JL Rear Bumper - Rimrocker Series
The Rimrocker Series Jeep JL Wrangler Rear Bumper design was inspired by our move to the Colorado/Utah border, with adventure calling more than ever. The name "Rimrocker" comes from the Rimrocker Trail -- an Interstate overland trail that connects the rock crawling of Moab, Utah to Montrose, Colorado. We've built the Rimrocker series to meet the challenges of the hardcore crawling on the trail, and any obstacles you may meet along the way.
Product Details
Slim Fitting, Full Width, High Clearance, Wrap-Around JL Rear Bumper crafted from a combination of 3/16", 1/4", 3/8", and 1" thick steel. This JL rear bumper is both lightweight and stout-where-it-counts so that you can hit the hardcore trails with confidence!
The machined 1" thick recovery tabs extend inside the bumper; they are welded directly to the mounting brackets that attach them to the frame of the Jeep. Additional reinforcements can be found gusseting the inside of this bumper from the wingtip to the frame mounts.
Features
- Eight mounting points on the sides and bottom of the frame rails, which prevents unwanted rotation of the bumper into the body tub if you take a real hit on the trail
- This bumper accommodates the factory hitch receiver, so you maintain your OE rating while towing
- Improved departure angles
- Built-in recovery points
- An aluminum backing plate that locates behind our logo cutout (shown here with orange vinyl on it in some demo photos.)
- Optional light provisions, designed for a Baja Designs S2 Flush Mount Lights
-
Heavy-duty steel construction
Weight: 61 lbs
The bumper can accommodate up to a 38" tailgate-mounted spare tire without raising the spare tire mount. The spare tire recess also doubles as a step at the rear of the Jeep -- with dimple died holes to give your boots some grip!
We highly recommend relocating the license plate from the bumper -- if you're out there on the trail, it's bound to be pulled off by rocks. For this modification check out our License Plate Relocation Brackets.

I really like how stout this bumper is, and the finish is excellent. I added some adhesive zip tie mount while it was still on the bench, which made securing the factory parking assist sensor wiring easier. Great product.

Received both bumpers in a timely manner, excellent quality

Awesome high clearance and heavy duty bumper! Finally ditched my stock one and ready to beat this one up on the trails. It is very well made and looks to be very strong. Looks pretty rad too! The first of many Next Venture parts I’ll be adding to my JL :)
Why next venture?
parts inspired by the trail
Our team got into the game after rock crawling, wrenching, fabricating and being inspired to design and build parts for what we love to do: hit the trail.
what our customers are saying
★★★★★They invited me and my whole crew in for a tour of the facility on our way to Moab. These guys not only produce amazing armor for your Jeep, they are really good people. So, I’ve been running their rear diff skid for 9 months and it has easily held up to everything I’ve thrown at it.

★★★★★After this go around with Moab and Holy cross, the diff skids did their job and protected my Jeep. My rear aluminum bumper performed phenomenally on the trail!

★★★★★Can’t say enough about Dan and his ultra skilled team! Dan was able to get us in for a skidplate with UHMW & sliders for our JKUR. The fit, finish and quality are just out of this world! Can you say “stacked dimes”? Absolutely gorgeous welds…
Lance Wende
Montrose, CO
★★★★★2 years later I'm writing this review. I've beaten the crap out of this thing hitting rocks, winching, draging it down obstacles, and now exposed to the Florida elements. The bumper looks like it did the day they sent it. You will not find a better company to work with that cares about their clients and their products!

★★★★★My rear Next Venture diff skid takes a beating! Best rear diff skid available. Well done!
Lee Bower
★★★★★Without a doubt, Next Venture Motorsports is my first stop for epic Jeep parts. Their JL aluminum front and rear featherweight bumpers are solidly built, easy enough to install, and crafted to perfection. I can't wait for more products for my 2 door JL!
Michael Collette
Kimberly, WI
★★★★★I like it because it lets you use factory fog lights if you want. They also have a featherweight aluminum option that doesn't have holes for fogs and is essentially a stubby bumper. I am very pleased with all of their stuff. [JL/JT Adventure Series Bumper]
