Dude that bumper looks nothing like a TJM. Not to mention TJM doesn't make a rear bumper for 2nd gens (or it's not listed on their website, at least)

Got any pics of how the bumper attached to the frame? I didn't have to remove the tail gate springs under neath for my bumper.
Also, will you be able to install a swing arm for your spare later if you want to do it?

Anthony--I will get some mounting pics this weekend. Basically he welded a big tube between the frame at the very end. It pushed the spring up just enough where it catches the underside of the body. It worked, but you really had to force it, and it made a bang noise.

There is a company downunder that makes them. If anybody else wants to look at them (and some other way cool stuff) the company's name is TJM it should come up no probs. look for a .au in the web address. cheers Aviator

I think we all know www.tjmbullbars.com, which has no rear bumpers that I have noticed. Do you have a different address with a bigger product line (like maybe not available in the US)? I'd dig looking at the stuff if you did.

hey Marc,
what would happen if you get rear ended. I think it would bend down or break where it join the frame.

If I get rear ended it doesn't matter what kind of bumper I have. It is really solid all the way around, so we will just hope other people are safe drivers.
