thats the one

Strange, I did a good search and can not find one photo, with it mounted on a KJ.
With fitment everything, I wonder how it may fit with a OEM trailer hitch, skid, too many questions....
Here are the vehicles listed for the one size apparently fits all?

kind of a universal one then. thats a shame. more research required. but still not a bad price...

 

[tommudd]

Maybe you think its a good price until you figure in how to mount it etc
I'd say it is not really for the KJ, just got put in there
Wouldn't get too overly excited about it

no love for 07s ?

at that price for a tube bumper that may or may not fit or look right and not knowing how well its made i would just make myself one....or be half way to maybe convincing someone else to **cough cough tom cough:icon_razz:

 

[jharrisliberty]

I think oreilly's carries this one as well online and says it will fit the KJ. I think there is another that has a tire carrier, but they look really suspicious as to whether they would fit a KJ.

this one does state there are provisions for a tire carrier.



and yea the price isnt bad IF it was a bolt on. $640 is the canadian price eh

I'd never pay that much for tubes
And it states the tow hitch isn't for towing only offroad use??
So then I have to take it off to tow.. if it can't be mounted and used for towing then I doubt it'd provide any real protection, it's more like an overpriced rear bull bar that'll cause more damage when hit than without

I assumed "off-road use" would mean recovery but i guess we dont really know.

In my minds eye the hitch receiver on this bumper sits much higher than the tow hitch would. I assumed both would be useful, definitely dumb if you have to remove to tow.

All after market bumpers will state "offroad use" for those with receivers built into them for liability reasons since most do not have the $$$ to have them tested by NHTSA.

The receiver on that tube bumper is for attaching accessories (bike or storage rack etc), not a trailer.
"All RRC rear bumpers feature a reinforced hitch box that is designed for off-road accessories (not designed for towing)"

Per usual...this is RockAuto's catalog being incorrect.

Hence I never shop there.

I have bought quite a few parts from them now and never gotten the wrong one. And especially for us guys up here in Canada they usually have the best prices, even after paying for shipping.
