Default OR-Fab 83208 with Barricade Roof Rack Help!

Hi- I have the Barricade Rook Rack- which I installed by mod-ing the OEM bumper. I want to get a bumper that will make it easier to put the rack on and take off (right now I would need to take the rack apart- then I will be left with two holes in the bumper).

I was thinking about the OR-FAB bumper:

Amazon.com: Performance Accessories 83208 Wrinkle Black Finish Rear 2-Door or 4-Door Sheet Metal Bumper: Automotive

Here is a pic of the roof rack on my jeep- not the best angle- but I can post another angle if needed.

Will the roof rack be able to clear the OR-FAB bumper? If anyone knows, or has some good side on shots of the bumper- I would appreciate it.

Bob

I don't have experience with that particular rack, but I have seen the OR Fab bumper work with the Gobi Rack

Thanks remark. It is really hard to tell. I attached a close up of mine, but I can't tell.

I know the body armor bumper works with the body armor rack (which is pretty much the same rack).

If I could get the dimensions of the body armor and or-fab bumper, it might help.

It looks like it should work.

The Gobi Rack also works with the stock bumper. It attaches by brace (seen in the pictures) straight out from the side frame mounting holes where the stock bumper attaches. If your rack is similar then it should be okay.

Btw I have a Gobi Rack, but I am still using the stock bumper. The pictures are of a jeep I saw in the parking lot of the Overland Expo two years ago.
