I am interested in buying this bumper for my 2020 JLUR- Body Armor 2019-2023 Jeep Wrangler JL Full-Width Rear Bumper.
It is made with 3/16th steel all around.
Can anyone confirm that this is a good bumper?
Is 3/16" too thin, especially with wings that protect the rear quarter panels.
I didn't get the Mopar Steel bumpers when I ordered my Jeep because I heard that if you came down on it it would hit the tub and damage it.
On my last ride, I broke my plastic Mopar bumpers and want to upgrade to something strong.
Any help is appreciated.

Look on FB marketplace or on the sell threads here for some factory take offs for cheaper, would be my opinion.

I like it! It doesn't quite fully wrap around all the way under the fender flare so there will be a small opening or gap, if that's going to bother you. 3/16" steel is good & strong in my book.

No matter what bumper you are interested in this video is worth a watch.

Do you know of a bumper that has side wings that go all the way? I'd be interested. Thanks.

The thing that would drive me nuts is the fact that it doesn't look like it is on there straight. probably an optical illusion, but that bothers the SH out of me...

It's all about the camera angle.

Just to trigger your OCD. ARB rear bumper with gutted fenders and Rustys Off-road rear fascia. Nothing matches but it is what it is.
