Warn Rock Crawler Bumper

[The Real Lxxtsy]

I couldn’t do that! I’d give it to you.

That's very kind of you bro, but you enjoy it and can't wait to see it mounted on your jeep.

Tell me that doesn’t look BRAND NEW! I’m not a painter or the son of a painter. Yes, those are beer cans. no, I did not drink them all today. That was today and yesterday.

That looks BRAND NEW! Great job!!. I like that semi gloss or satin black too.

Your frame tie-ins and dirtworx bumper look great by the way!

Hey, thanks. Your Warn turned out excellent. That really does look brand new. Great job with the paint. I love finding used parts in good shape to resurrect.

Nice, I found a similar one. Yours does not have a tire carrier connection right? When I was trying to find out more about it it looked like it was made for a YJ, is that right? I ended up finding both front and rear, sandblasted them and painted in Hammered Matte Black. I've been unsuccessful in extracting 3 bolts that the previous owner cut off. Still a work in progress for me...

Oh wow, you got the front too! Congrats! I’ve been looking for one.

Right, mine does not have the tire carrier. It’s just like yours. I think it looks at home on a TJ.

I have the same bumper. Made the chain tie out of a section of the oem bumper and had a buddy weld it in:thumbup: I have the frame ties. The most I have towed was a 5x10 trailer with some kayaks.

I found the front on Craigslist and when I was talking to the seller they mentioned he had a rear too. Both needed a bit of work but glad I found them.

@JMT raising this thread from the dead. Found the same warn in FB for $150, I want to ditch my curt/quadratech bumper. No plans for towing but needs to support cargo rack for camping and ideally let me install your oem recovery hook (or other) Did you keep the poison spider tie ins and did you end up having to drop the tank?

I did keep the PS tie-ins, and I was able to get 7 of the 8 bolts into the rear crossmember to Warn bumper by just lowering the tank slightly, but it was a challenge. I dropped the tank a few years later and installed the missing 1 at that time.

Would you use as a camping cargo carrier without the tie ins?

I’ve pulled a trailer with weight up to 1,400lbs, used a cargo carrier, and 4-bike rack with the tie-ins regularly with no issue. I’ve never done those things without the tie-ins. I don’t think I’m qualified to answer your questions.

P.s. I like the bumper.

IMO, the frame tie-ins are for towing/pulling. Probably doesn't add much to the crossmember's tongue weight capacity.
Although, it can't hurt.
