Poison Spyder Brawler Full Width Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier, Tabs & Light Cutouts for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Bumper Plate Steel Construction
Every Brawler bumper starts out as a sheet of 3/16" plate steel. Their CNC laser cutter precisely cuts the flat pattern as designed in their 3D CAD system. Next the bumper parts are CNC brake-formed into the high clearance, multi-faceted pieces that will become a finished bumper. Highly skilled tradesmen weld each bumper together using precision-engineered assembly fixtures for a perfect fit. Finally the complete bumper is sent through their finishing department for final appearance surfacing and quality control checks.

Single-Action Spare Tire Carrier
The Spare Tire Carrier's Single-Action-Opening feature is a huge convenience for when you're trying to open the tailgate and tire carrier with one hand, when you've got an armload of gear or groceries in the other. Rather than latching to itself, the tire carrier is tethered to the tailgate so that they open and close in tandem. A custom designed tie-rod assembly, bumper mechanism and Tramp Stamp™ keep the two pieces perfectly aligned when open, but tight and rattle-free when closed.

Tire Carrier Plate Steel Construction
The RockBrawler™ II Spare Tire Carrier is fabricated entirely from CNC laser cut, precision brake-formed plate steel. The pieces are expertly welded together in a specially designed assembly fixture to ensure consistent fit and quality. A web gusset design is cut into the corner of the tire carrier to provide a little Poison Spyder flare.

Extreme Duty Hinge Assembly
The extreme duty hinge assembly includes a precision CNC machined spindle and housing, with a pair of high quality Timken tapered roller bearings to provide smooth operation under the heaviest loads A spindle seal at the bottom of the hinge assembly keeps your lubrication in, and dirt and water out. The hinge assembly is capped with a CNC machined billet aluminum cap with the Spyder emblem machined in.

2-Way Adjustable Tire Mount
The tire mount is adjustable up and down, as well as in and out, to accomodate a wide variety of tire sizes up to 39". The adjustability allows the tire to be mounted as low as possible for any tire size, to keep a low center of gravity.

License Plate Relocation Mount
The included license plate mount places the license plate at the center of the spare tire, for those who choose to move it there. Unlike the original RockBrawler™ rear bumper, the RockBrawler™ II Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier does NOT obstruct the placement of the stock license plate frame, so the installer may choose to leave it in the stock location or move it to the center of the rear tire using the included bracket. We recommend relocating it, as the stock mount sticks out significantly from the side of the Jeep and is just begging to be torn off by a rock along the trail. If relocating the license plate, the License Plate Delete Cover and LED License Plate & 3rd Brake Light will be useful in completing the relocation.

Integrated Hitch Receiver
The integrated hitch receiver accepts standard 2" hitches and recovery accessories. It is built in to the structure of the Brawler FULL Width Rear Bumper in order to provide a higher clearance, tougher hitch that's there when you need it, but tucked up higher out of the way for better clearance and departure angles on the trail. Includes integrated safety chain loops. IMPORTANT: The integrated hitch receiver is not rated for towing. It is intended as a recovery attachment point only.

Rock Solid Mounting
The JK Brawler FULL Width Rear Bumper incorporates an extra set of mounting bolts, along the bottom of the bumper which fasten into the rear crossmember. Combined with the mounting flange bolts at either side, the bumper is rigidly fastened by a total of 8 Grade 8 bolts, on three different planes to provide ultimate strength and rigidity to the mounted bumper. The drivers side "floating" flange allows for safe, secure tightening to the Jeep's frame rails regardless of manufacturing variances from the Jeep factory.

Recovery Shackle Tabs
The Heavy Duty Recovery Shackle Tabs are CNC machined from 1" thick steel billet, specifically designed to accept their Heavy Duty 3/4" Recovery Shackles. These tabs are designed to match the high clearance aspects of the rest of the bumper and minimized hang-ups. These Heavy Duty Recovery Shackle Tabs come as standard equipment on the Brawler FULL Width Rear Bumper.

Recessed LED Pod Light Mounts
This configuration of the JK Brawler FULL Width Rear Bumper includes provisions for mounting a pair of Rigid Industries Dually (or similar) LED pod lights for use as backup lamps or simply as illumination toward the rear of the Jeep for night runs, after-dark repairs or work lighting. These light mounts are recessed, fully protecting the LED light fixtures from rocks and trail hazards.
