Key Features:

Engineered for durability and ease of use, the Rock Slide Engineering Rigid Rear Bumper Shorty offers a range of features tailored to Jeep Wrangler JL owners:

• Constructed from heavy-duty 3/16 inch (10-gauge) steel for superior strength and impact resistance
• Textured black powder coat finish applied via a state-of-the-art automated system for long-lasting corrosion protection
• Designed to follow factory body lines and mate perfectly with stock fender flares for a seamless look
• Integrated recovery hitch and multiple recovery points for safe and efficient vehicle recovery
• Utilizes factory mounting points for a straightforward, no-drill installation process
• Improves rear approach angles, enhancing off-road capability
• Made in the USA with a limited lifetime warranty on powder coat and electrical components

Construction & Design:

The Rigid Rear Bumper Shorty is crafted from 3/16 inch thick steel, providing a robust foundation capable of withstanding harsh off-road conditions. The steel is acid-etched before powder coating, ensuring superior adhesion and a textured black finish that resists chips, scratches, and corrosion. The bumper’s design carefully follows the Jeep JL’s factory contours, maintaining the vehicle’s aesthetic while offering enhanced protection and functionality. Its compact “shorty” profile reduces rear overhang, improving clearance and approach angles essential for trail riding.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is designed to be user-friendly, leveraging the Jeep Wrangler JL’s factory mounting points to eliminate the need for drilling or permanent modifications. This ensures a clean, professional fit and simplifies the upgrade process. Depending on your current bumper setup—whether replacing a plastic or steel bumper—you may need to purchase additional Mopar sensor mounting brackets and bezels to maintain parking sensor functionality. These components are available separately and include specific part numbers for easy reference.
