OP
It’s made out of 3/16” plate, with exception to the shackle mounts. Not sure how thick those are off the top of my head.

Yep. Why even drive a Jeep if you aren't gonna chop the back of the frame off and weld it back on an inch higher?
I modified a high clearance bumper to make it into what I wanted it to be by adding a lower lip to wrap the cross member and adding width to protect the tub corners. I might have the skill set for a frame raise, but I haven't had a garage setup with enough space to do that and honestly I'm not even sure I'm mentally prepared to do it.
If this bumper had existed (or if it did, and I had known about it) in March of 2022 I'd probably have bought this one and never though about it again. Instead I have the body lift butt crack reminding me on the daily that I haven't done a frame raise.
Let’s do the frame tuck together. I’m planning mine at the end of June. I’m ready mentally (know what I have to do), just waiting on a part for another project I’m doing at the same time.
- Upper perch relocation
- Gas tank cut off correction
- Rear frame tuck
- 10mm spacer for passenger side to level the rig.
Just to be clear from my perspective, if you don't have the means or skill/welder to do a tuck, then I think this bumper is a good minimalist option.
Haha. That would be great, I'm a quality welder short of making it happen though. I'm still working with a 120V harbor freight flux core and I'd really like to have a decent MIG before I start doing welds that need to be really structurally sound.
I've got the Olympic rear bumper that I picked since it had a tow hitch. But drag it does.
Plan is to do the rear tuck and switch out the bumper. This bumper is a good looking alternative with adequate corner protection.
I might ask them if they would make a similar one that accommodates the tuck.

Great looking bumper! The departure angle on your TJ is incredible and this bumper compliments it perfectly. This is a good option for those not wanting to go through the effort to "tuck" The rear crossmember
I have seen this bumper with a hitch receiver and more bolts too. They said it could be added if you contacted them.
I look forward to more product being released from this company!
