Rock Hard 4x4 is very proud to offer the strongest and most durable Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier that comes fully loaded, standard.

The RH4x4 Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier is one of our favorite products. Not only is it the only rear bumper with integrated tire carrier made out of 3/16" x 2" x 4" thick plate steel, it's also the easiest to use. We've seen people struggle to open or close their tire carrier cage and thought, "that'll never be me". That never will be you with our proprietary dual-stage latching mechanism and "pre-load" design to prevent vibration and wobbling.

Our Rear Bumpers are full width to protect your vulnerable corner panels and tail gates. With end plates designed to provide maximum departure angle and clearance, our design prevents you from getting "hung up" on tough trails and sharp, off camber turns. Plus, with oversized tires, rubbing and tire gouging is never a concern. The bottom plate of our bumper hugs the rear cross member behind your Jeep for more ground clearance than even some competition bumper designs.

Bumper and Tire Carrier Weight: 110 lbs.

Dimensions
59" wide
5" from OEM rear cross member / bumper mounting surface to outside of receiver

Strength and Function
Your rear bumper has the potential to take more abuse than any other body armor on your Jeep. Whether its on road traffic collisions or off road rock damage, you need some serious armor to keep you safe. 3/16" thick plate steel is the ultimate armor to protect your vulnerable rear corners, tailgate, and fuel tank. High clearance corners, user friendly "1-finger operation" latch, and a weather resistance finish make this rear bumper combo a no brainer.

The secret to our tire carrier's success is our in house designed and constructed hub assembly. Instead of a single bearing system like competing models, we use a dual bearing and race combo for smooth and consistently reliable operation. See our components section below for complete details.

All this strength adds up to one of the best spare tire size carrying capacities on the market: a massive 38" tire!

Options
Longer off road excursions require more cargo and fuel. Our Rear Bumper's unique tire design is the perfect platform for accessories. Our optional heavy duty driver and passenger side Tank Mounts and Cargo Rack bolt on to our tire carrier to give you space you need for extended range or duration trips.

With the addition of our rear bumper comes the opportunity to also protect your exposed and critical fuel tank. Our bolt-on RH-3008 Gas/Fuel Tank Skid Plate mounts to your frame giving you a plate of solid 3/16" steel armor. This simple addition to your RH4x4 rear gives you peace of mind and increased capability.

Ease of Installation
It does not take a PhD to install the best rear bumper and tire carrier on the market. No welding is required and the truly bolt on design makes your garage your own off road shop.


Components
RH4x4 Rear Bumpers and Tire Carriers are very recognizable for two major reasons: owners bragging about how durable it is and it's clean, functional design. What makes up a RH4x4 Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier is what makes it so strong.

By mounting your rear bumper as close to your frame rails as possible, ground clearance is maximized and protects your rear frame cross member.


Bolt on tailgate streamer bar helps apply preload to closed tire carrier gate preventing vibrating and wobbling. A Rock Hard 4x4 exclusive feature.


Newest design allows you to move your spare tire up and down or in and out for best fitment and visibility.


Integrated 2" receiver hitch included in every rear bumper.


Safety pin to prevent tire carrier closure when you are stopped on an angle and accessing rear compartment.



Integrated welded on CB antenna mounts standard on every tire carrier.


Integrated Hi-Lift jack mount standard on every tire carrier.


Zerk style grease fitting to service hub assembly.


Welded on heavy duty recovery shackle tabs. Our tabs are welded onto the face, travel through the bumper, and are again welded onto the backside of the bumper's skin. This is standard Rock Hard 4x4 ingenuity and simply not offered by other manufacturers.


Secondary mounting holes allow for Wranglers with a body lift or increased departure angle. A RH4x4 exclusive feature!
