Rock Hard 4x4 Patriot Series Rear Bumper w/ Tire Carrier

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

The RH4x4 Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier is one of our favorite products. Not only does it have the strongest mounting system on the market, it's also the easiest to live with. We've seen people struggle to open or close their tire carrier cage and think, "that's not the way it has to be". RH4x4's proprietary dual-stage latching mechanism and "pre-load" design prevent vibration and wobbling to help ensure whether you are on the toughest off-road trail or loading gear into the back of your Jeep.

RH4x4's Rear Bumpers are full width to protect your vulnerable corner panels and tail gates including protrusions below your taillights. With end plates designed to provide maximum departure angle and clearance, their 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. Their rear bumper is finished off with an overhang under your tub for a clean look that also provides a skid surface when reversing over an obstacle.

Their rear bumper feature their exclusive frame tie-in's that extend the full length along the sides of your fuel tank. This replaces your factory receiver for the strongest Cherokee rear bumper mounting system on the market.

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. 1/4" thick plate steel corner guards with 3/16" x 2" x 4" thick tubing center sections combine to offer what is truly the strongest bumper you can install. 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 RH4x4's tire carrier's success is their in-house designed and constructed hub assembly. Instead of a single bearing system like competing models, they use a dual bearing and race combo for smooth and consistently reliable operation. 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. RH4x4's Rear Bumper's unique tire design is the perfect platform for accessories. Their optional heavy duty driver side Tank Mount and Cargo Rack bolt on to their tire carrier to give you space you need for extended range or duration trips.

PLEASE NOTE: RH-2003-RT Passenger Side Tank Mount Not Compatible

When installing their rear bumper, you should also consider protecting your exposed and critical fuel tank. Their bolt-on RH-3009 Fuel Tank Skid gives you a plate of solid 3/16" steel armor. Once your gas tank goes your trip is over and it's time to call a tow rig. This simple addition to your XJ 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.
