Bumper add-ons and other aspects to consider:

Unless you decide to stick to a factory style bumper or simple and sleek then there are some aspects to keep in mind. Most aftermarket bumpers for trucks, Jeeps and SUVs will come with cutouts to include pod/fog lights or light bars, d-ring mounts, and some may include a winch mount.

Lights

Some brands include their own lights, but most bumpers will not include the lights and will need to be sourced by a different brand. Deciding on which lights to go with, you have to make sure that you get the right size that fits the cut-out on the bumper and you also want to consider whether you want a dark tint, the option for daytime running amber lights and the quality of light, which will determine longevity and brightness. 

Winch

When it comes to getting the right winch for your bumper you want to make sure that the winch fits the winch mount on the bumper as soon bumpers are made to be equipped with specific winches. Another aspect to consider with choosing your winch is the weight capacity which is dictated by the size and weight of your Jeep, truck or SUV. 

Some well known winch brands are:

Rear Bumper Swing

For off-road and overland enthusiasts some rear bumpers also include a tire carrier mount or a swing out for water jugs, recovery Jack and recovery gear. The benefits of getting a rear bumper with a tire swing is that you have easy access to your spare tire, it can hold a bigger/heavier tire and it gives you a more aggressive look that says “I’m ready for any adventure”.
