Smittybilt SRC GEN2 Rear Bumpers

This bumper is just what i have been searching for. Solid as it could be.

Received my order very quickly. Everything was packaged well arrived in perfect condition. Installation Wes pretty straight forward. One thing to note when installing. The directions say to drill the hole in the bottom of the passenger side bumper bracket after installing the bumper. It is 100% impossible to put the nut on the bolt if you do that. You HAVE to put the bracket on, drill the hole, then put the nut plate on and put only the bottom bolt in loosely, put the bumper on, then the other bolts then tighten everything up. Also, no hole drilled for the grease zerk. You are going to have to drill and tap yourself. Bumper and tire carrier are very stout. Takes a little mechanical aptitude, but noting most people can’t do. Oh, and when putting the wheel studs in the bracket, it helps if you have a press. They can be pounded in, but you will mar things up a bit if you do. Would highly recommend this setup. Looks great on my Jeep.

First, this Rear bumper came very well packed and had no shipping damage whatsoever. I had another Jeep just a couple years ago and the bumper I purchased for it, from another manufacturer, did not come nearly as well packed. As many have said, instructions are not the best but YouTube install videos are a great resource. After install I have to say this bumper seems very heavy duty and for my initial use I could not be more satisfied.

Very nice once it’s on. Instructions do leave out a few things. Bags of hardware, that are not mentioned in hardware list description,with #’s that don’t match anything in the instruction booklet. Nut plate for passenger side frame (not even mentioned in steps, yet needed) had to be drilled out, as welded nuts not aligned with clearance holes. Bolts could not start.Had to run a tap through as well. A Rubicon’s plastic bumper has non removable sensor clips,not just sport and Sahara models. You can cut them out, and jam them in, but they do not fit as they should. Will need to order metal ones….hopefully they fit. Lights look good, but mounting posts are cheesy. Do not come close to securely holding in place,as they are too short for plastic retaining clips to properly seat.
