Reviews for HyLine OffRoad Rear Bumper & Tire Carrier Combo for 87-06 Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ & Unlimited

Installed on my 1992 YJ. I ordered this bumper for the following reasons: Made in ‘Merica, I liked the unique way it opens with the tailgate, and the fact that it was listed as “in stock” (although shipped from a third party) It took 5 weeks for this bumper to be delivered! The customer service dept from Quadratec was very helpful, and i learned that a portion of the bumper was back ordered at Hyline. It came well packaged in 2 separate boxes. It is heavy and seems to be well made with quality craftsmanship (well worth the wait!)
It took over 3 hours for my brother and I to install, but that was because i decided to drop my gas tank so i could properly install and tighten all the bolts that it came with. It looks good, seems secure with no wobble when driving around. I really like the fact that it opens with my tailgate and it doesn't block the gas tank like some other tire carriers.
I would recommend this bumper to others, just be prepared to mess around with the gas tank-which is a whole other project!

Easy to install. Seems to be great quality and made in the USA. Time will tell how durable it is. Definitely like how it functions. Would recommend it.

Great Product, I'm glad I went with Hyline Bumper/ Tire carrier combo. Install was easy and it looks great.

Door opens with tire carrier

I am very pleased with the quality, appearance and fit of this bumper. I have installed several tire carrier/bumpers over the years and found this to be the easiest by far. The MADE IN THE USA was a deciding factor in my purchase. The finish of the powder coating was good, the hardware is top quality. The instructions could have been a little better, but it wasn’t a terrible to figure things out.

First off I did a ton of research when trying to find a bumper/tire carrier. After a long process I decided on the Hyline bumper/carrier. This is a great package and I couldn't be happier. I was looking for a tire carrier that attached to the tailgate on my TJ so I didn't have to juggle the whole latch and unlatch thing. This isn't the cheapest bumper on the market but you get what you pay for. First off this is built in the USA and seems to be great quality. Quadratec shipped it fast and it arrived in two separate boxes. Both were well secured and had no damage and all the hardware and instructions were present and accounted for. Both the bumper and tire carrier have nice even welds and the powder coating is top notch. The bumper is HEAVY so make sure you have jack stands or a buddy that can help install it. Other than that the installation was smooth and held no surprises. It holds the tire well and has no rattles or squeaks going down the road. This carrier also has provisions for a body lift which was a plus in my case since my Jeep has a 1 inch body lift. I can't commit on long term durability since I just installed it this past weekend but judging from everything else I have no doubt that it will hold up well. If you are in the market for a good bumper/tire carrier combo you can't go wrong with this one. While its not the cheapest it is a well built system that looks great on the Jeep!

Great quality, easy install

Put on my 2004 wrangler. Gate closes much easier. Bumper came in scraped and Quadratec took care of it. Easy to install and I like the quality.

I have had this bumper for 3 years. I have mildly wheeled with it and have towed A LOT with it. Get this bumper! I have absolutely no regrets. First, the tire is held in place without shaking or noise. Second, the tire carrier moves out of the way automatically as you open the rear door (very slick). Third, the welding job was done right and the welds look aesthetically pleasing. My friend, who is a very prideful welder himself, felt the welds were done with pride. Fourth, the powder coating was done right and is still holding up well. Fifth, I have towed more weight than the Jeep should really tow and the bumper holds up. The only reason it is not listed as a class 3 bumper is that they did not pay for the testing. It is made well and the bumper itself will not be the weak point of a Jeep's towing capability. Sixth, it is made in America with pride. Seventh, every Jeeper that sees the bumper knows that it is quality and that the rest of the Jeep was most likely done with quality parts upgrades (and it has). So, in conclusion, if you want a no-regrets purchase that won't rattle, won't fall apart, be proud of (maybe brag about), and that you can actually trust; then buy from Hyline. Hyline will be my first and only choice among the many manufacturers when I get a second Jeep. Thanks for reading, hope it was helpful and hope it was very clear why you should get one too.
