Reviews: Smittybilt XRC Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier and Hitch (Black) - 76851

Installed on a 90 XJ that had a rough life. It installed easily with only very minor adjustments needed. A lot of folks commented on the poor docs and while they were not great; who reads instructions?

Very happy with this bumper. My xj has minor frame damage so I had to modify my frame a little bit but the install of the actual bumper was super easy. I did not have a helper so I lifted the bumper into place with a jack. This thing is very heavy, it's an easy 200lbs once the tire is on the rear swing out. It will cause brand new leaf packs to drop by about a half inch.

One of the best bumpers in the market, will definitely buy another one for my other XJ

Fits very well, fast shipping and good customer service . Very Heavy though.

Really not that difficult to install, my sister and me got it in in 3 hours

It does not bolt in directly to a zj but it can be made to fit if you have time to drill a bunch of holes, cut some of the brackets and buy new bolts. Looks great on mine once it was done!

Easy install, and well built. The swing arm is smooth with no interference with the liftgate. Would buy again for the next XJ.

Installing the tire gate is definitely easier with an extra set of hands. It was impossible to line up the hinge with the holes and shim by myself. With someone to help hold the latch side at the right angle, it only took a few minutes to get it in place.

super nice bumper , beware it does weigh a good bit (without adding the spare) so if your trynna save weight u prob dont wanna get this kit. install went as most xj work , normal rusted bolts that came from factory no big deal just slow down an take ur time. Ive towed dirtbikes and 4 wheelers with this and it handles it no problem. swing gate is greasable so thats always good. overall a great bumper very solid and doesnt bounce around even with a 35 in mud tire as a spare no rattles or annoying noises.
