The Smittybilt XRC Atlas rear bumper has gone through extensive design and testing to meet stringent international pedestrian safety standards. As a result, the bumper is stylishly chiseled as well as being extremely strong and functional.
Make sure there’s no excess material on the carrier nut. Had to clean mine out before it would thread. Seems alright though. Goes to edge of rear tube fenders for good protection
I have one on my ‘09 JK 2 door, and I plan on getting another for the ‘17 4 door I’m picking up in a week. I carry a 35” tire, my Jack and when I go out on the trails I carry both jerry cans full of fuel. It’s the only one with these capabilities.
This is a good solid HEAVY bumper. It is definitely a two person lift if you do not have the right tools for assistance. Instructions are not as easy as they sound. I do love the bumper! Just make sure it’s adjusted properly.
This bumper has been on my jku just over 4 years now, and overall has been great, yes it’s adjustable, which is nice because I have had to adjust it, does need greased and lubed every month or two so if you can handle that it’s not bad at all, has been carrying a 35” tire, jack and one full jerry can 60% of the time, and 40% of the time 2 full jerry cans, it does rattle a little but planning on doing modifications in the future to work that out
When first installed it was tough to open, had to push and lift. With driving the gate / latch settled into place. I keep the latch lubricated with WD40 spray white lithium grease and it is easy to open. Love the bumper!
I like the bumper a lot. I just have the usual complaints. The install instructions leave a lot to be desired. I have some parts and bolts left over I can’t figure out where they go. Also two of the main attachment bolt are really hard to fit into position. But overall I’m happy I bought the bumper. I bought it with the tire carrier and like that as well. Don’t like the latch much though. I think I have it adjusted properly but it is hard to open. I’m concerned one of these times it won’t open.
Q: I've got a 2010 JK with a spare tire rack over the back, will the tire carrier interfere with the rack (hit each other). Answer this question
A: It depend on what spare tire rack over the back looks like or covers. the bumper with carrier is awesome. We have an SRC Rack with a RTT and the Atlas XRC carrier. nothing interferes.

Q: I have a 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL. This product says it only fits the JK, but I can’t see the difference in the rear ends. Can this product also be used with the JLs or will Smittybilt produce a model capable of being used on the JLs? Answer this question
A: I wound not buy this for a JL. The bolts will not line up correctly on a JL mostly the bolts on the right and left side of the frame. I never tried it but they are different enough and it was a tight fit on my JK.
