Rear bumper for hitch- crash rated

[JAMAS]

Kat-

Have you received/installed the new bumper protector yet?

I am still on the fence about whether or not to get one.

Yeah Jon, we got it, a very substantial, WELL MADE item. Good thick powder coat finish, and very grippy step area. Has 2 huge rubber donuts at the "T" and more rubber inserts you fit inside the neck, so you custom fit it to your hitch for the correct snug fit. For $120 (from the manufacturer website, best price I found), very good value. I still like the look of the "Go Rhino" one better, but I really liked the safety aspect of this one. This one is not curved like the Go Rhino, as the curved part would hit the truck in an accident. The owner (Jeff Mohr) handled all the emails and has excellent cust serv! Gave us 2 free hitch pin locks and several of the front license plate bumpers too.

I don't have my hitch installed yet so I can't put it on, but Dave's going to install his on the FJ. We just got back from camping, er, um, monsoon camping , so he'll be installing it maybe today or tomorrow. I'll post pics.

Thanks Kat!

Hey Jon, have you decided on one yet?
Here's some pics of the superbumper installed. It's less intrusive/overpowering aesthetically than I thought it would be. Course if I get it powdercoated purple as T4B suggests....it might be a bit more, um, obnoxious.

I was concerned about how it would look, until I saw it on yours.

I definitely think I will get one now.......well.....maybe around Christmas.

Thanks for testing it out for us....the look of it kinda grows on you. Plus its protection.

Once I get her all cleaned up and purdy again, I'll take some better pics of the, um, rear end, so you can see some better pics. It does "blend" in more than I thought it would.
We have to take it off and get one more rubber donut on it, so it's really tight. It comes with those 2 big donuts you can see, as well as 3 addl skinnier donuts to use to really get it as snug as possible, (so it has max compression ability). We'll never get all 3 on, but definitely can get 1 on.

I just ordered mine.

Of course, just to be different I'm going to weld a plate to it to mount my license plate on it. We'll see how that goes.

Looking at their site.....I wonder how good the Bumper Shield XL is.

Sue, is the SuperBumper easy to remove if I needed to use my clevis shackle insert?

Takes 2 seconds..just unlock & remove the hitch pin, then pull it out. It weighs around 15 lbs.

Actually, I hadn't even seen that on the website....sounds really good for off road. I want something to take the hit and scraping instead of the rear cladding or gas skid plate. It weighs 2 lbs MORE than the bumper! It must be a good chunk of metal.
I think I'm goin' get me one of these!
