Trying to find Rear Bumper with tire carrier that hides lower portion behind Stock Chrome Bumper

[JeepGuy]

Ordered from Duff's. Plan is to also order up some color match Hot Ginger Poly and spray this all purdy like! I'll update with photo's as the project continues.

Progress for today, peewee football is calling. Notice the bumper is shortened 3 inches. It did make the install a bit harder.

Did you shorten it for rear sight reasons, or other?

Appearance. Front has 7 inches cut out of it.

i think he's referring to how wide the bumper is. both front and rear bumpers look so much better shortened a little. the front sticks out the side so much!

Thanks, it took three of us to hold it and decide where to cut lol

I narrowed My bumpers too. Seems like an easy part for the parts shops to make.

Seems like people like the aftermarket bumpers more. I actually have the dufftuff hidden winch as a future project. I already have the mount for it.

I like the look but the stock bumper are "tinny" and a little bump and they can be right into the body panel and paint. The after market units seem to hold up better IMO>

do you have, or plan to have, a trailer hitch on yours? I can't tell from pic

keep those pics coming if you don't mind

My current set up I built a customer hitch mount with the receiver going through the stock bumper.

I'm going to get one of these James Duff tire carriers and thinking about modifying it to have receiver through the bumper to improve approach angle / clearance. Also going to swap out 23 gallon tank for Duff / LC 20 gallon at same time.

My hidden winch set-up we built after narrowing the bumper and frenching in the fairlead. Still need to grind the weld and send for re-chrome.

You are right but I am gonna chance it.

You can get it with a receiver but I decided against it.

their receiver looks kind of bulky and low hanging so I'm with you on not ordering it with that option

 

[fordguy]

Pick up a tire this week and that project is done.

Man that is sharp!

You guys had me reconsidering this bumper tire carrier setup.

Can't see anywhere where they are listing that unit any longer on the DUFF site...
