Rear bumper full width/full wrap around suggestions?

[Flip]

Hello,

Upon ordering and installing a rear bumper that doesn't fully wrap around under the fender flares. IMO the gap looks unfinished, incomplete, and subject to damage. I did see the rusty's rear facia cover kit option, kudos btw -but it's not for me. Unfortunately, options for full wrap around, under the fender flares appears to be very limited.
In-fact I can only find one; Quadratec Brute Strength Aluminum Rear Bumper for 18-22 Jeep Wrangler JL | Quadratec This is probably the bumper I will end up purchasing but it would be nice to do a little window shopping, if there are any other options on the market? Suggestions, photos and/or links would be great.

Thank you.

There is also the Rival aluminum bumper (full width).

Am I seeing it wrong? In some of those pics, it looks like the same area is unprotected.

It's the stubby version getting mixed in with the full version. I got confused for a second too until I saw both of them being offered ?

It's the listing. There is a full width and a stubby. They've got both pictured. Full width will fit what you're looking for. It's a good bumper and easy install.

It wasn't me looking, but I do like that! I have the new rival steel front bumper and was waiting for the matching rear.

It's a good bumper, I've accidentally smashed it into a tree and the tree took 100% of the damage. Can't even tell the bumper touched anything. The way they ship the bumpers is hilarious. You get a giant bubble wrap banana that you dissect for 30 minutes to reveal a pristine bumper. ?

Did the hitch, license plate bracket all mount and work correctly? It says it accepts the factory license plate light, was the wiring harness long enough?

I had no problem hooking up the factory license plate light & harness. It comes with a hitch but I just kept my factory hitch. They're identical and the factory hitch doesn't need to be removed to install the bumper.

I'd say there's two minor negatives to this bumper (but I'd still buy this bumper again)

One is the license plate holder. It's not like it sticks out the side very far but for some reason I occasionally find my license plate bent in towards the rear and I need to bend it back. I kind of want to relocate the plate to the spare but I haven't bothered to do it yet, to give you an idea of how minor that negative is. The plate holder is an optional part on this bumper.

The bumper does have mounts for ParkSense sensors but those sensors are finicky as hell. They have been slightly confused since I moved them to this bumper. I think this will happen with just about any non-OEM bumper.

When you have time a photo of your rival would be great.

Thank you, much appreciated.

I feel the same way about bumpers as you do. You should checkout Expedition One Trail Series bumpers

They go the full way around. Note that they are pricey. It's what I want to buy, when I decide to fork out the cash.

Here is the one I purchased

It looks great raps around and matches the fender profile

Any of you guys with Rival's front steel bumper running a winch?
