The Smittybilt Classic SRV Rear Bumper is as tough as it is practical, as is seen in the 1/4 inch steel plate design, intuitive mounting system to carry an oversized spare tire. The SRC Classic rear bumper is powder coated in our signature textured finish.
Very good bumper. Bought this bumper for my wife’s jeep. She can be pretty hard on a jeep. This bumper I don’t see her damaging. It’s heavy we’ll built and allowing her 3 places for winch points. I’d buy it again.
It rattled at the latch immediately…badly. I found a solution that they should do from or during the mfg process. The little elbow block on the bumper where the gate swings closed and rests on it should have a rubber buffer. It fixed my rattle but to be honest I was very worried at first. Very well built product, does exactly what it’s supposed to do and the install was pretty straight forward. Overall pleased.
Running this on a YJ and a TJ. Easy to install and stout. I added some poly isolators to the shackles and don't have any rattling .
Fit really well on our 89 YJ. The only modification we had to do was bevele out the mounting hole on the frame so the bolts could line up on bumper. Dropping the gas tank was required. Also taking the bottom hinge off on rear door to allow the swing gate to be mounted. Does cause the spare tire to block you rear view more.
Easy install, might be a little harder with fuel tank in. I had my tank out to repair the aft upper shock mounts. Took about 2.5 hrs by myself with a floor jack. Direction good enough.
Had to lower fuel tank to install on a 2006 wrangler. Drilled 1/2” holes instead of 7/16” to make lining up 4 inner bolts easier as those were the ones I had to lower the gas tank to help reach and they were still difficult. 6 factory holes lined up perfectly. Bumper is great. Would give 5 stars but the latch rattles on bumps.

A: You can lock it in place. On my YJ it rattles going down the street, expect noise on or off trail.
