Reviews for Smittybilt 77858 XRC Gen2 Rear Bumper for 18-23 Jeep Wrangler JL

Great product, easy install

My new rear bumber, is sooooooo much better than the plastic bumper! Strong and solid!

Good Product, pretty easy to install once you can get past the horrendous instructions.

Within two months after installation there is rust between the stainless steel cut of the XRC. Also, after installing the tire carrier there is delamination of the coating of the stainless steel plate as well.

Great bumper. It will, in fact, replace the plastic bumper. I have a Rubicon JL with plastic bumper, no backup sensors. Replaced very easily. Instructions are non-existent but the install is straight forward. Includes plugs for the backup sensor holes. License plate relocation kit is poorly designed but it works. Makes it a pain to remove rear tire. Remounting the trailer wiring plug causes it to hang pretty low in order to clear the bottom of the bumper, i can see it getting smacked by rocks. Bumper would get 5 stars by itself, lack of instructions and license plate relocation goofiness gets it four overall from me.

This bumper is solid, stout, and enhances the look of my Jeep. Measured no sag in rear after install. I like that this includes LED lights and I opted to wire them to the reverse lights. I gave it 4 stars because of the license plate relocation. If you were to use it, then you need to re-route the license plate light wiring to the tailgate, and figure out a way in which you can still remove the spare tire easily. You can do it, but with great effort. Currently, I’m using a rubber coated bar magnet to temporarily mount the license plate under the driver side tail light, and will wire LED screw bolts to the original license plate wiring to act as a license plate light until I can find a permanent mounting solution. My bumper did not come with sensor plugs, but I emailed Smittybilt and they’re shipping them no problem. Quadratec price matched a sale on this bumper about 1 week after I purchased, and refunded $93. Very happy overall.

The bumper was a very easy installation and looks great. The bumper did come with plugs for the back up sensor holes some of the reviews said it did not but mine had them. I modified the license plate bracket and mounted it to bumper. I bought a small LED light and used one of the predrilled holes for the light.

Great, sturdy bumper. Includes license plate relocation kit- can be installed upside down so that it doesn't block back-up camera. Unfortunately I was told by Quadratec that this did not have holes for back-up sensors. Turns out it does have holes, and it does not include plugs.

It came a little damaged but I called them for replacement part and they sent it right away the install was not that bad although it was 95 out it wasn’t to bad. It’s very very heavy.

Looks good and is definitely heavy duty. Directions were a little unclear (written only for Rubicon editions) but workable. It would be nice if Smittybilt included plugs for the four back-up sensor holes in the bumper if your Jeep is not equipped with them. Overall, very pleased though.
