Rugged Ridge 11547.10 Aluminum Rear Bumper Step Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2016

Taking the light weight theme further, we have developed steel inner framed Aluminum Rear Bumper Pods. These new lightweight Pods still allow for over sized tires but take a huge chunk of weight out of the bumper. (The picture shows the rear pods installed with the enclosed steel D rings for the XHD Rear Tire Carrier). Each Pod can be used with tire carrier part #11546.20 to hang those 35+ tires, shown in picture with the optional center step. The XHD Aluminum bumper pods are approximately 40lbs+ lighter than the average steel off road bumper. Government studies show a fuel economy benefit of 2% for every 100lbs of weight savings.
