The JK Aluminum Rear Bumper — Featherweight Series delivers full‑width, high‑clearance protection in a lightweight, trail‑ready package. Designed as a slim, wrap‑around rear bumper for the JK Wrangler, it features aluminum construction, improved departure angles, integrated recovery points, and optional provisions for flush‑mount lighting.
Inspired by the Rimrocker Series, the Featherweight Series replaces nearly every component with thicker yet lighter aluminum, maintaining strength while reducing weight. Laser cut, CNC formed, fabricated, and hand‑TIG welded in the USA, this bumper is built from 1/4" and 3/8" aluminum paired with 1" thick steel recovery points for confident performance on hardcore trails.
The machined 1" recovery tabs extend inside the bumper and bolt through the mounting brackets that attach directly to the JK frame. With up to 6 mounting points on the sides and bottom of the frame rails, the bumper resists rotation into the body tub during heavy trail impacts. It also accommodates the factory hitch receiver, preserving your OE tow rating.
Optional light provisions allow seamless integration of Baja Designs S2 flush‑mount reverse lights. An aluminum backing plate behind the logo cutout completes the clean, premium look.
