel armor? If so, that gets bolt through the factory lower 1/4 panel.

Are the holes already there? Or do they need to be drilled?

You have to drill the holes.

I also would like a replacement bumper that incorporated a hitch and used the stock end caps. This is for my daughters XJ and I want clean simple looks. I will be building one and will post pics when I do, BUT its pretty low on my priority list.
