Here are a few. Much more clearance. Also don’t have the bumper doing damage to the body anymore.

Hmmmm. I’d just be worried about coming down on the body directly but maybe that’s not a thing that’ll happen. I’ll have to check and see

I think you’ll find out you won’t really get too close. From the looks and my experience you only really usually catch the edge of the bumper. Check your marks and you’ll see your departure onto the bumper. It’s no where near the body. The taller the tire the more it pushes the body away from an obstacle. You can see how steep the angle is to the body vs the bumper. Draw a virtual line and you’ll see what I mean.

Ya you are right. I should be ok. I’ll maybe take it off when we get home in a few weeks

As extreme as you guys get...maybe you just need a bumper with built in heavy duty casters. :cwl::cwl::cwl:

Lmao. J

ust a bar back there with some caster wheels so it can pivot around. Lmao
That would be funny. Maybe we can do that as a joke

Actually, you guys aren't far off. BestTop's rear JK bumper comes with an optional roller for exactly this reason.

Kevin, go check out [Banned Site] on YouTube. I don't know if you've seen his channel but he does some nice builds and he removed his rear bumper too. He did a very clean job and moved the plate that you keep killing. I think you'll like it.

Just to add...you could do a hitch mounted stinger too. Here's the one [Banned Site] used...

They sell that stinger (updated design with more clearance.) I bought one because I always had an issue scraping the hitch at moab. Very stout piece of metal.
