scored mine for 6 Hundo right before Xmas one year, used a bunch of online coupons to get it down to that price and free shipping. Here it is holding a 37 and can mount. a little imagination goes a long way when trying to mount stuff on it or roof racks for that matter.

 

Your jeeps one of my fav I've seen. Like the set up How is that hard is rack to install been looking at getting some In future

 

The roof rack? It wasn't hard, but I wouldn't recommend doing it in December like I did because I couldn't wait. You def need another set of hands to help get it on and centered. The hardest part is drilling out the Hardtop but the kit actually comes with these huge templates you just lay tape on the hardtop and mark off and drill. It has some room for adjustment so being spot on isn't totally necessary bout 95% is right. Then you just bolt up the rest and it's on.

Or if you were talking about the Rock Hard Mount it's stupid easy pull it out of the box and bolt it on, use a level to make sure it's straight and tighten, DONE. The can itself is secured down with a ratchet since I don't trust what rock hard sends with it.

 

Does this bumper retain stock hitch or is it built in bumper? I f built in, what is tow rating?

 

Its built into the bumper you lose the factory one. And due to legal issues Smittybilt doesn't offer a tow rating on it but I've seen people tow plenty with it, they just didn't want to get into the safetly/legal issues with it so they left it as for use with aftermarket add-ons only (bike racks, ski racks)

 

Thanks for the comments, at this point it is looking like the one to get.

 

@ quadratec.com they have it with 5 year warranty. Havent looked at other sites sure you can find cheaper still with warranty. I'm sure smittybilt offers warranty. But def a dependable bumper

 

Is this bumper powdercoated?...

 

It's textured black.

 

Hitch is built into the bumper.

I purchased & installed mine about a year ago. The "paper installation instructions" I have say 3500 lb max tow.

Just checked online and the later version install instructions show no tow rating.
