Jeep Rear Bumpers


Bumpers are an important piece of your Jeep…both front and rear bumpers.  Without a rear bumper, your Jeep would not look right at all.  You also would not have a hitch or tire carrier or any of the protection that a bumper offers your vehicle and you from any impact that might occur. 

So, how do you find the right Jeep rear bumper that is a perfect fit for both you and your Jeep?  Well, you could spend hours going from place to place looking and comparing features, manufacturers and prices.  But there is another option that I would recommend.  Simply go to 4WD.com.  They have all the bumpers by all the manufacturers and they offer a 90 day price match guarantee along with many other discounts, specials and deals. 
Take a look at a few of the rear bumper options they have, but keep in mind that this is just an infinitesimal sampling of what they have on their site. 

Jeep Crawler Rear Bumper with D Rings

Pro Comp is a respected manufacturer of Jeep parts and products.  This is one of theirs.  This one works on the 1987 – 2006 Wrangler, Rubicon and Unlimited but it does require some drilling when used on the 1997 – 2000 Jeep TJ.  Made from ¼’’ plate steel it has a gloss black powder coat finish and is designed for high departure and approach angles.  It does come with D rings and a 2’’ receiver hitch.

SRC Classic Rock Crawler Rear Bumper with 2’’ Receiver and D Rings

This is another in the line of Smittybilt products.  It is for the 1987 – 2006 Wrangler, Rubicon and Unlimited and requires no modifications or drilling.  It is manufactured from 3/16’’ cold rolled steel plate and then given a 2 stage matte black powder coat finish.  It bolts directly on to your vehicle and has a 5 year limited warranty. 

SRC Rear Bumper with Receiver Hitch

Another Smittybilt product, this one is for the 1987 – 2006 Wrangler, Rubicon and Unlimited.  It bolts directly to your vehicle for an easy installation with no modifications or drilling necessary.  It has a thick zinc treated undercoating and a 2 stage textured black powder coat finish.  This bumper has been expertly welded and has a 2’’ receiver.
As I stated above, these are just a few.  Head on over to 4WD.com and find out what else they have that you just can’t live without.

XJ Cherokee 1984 – 2001 Doors


Doors are an important part of your Jeep.  There are so many types of doors for Jeeps too.  Sometimes it can almost seem mind boggling when you realize just how many different types of doors there really are.  Today we will be discussing two different types of doors for your 1984 – 2001 XJ Cherokee.  These particular doors are made by Warrior and Tomken Machine.  If you have never heard of these manufacturers then you need to look them up.  They are both well-known and respected in the Jeep world.

Adventure Tubular Doors with Paddle Style Handles in Black Powder Coat Finish

These doors are made by Warrior.  They come with the hinges and you can choose from a paddle handle, a deluxe version or a standard pin latch for latching and securing.  The finish is durable and long lasting black powder coating.  These doors are heavy duty.  They arrive at your door already assembled and ready for you to use right away.  These doors add protection for when you are off road.

Adventure Tubular Doors with Paddle Style Handles in Black Powder Coat Finish

Made by Warrior, these are the rear doors that correspond with the front doors just described.  They are for 4 door models of the 1984 – 1996 XJ Cherokee and are gloss black.  They have the paddle style handles and are sold as a pair. 

Front Tube Doors in Black Powder Coat Finish

These front tube doors are manufactured by a company called Tomken Machine.  They are made for the 1984 – 2001 XJ Cherokee and are sold as a pair.  Again, these are just the front doors.  They are constructed of heavy duty tubular steel and have a durable black powder coat finish.

Rear Tube Doors in Black Powder Coat Finish

These are the rear doors made by Tomken Machine that match the front doors I just told you about.  They are tubular half doors with a heavy duty black powder coat finish.  This type of tubular doors offers you off road protection while still allowing you to have the feeling of being door less.

Jeep CJ 1976 Accessories


Jeep CJ 1976 – 1986 Doors

If you have a Jeep that is as old as I am…and chances are that you do since here you are reading this, then it might be a bit more difficult to get parts for it than it would be a newer version. Not that having an older Jeep is a bad thing, parts are just scarcer. Actually I wish they still made vehicle with the muscle that even older Jeeps had. Nowadays they are too pretty and girly for my taste. Anyway, I digress.

Older model Jeep doors and door accessories do not have to be difficult to find if you know where to look. That is the purpose of this article. I will tell you about a few doors and then where to find them.

Off we go.

Supertop Two Piece Doors for Factory Tops, Supertops and Sunrider Tops in Black Denim

Bestop is one of the most well-known makers of Jeep parts and accessories. They are in fact the makers of every single door listed here today. That being said, this particular door is sold as a pair and are the front doors for the 1976 – 1986 CJ7. They are black denim in color and feature slide style door latches. They do include the strikers too. The pair comes with both passenger and driver side upper and lower and have the rotary or paddler handle kits.
