Smittybilt 76896-01 XRC Atlas Rear Bumper with Hitch

I used it for my Jeep 2014 wrangler. I thought it was both pieces. I would like to order the tire carrier now and was wondering if the seller would sell it for the price of the complete order price. I was going to return it because all the pictures showed every thing. then I saw the small print and was saddened. please email me [email protected]. other then that the bumper is perfect and looks great.

The bumper not come with superior parts wheels and jerrycan carrier as expected on the pictures.

The descriptions of the installation are misleading. It says that the bumper can be installed with common tools however, there’s no way to mount the tire without the lug screws being pressed with a machine press. Machine presses are not common every day tools if you don’t use the machine press and you hammer the lug studs in they will strip. Also, the lug studs are too short. Obviously if you’re getting a heavy duty bumper, it’s because you have bigger Tires than stock the lug studs provided should be longer to accommodate bigger tires. This caused a huge delay in the installation and a lot of aggravation.

Great price, very strong built easy to install, remember you have to buy the upper unit which swings out with spare tire and gas can storage. They are sold separately..

The instructions I received with the bumper must have been for an earlier version as it talked about parts I thought I was missing. Turns out those brackets are now welded to the bumper. Talked about drilling out the holes in jeep rear frame crossmember, but bolts already fit through frame holes, etc??????? Very heavy so best to have help or a good floor jack. Should be a good unit. Also ordered the tire carrier but received no hardware with it so waiting for that to come.

I ordered this bumper three weeks ago from a picture and description that included the rear bumper with hitch and tire gate aware that it would take 3 or so weeks for delivery. I checked eagerly everyday to see the status and the day it shipped the picture and description changed to only the bumper and hitch. When it arrived, only the bumper, package completely destroyed with no parts but the bumper and instructions I attempted to contact amazon but there is no way to find an actual human only a return item page with intructions on how to return and print a label. I contacted Smittybilt and they said it will be a two part kit, i only got part one, the bumper and the gate will be available later on, backordered. So now what? Keep the bumper, which is set up to receive the gate and buy it seperate, probably cost more? Try to package this monster up and return it? Feel free to contact me Amazon since I cannot find a way to talk to you!

Received bumper but didn’t get all of the hardware needed to put the bumper on.

I like the look and functionality. Really don’t like how heavy it is, nor the fact the installation instructions were practically useless. This bumper isn’t easy to put on but once it is on it looks good. Pain in the neck to adjust. If I had it to do all over I would have got a different bumper.
