Designed to offer simple and light weight protection, the Jeep JK ARB rear bumper can be fitted with an optional wheel*carrier assembly allowing the fitment of a spare tire up to 37 inches (modifications to the 3rd brake light may be required to*fit a 37” spare tire).

Incorporating two 20mm recovery eyelets designed to receive a 4.75t D-shackle and two Hi-Lift jacking points, the rear*bumper can be fitted as a protection device on its own, allowing the original spare to remain mounted to the rear door.*Alternatively, the rear bumper can be optioned with the new “catchless” design wheel carrier. The wheel carrier opens*automatically when the vehicle tailgate is opened and has adjustment for up to 1 inch body lift kits.

Manufactured from 3mm laser cut and folded steel sheet, the upswept wings give superior departure angle while also*protecting the rear quarter panels from damage. The center pan section is recessed to allow for fitment of larger than*standard tyres to the wheel carrier.

The rear bumper does not incorporate a tow hitch but is designed to integrate with a factory fitted or aftermarket receiver*hitch that mounts to the center of the chassis rear cross member.

RECOVERY POINTS:
Recovery points manufactured from flame cut*20mm steel plate pass through the rear bumper*and are welded to the mounting bracket*uprights for extra reinforcement.

The rear bumper recovery points include an*elongated slot so that the shackle bow can be*passed through the point, allowing the shackle*to pivot when pulling from slight angles.

KNOCK OUT:
Pre laser cut holes are provided in the rear*bumper for fitment of the wheel carrier. If no*carrier is to be fitted, the knock out sections are*simply left in place.

HI-LIFT JACK POINTS:
Designed primarily for Hi-Lift brand jacks, the*Hi-Lift jacking point is reinforced with 4mm*steel plate to prevent distortion or damage.*When the jack leg is inserted into the point,*the lip of the jack foot locates past the internal*reinforcing plate to prevent slippage.*When not in use, jacking points are fitted with a*rubber plug.

TAILGATE SUPPORT :
The tailgate support incorporates a plastic cup*assembly that gives full support to the wheel*carrier while also allowing for movement between*the chassis and body. The adjustable tie rod*connects the carrier arm to the door, allowing the
arm to move with the door as it is opened and*closed, negating the need for a separate catch*assembly

PLASTIC BEARING ASSY :
Machined plastic bushes are used as bearings in*the hub. These should require no future adjustment*or servicing. The bearing cap is a push-in*interference fit.
