Rock Defense Rear Bumper
HREW bumpers are strong, but Trail-Gear had to take things to the next level by making our bumpers out of 1020 DOM (1.75" X .120" wall) with a .25" CNC formed steel plate winch mount. 1020 DOM is more dent resistant than HREW tubing and it will not split down the seam as we have all seen the cheaper HREW tubing do. We can confidently say that our Rock Defense bumpers are one of the strongest on the market. Mounting holes on the winch plate are drilled for most 5000-9500 model low-profile winches and smaller sized 9.0R Warn competition winches. For larger winches some minor trimming of the grill may be required. Bumper also features a shackle receiver mount that will make a great anchor point for winch or strap recoveries.
NOTE: Shipping on FJ front bumper is $150.00 (Continental U.S. only). Unpainted steel finish. Not intended for use with a body lift. Bumper not rated for towing.
