Rear Bumper recommendations?

Warn bumper arrived this morning. It's the new model as I couldn't find the old model anywhere. I'll likely get it on this Friday and I'll report back whether it's too long for a normal sas bronco now that they reportedly made it wider to accommodate Raptors. They still market it as a fit for all broncos so if it sticks out past the fenders I'm going to be pretty pissed.

I have to admit I've been keeping my eye on an upgraded rear bumper as well...
But I don't want to use a license plate relocation kit, and I'd want rear lights integrated into the bumper. Haven't seen a whole lot of options that include both of those. Fab Four Vengeance is the only one I have on my list that meets those criteria, and I'm not that unhappy with my plastic one to dump the cash on it right now. There may be others, just haven't found them yet.

That's nuts that it's so expensive just for the bumper... But it's a damn good looking bumper, I will say.

I'm looking for the exact same thing. The lights are optional for me though, moreso a 'nice to have' as I could always mount them myself.

After scraping off my plastic OEM off-roading for the second time, I just put on a Barricade Trail Force rear bumper yesterday. The exact 'trail force' model is apparently discontinued, but they have a couple of others that are similar. They tend to be priced around $300-$600 under the usual suspects as well. Powder coating is clean and decent (but not great) looking. Construction/welds/material and fitment is good however. Not too heavy either.
My original requirement was OEM license plate location, but options are too limited so I went with a "anywhere but spare tire" requirement. Barricade has 2 or 3 options that locate it out to the left of the tail gate, mounted above the bumper. My wife does not like it, but it is common enough...it is a bit exposed however for parking lots, someone will probably snag their shirt on it at some point.
The instructions had the nut's/washers pre threaded on the license plates LED's, but of course I did not verify and got everything on and (last step) went to install LED on lic. plate bracket and of washers/nuts were not on there...so I had cut wire and butt splice, the only real snag.
Will post pic later - my camera phone lens is smashed
FWIW I modified the included spare tire bracket to work in the original location on the RC. Coming up on 2 years now, very happy with it.

That is a hefty price tag. Nice bumper though. Iād prefer not to mess with more lights and I was able to find the Warn for under a grand.

I just noticed you're from Colorado. I have a plastic bumper you can have for free, I'm in Grand Junction, let me know if you want it.

Iām only a couple hours away. If this Warn bumper looks goofy I might take you up on that offer until I find a steel one I like. Much obliged!

I went with a JCR rear bumper with DV8 license plate relocationā¦just because I chose the JRC front bumper and rock rail/steps so shipping the rear bumper was freeā¦I am happy with the choice but there are some pretty decent cheap options out there latelyā¦

OK as promised hereās a quick review of the new model warn rear bumper with some pics. I also managed to replace the tail light reflector and got a new face plate for the hard spare cover (went with a script emblem this time, gloss black horsie for the swing gate inbound, shouldāve swapped that out long ago)
Rig is filthy ā in my defense we are inexplicably having mud season in December. As you can see, the bumper is not too wide. Doesnāt look any wider than pics Iāve seen of the old model really. I like it a lot actually. Checks all my boxes: simple design, thick steel, license plate stays where it belongs, no protruding attachment points, not tubular, no holes for lights. I wish it didnāt have holes for sensors but they all seem to. The lateral most holes are an odd oval shape that the provided grommets donāt cover, which I find annoying. Iām going to source a pair of OEM sensor grommets that are large enough to conver the entire hole.
