I have the Pure Jeep Bare Bonez in the front and want something just as light weight for the back. Any ideas? I want to retain the factory license plate bracket..

My LOD stubby bumper and tire carrier isn't that heavy I'd say roughly 125 pounds. Me and my buddy tossed it around no problem only liked the extra hands because it was kind of awkward. Wasn't too crazy on the price either

Benchmark is going to have something out really soon that you might be interested in. Here's the link. The info on the rear bumper is on the last two pages of the thread. Small, lightweight, works with OEM hitch, and will have an optional tire carrier.

The rear pictured above should be less than 40 lbs.

Right around $250 shipped. That includes powdercoating and d-ring mounts.
