UCF Aluminum Rear Bumper for Jeep YJ, TJ & LJ

Where heavy-duty and ultra-light meet.

This rear bumper combines 6061-T6 aluminum and carbon steel for a very strong, lightweight product that weighs about 30 lbs less than the traditional rear bumper and tire carrier.

Construction and specs

• Bumper sub-structure and lower frame tie-in plates: 3/16" carbon steel plate, with a 1/4" thick receiver tube
• D-ring mounts: 3/4" steel plate. Steel crossmembers under the aluminum skin carry the D-ring mounts, so they never rely on an aluminum weld
• Sub-structure weldment fully MIG welded
• Bumper body: 3/16" 6061-T6 aluminum, formed with large-radius tooling to maintain the integrity of the material, then TIG welded inside and out
• Total weight: about 41 lbs

What's included: Two-piece bumper (inner cross-member and outer cover), two lower plates that attach both to the frame at the ends, and the hardware that attaches the outer cover to the cross-member. Hardware to install the cross-member is not included; factory hardware can sometimes be reused. Tire carrier is not included.

Finish: ships raw, with no paint or powder coat, so you can finish it however you like. Aluminum comes from the mill with printed grade markings. If you plan to run it bare, without paint, clean the markings off with acetone or brake cleaner before you install it.

Fits the CJ-7 with no trimming.
