Default Rear bumper

Hey, got a newbie here. I just purhased my first jeep, it has an awesome looking front bumper with winch and all, but it has the factory rear bumper that I dont like. What are you guys take on rear bumpers (brand, style, ect....)? I need one with built in reciever hitch.

There are TONS of options out there I'd recommend going to quadratec.com and just start looking and get an idea of what style u like (full length mid length with carrier without carrier with reverse lights without lights etc.)

Ok thanks. Since I have never had a jeep before and dont know better, would it be worth the money to spend extra on tire carrier? the factory seems like it puts alot of strain on rear gate

That depends on if you're gonna run larger than stock tires if you're sticking with the stock size ud be fine with the factory carrier

Whoa 20's! Seriously though, with a 35, you will want an after market tire carrier of some kind. You can run the stock one but expect issues down the road.

Im actually wouldn't mind selling it and get an older jeep. I have always loved jeeps and now that I got one it is to new to use like I would like to. Its 2010 model with only 5800 miles on it and thousands of $$$ worth of aftermarket stuff

What are you wanting to use it for? It's a Jeep, just dive in! Change out what you don't like and make it your own.
