Thinking of doing the ARB Bondi front and ARB rear bumper. But I'm having trouble finding really anything on the rear bumper from people who have them. Does anyone have any side shots of the ARB rear bumper. For the life of me all I can find are pics at an angle or just a straight on rear view. Trying to see how the bumper lines up with the rear fender and what have you. Any help would be much appreciated

Not what you asked, but I went with a bumper from Rock Hard 4x4. I chose this one mainly because it has a cut out for rear license plate. I did not like the other options.

Gutted Rubicon flares. Rustys black rear fascia. ARB Bondi rear. I have the ARB front stubby.

What's it look like? Did you pair it with a Rock Hard front bumper?

I needed a front bumper that was rated for towing. I tow our Jeep JL behind our motorhome. I also wanted a winch. I had it set with Blue Ox fittings. Not many front bumpers can be towed.

I didn't have to match the front bumper however, I wanted one with an integrated license plate.

@Terrymo what is this hole in your rear for? šŸ˜„

I'm hoping it's for an auxiliary reverse light.

Also, have you come down off a ledge and hit the rear bumper?
I'm curious if it's rigid enough to NOT flex into the body like the factory steel bumpers.

Nope I’m just weird and blacked out the ARB logo on the front and rear bumper. Other than a grey decal on my Warn winch, I have no logos or emblems, Jeep or otherwise. I haven’t dopped onto it yet. Most trails we do locally are sandy washes or dirt with boulders. So I’m more likely to roll a rock under the skids and get turtled. We just registered for Jeep Jamboree in Moab next fall so maybe I’ll find out and report back to you.

This thread has been very helpful; thank you to everyone who posted. Does anyone know about how far the red ARB recovery points protrude from the back of the jeep, relative to the end/face of the factory hitch receiver? Or has anyone tried using a Pakmule Swayback cargo carrier with this bumper?

I use my Pakmule all the time for camping, and I'm wondering if the ARB bumper's recovery points would interfere with it. It's hard to guess from the pictures but those red hooks seem to be sticking out there a bit. At 6.5" rearward from the center of the hitch pin (or ~4" from the face of the factory hitch receiver) the "basket" of the Pakmule rises up almost four inches from the top of the tongue and runs the width of the jeep... maybe high/close enough to hit those recovery points, depending on how far they stick out?

I already had a problem with interference once when moving from 285 to 315 KO2 tires on the factory tire carrier -- it was just enough to require the purchase of an adjustable tire carrier to avoid having the top edge of the Pakmule hit the larger tire. Would like to avoid a similar surprise with the ARB hooks if I can.
