Gladiator rear bumper

Does the EVO bumper have d-rings?

No. It uses the J-hooks that come on the Gladiator from the factory.

So that answers my follow up question about the slots being for the J hooks and not back up lights.

LOL - I'm pretty sure there are provisions for the proximity sensors too.

I still think I like LoD's the best so far:

I hadn’t seen that bumper yet. Looks sharp! I really wanted to high clearance bumper that’s on Eddie’s JT but I’ve given up all hope of it ever getting released to the average Joe.

I would coat myself. I know the old coater they used sucked. Not sure if they still use them or. It but their powder coating is not the greatest.

The older powdered stuff has been peeling since I got it. The new stuff looks much nicer, though the 1/4 pounder I installed a couple weeks ago is already rusting at all the welds.

That’s sweet! I like it. If only I had a gladiator.

I agree. Theirs is the clearest to me so far. I also like how they use shackle mounts instead of the stock tow hooks. I just wish the bed sliders were one piece with the bumper.

Agreed.

Agreed. That part looks like an afterthought.

Got a chance to give the EVO rear bumper a better look last night. As you can see, it’s not only made of aluminum, it’s pulled in tight to the body and it does allow for the recycling of the Rubicon corner guards.

That is pretty clean looking. Along with that gorgeous epoxy floor.

Any idea how much lift is on that one?

Mel is running the new 42" Trail Grapplers on his Gladiator and being that he isn't seeing much rubbing, the coilovers have to be set close to 6" of lift.

Great looking bumper! Like that it still allows the re use of the corner guards.

 

[Sharkey]

I like that bumper too. Since I didn’t get all of the proximity crap, I could probably repurpose the sensors holes for small backup lights.

That’s a sharp looking bumper it was hard to see as they were cruising thru Moab the other day.

Nice looking , clean rear bumper

I really like the looks of the EVO aluminum, but man they reuse the recovery hooks and those I don't like.
