Evo doesn't make a rear bumper that is why they make this style carrier they do make a Facia for the rear frame rails to dress it up a little and I think it looks good.


But if it where me and you are dead set on a rear bumper I would look into the poison spyder bfh rear bumper. It's sleek and low profile. Or just build your own.

Was thinking an option could be to take the existing tire carrier off the xrc bumper and leave that bumper in place. (Would need to cut off the attachment points and re powdercoat

^ I was thinking of doing the same. Right now I have an e autogrilles tire carrier ( same thing as smitty) and I will be going with a genright tire carrier soon, but I want to keep the bumper. I was thinking of taking a grinder to both spots that need to get chopped up; that or take it to a body shop and toss them a few bucks to do it for me

I was thinking the same. Just wondered if it would be better to sell the whole setup rather than chop it up and part out the carrier.

I think the look with the carrier and the bumper would be pretty sweet tho
