Default Another rear bumper question

Does anyone know if the Warn rear bumper/tire carrier will accept jerry can, etc. attachments? What about the Mopar bumper/tire carrier?

I love my shrockworks front bumper, but don't want to wait so long for a rear.

sorry, but no, neither the warn or the mopar bumper tire carrier will accept jerry cans mounts or a trail rack.

Durango 4x4 has a Jerry can mount, they claim it will work on a Warn JK rear bumper with tire carrier.

That is one badazz setup. WOL, do you daily drive that beast? If so is it always racked and canned out back there?

Thanks. The LOD's are nice, but I'd like to find a bumper that integrates the factory tow hitch receiver, if possible. The Warn, Mopar and Shrockworks all do this, but they each seem to have their downsides too.

X2 on WOL's answer. The Warn can be modified and the Mopar bumper is thin and sucks.

Rhonda back into a tree and pushed the right rear quarter back.

Why would you want to integrate the factory tow hitch receiver? It hangs too low IMO. The LOD raises the receiver and makes for a clean line. You can probably sell your factory receiver on the forum for $50 or more - I'm sure someone will buy it.

Good luck.

Welcome to my dilemma, lol, check out the Expedition One, it uses the factory hitch.

True, but I think I would rather drag my hitch mount before my bumper. It also makes you raise the mounting position of the spare. So far from what I have seen though the LOD manages the tire height with intergrated hitch the best.

I love the way the LOD looks and the way the Expedition One functions
