3rd Gen After Market Rear Bumpers Under $1000?

I just busted up my stock rear bumper on my 2016 off-road and need a new bumper. Was thinking about going after market but I'm on a budget. Looking for something light ish, compatible with all sensors, durable, and under $1000 Can I please get some educated suggestions on what to go with and why?

 

Get yourself rear ended... and it'll be WAY cheaper to purchase/wait/install a "more effective steel bumper" vs the OEM plastic LEGO bumper pieces.

 

IME/IMO

 

Here’s one without holes

You’ll need the factory tow hitch

 

Any opinion on this Body Armor TC2962 Ds I found on Amazon for $472?

 

I guess no one has any other suggestions? There has to be more options.

 

Here’s some, you’ll have to sort through it, all for 3rd Gen.

If you search TW, there’s tons of threads on rear bumpers.

My advice is get one online that’s in stock and free shipping.

 

I just ordered an RCI steel rear bumper.

Ordered it through Truck Brigade, for no tax and free shipping.

One of the best, if not the best OEM style rear steel bumpers. Only negative is you'll lose BSM.

How about pick n pull off a salvage vehicle?

 

I'm not apposed to anything. Used or salvage.

 

Lotta trucks get in head on collisions and the back ends up salvage.

Better yet, all those aftermarket rear bumpers mean there's an OEM bumper unused. PM a few locals who have after market bumpers.

$775 for a bumper (!) Seems like robbery. It's only purpose is to absorb bumps hahhaa.

Good luck dude.

 

That RCI steel rear bumper looks badass! Great lines! So If I were to go that route my factory tow hitch would come off with the factory bumper correct? That's probably a stupid question but I haven't really looked at the old bumper in its entirety. It's a little more than I want to spend as well but man it may be worth rolling around with the smashed up bumper to save up a few extra bucks.

 

What's BSM mean? Back up Sensors?

 

Blind spot monitor.

 

Shit I like that sensor

 

Yeah, the bumper is separate from the trailer hitch. Both get removed and the new RCI bumper has a built in hidden receiver.

It sucks to lose the BSM, but honestly, it errors so often and is just inconsistent, I don't think I'll miss it. You still keep the back up proximity sensors. No after market bumpers maintain BSM.

Good luck!

 

That blows but I guess I really don't pay attention to it that much anyways. been driving for 25 years with out BSM with out any issues before this truck so screw it. LOL.

 

There’s still two big side mirrors if you’re old school.

 

Lol!!!

 

This bumper is easier to install or remove than the stock one that weighs 20 pounds, yes folks the factory bumper is there for no reason other than cosmetics. Body Armor Off Road bumpers are very strong and just over $500 on Ebay.
