Rigidco Rear Bumper Pics

I like this one better, and it has the same type of mounting system, just looks beefier, and not so pretty.

I second that.Too bad he's closed down :tear: Hansons were killer too when they were around.

 

[caseylawrence]

hey how much was your bumper the RbA rear bumper thanks

 

[fatwreck]

Well, I stand corrected....

It's cool that they are going to do that. I know a lot of guys have already cut theirs....now there will be a nice bumper solution for them.

 

[cjohnson]

What's the cost? Or did I miss that.

For those of you who like the idea of a hitch, d-ring tabs, and wrap around the rear quarter panel, DETOURSUSA has a new bumper they just released. I don't have one or know the price, but it looks smooth and has everything you need.

Just a thought, if anyone has one of these, what's it like? Good quality?

They're all over out here in farm country.
Try a tractor supply store.

Rigidco has spent alot to time designing this rear bumper. They have done tons of testing. That included towing heavy ass trailers for over 1000 miles. Rigidco also goes to great lengths to have what seems like the best mounting system on the market. The rear subframe mounts just like a ClassIII hitch(4 on either frame rail) and its tied into the bulkhead (the two holes under the latch handle). Some others only use the factory mounts which isn't enough to be pulling on. I'm really interested to see what the tire carrier and cutout version looks like. So far this is the leader of the bumpers i'm looking at.

Looks great! If I didn't already have a Hidden Hitch I would think about picking one up asap!

So it's true then that AJ's is closing? Anyone know if it says anywhere if he's closing for good or why?

Oh, I'd love to see the pics for the bumper with the extensions for if the rear panels were trimmed, too!

AJ is not closing permantly, but he has to think of his family first. You can check out his forum at ajsoffroadarmor.com for explanations.

Those D-rings are everywhere. I get them at a Kabota dealer around here. If you need some, I can get em and ship em to you if need be.

Thanks NHxj, I just finished reading his comments in his forum. Hopefully things will turn out well for him!

I have a friend that I have been harassing about making me some parts. He started the idea, and my mind went wild from there. If he does not get time, I will be E-mailing AJ's. Since his business future is questionable, if he is not interested in sending me some Rock Sliders, the Rididco equipment has become my next choice. I had thought about ordering thier Rock Sliders, but I do like the way that rear bumper looks.

Jason,

I know that he is still banging out sliders, so don't worry about that. The bumpers are really nice though. That pic I posted is actually my Jeep. Here's the front one I got from AJ:

I didn't want to toot my own horn when I said I liked AJ's better, but I do, even though that was a 1 off that AJ made for me.

Later,
