The RH4x4 Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier is one of Rock Hard 4x4's favorite products. Not only is it the only rear bumper with integrated tire carrier made out of 3/16" x 2" x 4" thick plate steel, it's also the easiest to use. Rock Hard 4x4 have seen people struggle to open or close their tire carrier cage and thought, "that'll never be me". That never will be you with Rock Hard 4x4's proprietary dual-stage latching mechanism and "pre-load" design to prevent vibration and wobbling.
Rock Hard 4x4's Rear Bumpers are full width to protect your vulnerable corner panels and tail gates. With end plates designed to provide maximum departure angle and clearance, Rock Hard 4x4's design prevents you from getting "hung up" on tough trails and sharp, off camber turns. Plus, with oversized tires, rubbing and tire gouging is never a concern. The bottom plate of Rock Hard 4x4's bumper hugs the rear cross member behind your Jeep for more ground clearance than even some competition bumper designs.
Strength and Function
Your rear bumper has the potential to take more abuse than any other body armor on your Jeep. Whether its on road traffic collisions or off road rock damage, you need some serious armor to keep you safe. 3/16" thick plate steel is the ultimate armor to protect your vulnerable rear corners, tailgate, and fuel tank. High clearance corners, user friendly "1-finger operation" latch, and a weather resistance finish make this rear bumper combo a no brainer.
The secret to Rock Hard 4x4's tire carrier's success is Rock Hard 4x4's in house designed and constructed hub assembly. Instead of a single bearing system like competing models, Rock Hard 4x4 use a dual bearing and race combo for smooth and consistently reliable operation. See Rock Hard 4x4's components section below for complete details.
All this strength adds up to one of the best spare tire size carrying capacities on the market: a massive 38" tire!

The concept for Nebraska-based Rockhard 4x4 was started in the 1980s by Lewish Barth and his son, James. The two of them had been building off-road cages and bumpers for more than 20 years. By the 1990s, the duo was building so many cages for friends that transporting them became quite difficult. Welding the cage in was not something that everyone could do, and that’s when the bolt-in design was born. It was at that time that Rockhard 4x4 became home of the “do it yourself” cage installation. The brand has since evolved from DIY cage installation to a full-service manufacturing plant.
Rockhard 4x4 employs state-of-the-art CNC machining centers and combines that with laser cut precision and extraordinary craftsmanship. With this approach, Rockhard is able to take the bolt-in design of bumpers, cages, sliders, and skid plates to the next level. The company’s patented locking collar design sets itself apart in the aftermarket industry with its superior quality and proven strength. The locking collar connection is irrefutably strong and arguably stronger than other weld-in cages. While many competitors have tried to duplicate its design, none have come even close to the quality and workmanship offered by Rockhard 4x4.
Rockhard 4x4 is known for producing exterior products that make off-roading in Jeeps a lot safer, smoother, and more comfortable. Its products are easy to install, provide paramount protection, exude aggressive styling, and won’t break the bank.
Rockhard 4x4 proudly manufactures all of its parts and systems in its 30,000 square-foot production facility in Nebraska. There is a certain level of quality and control you can only maintain when building products in the U.S. with a family running the show, and Rockhard proves just that. The experts at Rockhard 4x4 are off-road enthusiasts and wheelers themselves, so they know just how to manufacture armor that will instill confidence in the customer and provide strength-proven protection on America’s most demanding trails.
