Model #RH-6101


Shopper Award

Rock Hard 4x4 is very proud to offer the strongest and most durable Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier that comes fully loaded, standard.

The RH4x4 Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier is one of our 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. We've seen people struggle to open or close their tire carrier cage and thought, "that'll never be me". That never will be you with our proprietary dual-stage latching mechanism and "pre-load" design to prevent vibration and wobbling.

Our 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, our 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.

Features:

  • Rattle Free Operation
  • Dual Stage Latch
  • Integrated 2" Receiver
  • Integrated Hi-Lift Jack Mount
  • Black Powder Coat Finish
  • 100% Made in USA
  • Lifetime Warranty
Strength and Function
Your rear bumper has the potential to take more abuse than any other body armor on your Ford. Whether its on road traffic collisions or off road rock damage, you need some serious armor to keep you safe. 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 our tire carrier's success is our in house designed and constructed hub assembly. Instead of a single bearing system like competing models, we use a dual bearing and race combo for smooth and consistently reliable operation. See our 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 37" tire!

Ease of Installation
It does not take a PhD to install the best rear bumper and tire carrier on the market. No welding is required and the truly bolt on design makes your garage your own off road shop.

Components
RH4x4 Rear Bumpers and Tire Carriers are very recognizable for two major reasons: owners bragging about how durable it is and it's clean, functional design. What makes up a RH4x4 Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier is what makes it so strong.

  • Newest design allows you to move your spare tire up and down or in and out for best fitment and visibility.
  • Integrated 2" receiver hitch included in every rear bumper.
  • Safety pin to prevent tire carrier closure when you are stopped on an angle and accessing rear compartment.
  • Integrated welded on CB antenna mounts standard on every tire carrier.
  • Integrated Hi-Lift jack mount standard on every tire carrier.
  • Zerk style grease fitting to service hub assembly.
  • Welded on heavy duty recovery shackle tabs. Our tabs are welded onto the face, travel through the bumper, and are again welded onto the backside of the bumper's skin. This is standard Rock Hard 4x4 ingenuity and simply not offered by other manufacturers.
What comes in every kit:
  • Rear Bumper
  • Tire Carrier with integrated hi-lift jack mount and CB tabs
  • Hardware
  • Installation Instructions
Three Reasons Why:
  • 3/16 x 2" x 4" thick plate steel construction
  • Integrated tire carrier
  • Unmatched quality and fitment
FAQ:

What size spare tire can I run?
Factory Jeep Wrangler up to 37" spare tire.

Is any maintenance required?
Period greasing of hub assembly is suggested. Simply add grease to the included zerk fitting in the hub assembly after water cross, rain storm, etc.

Is any welding required?

Do I need to add a CB antenna or Hi-Lift jack mount?
No. Every tire carrier ships with a CB and Hi-Lift jack mount standard.

What finishes are available?
Rock Hard 4x4 Rear Bumpers and Tire Carriers ship powder coated black with a semi-smooth, semi-gloss finish. Raw, paintable finish available upon request.

Where is this bumper made?
This product, like all RH4x4 parts, was designed, developed, tested, manufactured, and if applicable, powder coated, and shipped in the USA. And we don't mean the 75% legal standard to be able to say Made in USA. We are 100% Made in the United States of America!

What is Rockhard 4x4?

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.

Why Choose Rockhard 4x4?

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.

Quality Made in the USA

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.
