Reviews: Smittybilt SRC GEN2 Rear Bumpers

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

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.

Easy install. Instructions were practically useless and hardware didn’t match what was supposed to be included. Lots of extra Hardware at the end. Make sure you install the light brackets before you mount the bumper.

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.
