Default OR-FAB Rear Bumper

Does anyone have any thoughts about this bumper? I am looking to replace my rear bumper soon. I am still stuck with the stock. I would like a bumper that will hold a D-ring shackle left and right. A hitch is not needed nor really wanted. This is for a street and off-road vehicle. My front bumper is Body Armor, but it had to be rigged some to fit. I was told that recent Jeeps only use OEM parts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I purchased one that has the jerry can mounts but decided to sale it for something else. I read that the install is pretty hard and if you get the one that holds the jerry cans it can stick out a bit far. Other than that I read nothing but good things about them.

Thank you. Yeah, I don't think that I will go with the one that does have the jerry can holder. I t sounds like I might be going with that one then. I will either get help with the install or have it done at a shop. I appreciate the info.

I bought the ShrockWorks rear bumper w/ tire carry/rack/dual can mounts. Expensive, but I'm hoping when it arrives at the beginning of August that it will be worth it.

I bought the or-fab rear bumper 2 weeks ago and I get nothing but compliments, they included a bracket to stop shifting so this bumper is sturdy! Only thing I did different was spray paint the drings black to match, I highly recommend it!

I have this bumper and love it. Reasonable price and very easy to put on with no modifications needed. The tire carrier is a different story. Great product but a difficult install including drilling holes in the Jeep.

Thank you for your replies. It sounds like a good bumper to get! Now to save the money... lol Maybe Christmas. One of the reasons I liked it was that it actually had left and right shackles. Many of the bumpers had a hitch instead. I really appreciate the feedback. Anyone willing to fund it?

I bought the PS rear bumper to use with my TF tire carrier. I have not installed the PS bumper which requires drilling/modification and I don't want to deal with that so I want to sell it and install the OR Fab rear bumper. Any more thoughts or issues with it??

Love the OR Fab rear bumper. The tire carrier (non can) is a pain, but the bumper is straight forward. It stands up to abuse pretty well; at least it did last weekend in Johnson Valley.

Just installed the Or Fab rear a few weeks ago. Great fit and easy install.
