Default Rear bumper

Found this in Craigslist

Looks as if its the e auto grilles knockoff but with a spider name.
The listing says its $425, has anybody ever heard of spider or is this the knockoff under a different name?

That's what I thought. There's a guy selling a used original style body armor local to me too for $400. Same style I had on my old LJ now that is a solid bumper! Hopefully he still has it when I have the $. Not usually my case though :(

Does anybody know a way by looking at this bumper that it is for the JK the seller says it is I just want to make sure before I lay down the cash.

I know it's a body armor bumper it's the same as I had on my old TJ. And for a little while they were selling this with modified mounts for the JK.

That I know. It was exactly the same as the TJ that they modified the mounting points to fit the JK. I'm trying to see if anybody knows a measurement or something that I could go by.

I would just pull your rear bumper and tire carrier. Bring a friend with you and have them hold it up to the Jeep and check the mount holes.

I am sorry, that is what I was referring to. With the way it mounts inside the framerail it reminds me of the way my old TJ bumper installed.

If they retrofitted the bumper to fit inside JK framerails then the guy above me is right. I havent really seen a JK bumper mounted that way though.
