anyone have any pictures of some zj rear bumpers? im gettin ready to build one and need some ideas

IV WHLN · 06-15-2007, 03:59 PM

Not great pictures but you get the idea.

The first pic shows the mounts which use the hitch mounting locations.

This is a close to finished. The "shorty" style bumper. I was going to add corners, but sold the Jeep before I finished.

The hitch was going to come off and a new one was going to be intergrated for better clearence. And yes, i know the mud flaps are lame, but living in the Pacific Northwest they are a must!

This is mine not quite done yet but you get the gist of it. It mounts the same as IV WHLN's. No hitch just some d-rings and soon will have a fold down style tire carrier on it.

^ Is that a production bumper, or custom?

Took me to this post.
Is there anyone else out there who has some updated pictures or different pictures of a rear bumper. looking for some more inspiration. thanks guys xmattx

SirFuego · 01-19-2009, 10:54 AM

The goal was a simple, functional design. I didn't care about rear quarter protection. I'm not exactly good with the welder, so it was built by a friend. It's sleeved into the frame rail and bolted to the gas tank skid bolts in addition to the back of the unibody. It's taken quite a few hits and held up great.

jmcgillkx99 · 01-19-2009, 11:38 PM

This is the best picture I could find

love the tube bumper looks so cool
what size tube is that (ive just started my rear tube bumper using 2" od tube) but i dont think i could get as tighter radius as you on the bits below the lights

jeepdude25 · 01-21-2009, 09:15 AM

heres mine!!! sorry only pic I got.

desertboy · 01-21-2009, 06:47 PM

i'll get some finished pics if anybody is interested but this is close

DarthZombie · 01-21-2009, 09:07 PM

I mounted mine using the hitch mounts. I'm getting ready to re-do the mounts with bigger material for more strength and to allow me to hand D ring shackles off the mount right between the two bolts at the rear of the hitch bracket. I can't think of a heavier duty place to hang them.

mgerstandt · 01-22-2009, 02:18 PM

those are some great examples. i really like the build of goldensd from mall crawlin. but i dont want to post any pics of his with out his consent

geesaw · 02-03-2009, 07:43 PM

Homebuilt job, tank tuck in progress.

JayH · 02-03-2009, 08:57 PM

Lots of protection but crap for departure angle. It's amazing what I once thought was cool...

ROXROES · 02-05-2009, 05:42 AM

JayH, you could very easily take a plasma/torch/grindning wheel, whack a ton of fat out of that. Then piece in chamfer plates which will look better and give you less of the chunky look.

JayH · 02-05-2009, 07:14 AM

It doesn't look like that anymore. About 18 months ago that bumper aborbed a 40mph impact from another 5000 lb Grand Cherokee with an ARB bull bumper on it on our way home from a RimRock wheelin trip. To its credit, my dog was in the back cargo area at the time and didn't get a scratch. No matter how it looked, it saved my best friend's life.

This is what I had on my old ZJ. The pipe strapped inside the bumper was a small reservoir for my on-board air compressor.
