Reviews for Smittybilt KIT 76896 XRC Rear Atlas Bumper and Tire Carrier for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Awesome bumper!

Installed well, holes lined up, it is heavy tho.
The tire carrier is solid and looks good.
The two jerry gas can bins in the tire carrier are very useable.
Latch mechanism could be more robust but works, if a little hard to pull. Might need a bit more alignment.
I would like to find a cargo rack that would install over the tire.

Fits perfectly. Took about 5 hours to install, 3 hrs is good for the bumper, 2 more hrs for the spare tire carrier.

I really wanted to rate this 3 or 4 stars due to missing hardware but folks want to know about the bumper quality not shipping issues. This thing is a BEAST! No way it's a one man job, had 2 friends helping me. Due to missing frame bracket we just welded this bad boy in place. It does take some tweaking and best to load it up with what you want to carry, i.e., spare tire, full gas cans, jack, etc. for proper alignment under load. We did that and it still shut properly when unloaded. Heavy-duty for sure!

A beast to install! Fairly easy, but heavy - will need another set of hands to assist with initial bumper bolts then again for tire carrier. Instructions are pretty good, good fit (2016 4-door), heavy duty. Adjustments worked as designed. No issues

Pretty solid I like it alot... some of the finish was kinda damaged but hidden by the tire so no big deal

I really like the look and the extra space between the back of my Jeep and the tire carrier. My only word of warning on this is pay to have someone install it. a) It's a beast and b) there are several little things that have to line up or you end up with a rattle and a bunch of wear that you don't want. Even after I had it installed, I had a rattle and had to take it back in, but now it is perfect.

Great Bumper, easy install, perfect fit. My only complaint is that they didn't specifically design it to accommodate the 3rd brake light wiring or rear facing floods if you choose to install in the provided mounting locations.

Love this bumper. Everything lined up perfectly with and installed smoothly.

Great heavy duty bumper, extremely well made! Took the estimated time to take off the old bumper and install the new. Can't wait to take it off roading once my lift is complete.
