My xj has the Custom 4x4 rear bumper, with tire carrier. It wobbles A LOT. And I've hit it enough to make it smack the hatch.
I noticed a new noise, and looked below... I found a small crack near one of the bumper bolts right next to the shackle.
It uses the factory 8 bolts, and the first 2 on the hitch on each side. (Total of 4). I am also using a factory hitch.
I called Aj at Aj's offroad, and he is sending me tie in plates that stretch further back. These use 3 bolts on the hitch area.
Is there anything else I can do? I need to stop this chit before it gets worse.
I was thinking about welding tabs to the bottom of the bumper that bolt to the hitch, to make it even more solid.
How do most after market bumpers mount? Thanks.
