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.
Your rear bumper has the potential to take more abuse than any other body armor on your Jeep. Whether it’s 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!
For Wranglers and Jeep CJ's running heavier / larger spare tires, Tank Mounts, or Rock Rack Cargo Baskets should consider a Frame Kit. These help support your rear bumper to your frame. All are bolt on except the RH-2001-YJ which requires welding. Frame Brace is required for the YJ.
A: There isn't really an advertised towing capacity, just that it will tow the mfg recommended maximum weight.
