I bought a bumper /carrier combo back in March of 23. Got the carrier and still no bumper. Does anyone have an idea where I could buy an XRC REAR BUMPER 05 Tj.
 
I'd be wary of Smittybilt's bumper/tire carrier combination. Click on the photo to see what happened.

I'd check eBay or Craigslist. However, why would you waste money on such a terrible bumper?

If it were me I wouldn't spend anymore money on anything from Smittybilt and instead I would buy a better bumper / tire carrier setup.

Actually, I think my XRC bumper is pretty good. It is going on 9 years now with no problems. About the worse thing I can say about it is that it is made in China. Jerry always posts that picture of the busted tire swing any time someone mentions Smittybilt. Maybe the older designs were terrible. The XRC is pretty stout.

Didn't you have a Barricade bumper? I think that's a cousin of Smittybilt. ;)

It doesn't seem like Smittybilt has been producing then lately but they don't show them as discontinued. 4WP only listed them with delayed shipping. There are a few other sellers that show in stock but that's never a guarantee. The bumper part # is 76653. A Google search for the part number will pull up the different retailers. Ebay also has a few. Prices are all over the place, as is typical with Ebay. Here is one that is close to the list price of $479.
