Default FabFours Rear Bumper Reviews

Thinking about pulling the trigger for a FabFours Rear bumper.

To those that already own one, are you satisfied?

fab fours does not have anything for fuel cans or a rack. They told me it would have to be something to be custom fab'd.

Well, that is a pain in the a55! What is the point if you can't put some cans and tools on there?

The only thing that is on it is a spot to mount the hi-lift jack. Other than that its is just a mean looking add to your jeep.

I do. The latch makes too much noise with a tire on it. the inside of the hitch and some other places are already getting surface rust. I clean my jeep pretty often. Also the pop up pin to lock the swing gate scrathes the bumber. But I like the way it looks.

My new favorite rear is the LOD - it has the spare tire carrier, gerry can carrier, a place for a high lift or an ax and had fog lights in the rear. I have one on order... I will do a complete review complete with photos for you all when I get it.

By the way - Chris up there at LOD is a good man and will answer all of your questions.

I've also heard from others that it rattles. Is part of the reason it rattles because it doesn't contact the bumpstops on the tailgate snug enough?
Thanks!
