Yeah. Should be next week. I only ordered the bumpers today so 2-3 days to build them then they get sent for powder coating. I'm in no hurry. They keep me posted.

Funny couple you don't like the smitty built and for the money in the same price point I like it the best!! And you can also use the 'gas can area' for tool storage or ??? simple to fab something to fit in that spot...
although I'm not sure what the long dealio is sticking straight up?? hi lift??
that's the one I plan to get when the time comes.... back to seriousoffroad

Everyone likes something different. I have had one smitty-built bumper and will never get another one. Granted that was along time ago and I'm sure things have changed but it was a weak piece of garbage. Once I get burned though by a manufacture I don't go back. I have jcr sliders/front bumper and would get their rear tire carrier but its sooo ugly haha

The rear bumper with tire carrier shows price of 365$. Is that correct? If it is its an impossible deal. Could you post pics and confirm that it ties into the frame? I actually baught a rear bumper from them and it only mounted to the 8 stock bolt holes. I did add my own frame tie ins later.

This bumper is actually made for a XJ that has no hatch... leans inside the cargo area for center of gravity reasons, room to back up, and keeps it out of the weather better... I made brackets to mount it on my MJ to act as a tailgate as well for it... now that the MJ is getting tons and 40's I'll be sticking this back on the XJ for when I sell it...
