The Smittybilt XRC Gen 2 Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier: The Complete Install Video

We purchased this bumper over a year ago for Kims Jeep Bella and have absolutely LOVED it so I thought it was time to ditch that ugly plastic bumper on Lagatha and replace it with one of these.
I feel like it's the "Swiss Army knife" of rear bumpers because it does offer so many features!
The bumper has a UHMW (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) to provide the ultimate protection for rock crawling. It's manufactured from 3/16-inch cold rolled steel with two-stage light textured powdercoat finish with a 5 year limited warranty. It actually includes the rear cutouts and LED lights.
It offers heavy duty Fender-to-fender protection with a true Class III hitch for true towing with towable D-ring mounts. Anti-rattle provision provided for receiver hitch. Once you add the Tire Carrier you'll get a mount for two 1.75gal Rotopax cans, a High lift jack mount, as well as an Antenna mount for you CB, Ham, or GMRS radio.

    great video! great instructions! i really like your rig, i love the "copper-head" paint color. You should post some pictures after you got all the plastic / chrome items painted.

    I think I have an older generation bumper. Just curious about the purpose of the smittybilt swing arm if it’s already attacked to the door.

    This puts the weight of the larger tire and wheel on the frame instead of the much weaker door hinges so that you don’t develop door sag after bouncing around on the trails.
