Looking for our Rimrocker Series styling in a lightweight but stout package? We have modified our Rimrocker Series bumpers, by changing out nearly every component for a slightly thicker, however lighter weight aluminum component. Let us introduce our Featherweight Series!

Product Details
Crafted from a 1/4" aluminum body, along with 1" thick steel recovery points welded to a 1/4" thick steel inner winch tray, this rear bumper is both lightweight and stout-where-it-counts so that you can hit the hardcore trails with confidence!
This bumper can be run by itself, as an ultra-high clearance bumper, or configured with the lower front skid as shown. The lower front skid fully protects the Rubicon sway bar disconnect motor -- many on the market only appear to but leave the very bottom or back exposed.
Weight: 42 lbs. The majority of this weight is found in the steel winch tray inside the bumper.
FAQ
Which winch fits this bumper, and will the control pack clear the grille?
The winch tray is designed around the original Warn Zeon 10 / 12-S. Newer Warn winches that carry the control pack on the winch (Zeon XD, XP and Platinum) need the control pack relocated off the winch to clear the JL/JT grille. Our recommendation for a full-size winch with no grille trimming: 2024 and newer JL/JT, the Warn Zeon XC series; 2018-2023 JL/JT, the Warn VR EVO 10 or 12 with the control box relocated. Running a Warn M8274? Use the 8274 version of this bumper. Not sure about your winch? Contact us before ordering and we will confirm fitment.
Can I use this Front bumper with my factory front skid plate that came with my steel bumper package?
No. Due to the increased approach angle and clearance we were after, the bottom of this bumper sits much higher than the factory bumper and leaves a significant gap. The factory steel bumper package front skid that bolts to the bumper simply doesn't reach high enough to bolt in place.
Can I flat tow using the recovery points on this bumper?
Yes. The recovery points are machined to match the size of most tow bar pins -- thus eliminating the need for bolt-on adapters anywhere. The recovery points are connected directly to the frame via the steel winch tray and do not rely on the aluminum bumper body whatsoever -- the aluminum bumper body takes no load while towing.
What shackles are compatible and can I use soft soft shackles directly in the recovery point of the bumper?
Every bumper includes laser-cut, 1" thick steel recovery points that bolt directly into the frame and features a .900" smooth chamfered cut eyelet that is compatible with soft shackles and regular 7/8" shackles.
Can I order this bumper Powder Coated?
Yes. However, the lead time can vary greatly depending on the choice of powder coat and other things in the queue. Please call us if you would like to order this bumper powder coated in a color other than our standard texture black. Standard Black Powder Coat typically adds 2 to 3 weeks additional lead time.
