JK Rear Bumper Roundup

[JK07]

Folks I been wanting to install the rear bumper for a while and since I have joined the 37" Tyres family the need for rear bumper has become essential. Also I was witing for the AEV rear bar. Since its out I took time to compile all the rear bumpers except few which I absolutey hate but the list is almost complete.

Would like to know your choice and why.

I have the ARB bar, mainly because it came with the vehicle. I would probably still choose it though even if they others were freely-available in Oz. I don't think you can argue that any of the other bars have as clean lines and integrate so neatly with the vehicle as the ARB does, with perhaps the exception of the Shockworks one.

only problem with the arb is no tyre carrier and the steel isnt thick enough to make one

Warn would be my first choice coz I love their design.It's simple, strong, well built and has a great departure angle.

Expedition one is another great design, simple and strong.It also looks fantastic on that Jeep green JK with the twin pipes out the back Oh yeah

Hanson 2 and LoD is also like for the same reasons as above.I particularly like the LoD coz of the built in lights.They would be very handy on a night run

Great job by the way, Zak

AEV, it's sexy and practical... I'm really impressed with most of AEV's stuff actually, they mix sexy with awesome practicality.

Shrockworks would have to be my second favourite, same reasons.

Also pretty impressed by the LOD.

Olympic with rear winch would be pretty frikken sweet! But that's a lot of weight out back! I'd be more inclined to have a winch with a tow hitch attached with receivers front and rear so you can winch both ways and only carry one winch (added bonus that when it's not in use it's weight is in the middle of the vehicle not on an end).

I don't like the Hanson, although their quality is great and they're strong as F, I think their products are too big.

So far my short list is AEV and LoD but it again depends on the price. I think AEV is gona be my first choice but price of AEV is going to be killer

Expedition, hanson look tough. However, I like the lights in the back of the LOD.
