I need some rear bumper protection

[BenSD]

I need to order something for the rear end of my truck before that nice white bumper gets some damage. Given that I already have the Jaos Center Protector R up front with the Jaos H4 lights, what guards out there do you think would match the overall look that I have going? Price really isn't much of an issue...... I just want something solid, well built, and won't take away from the looks of the truck.

Bumper protection

Hey there, as I am looking for the same thing here a couple of ideas. The "Rhino" receiver hitch step in chrome might match what you are looking for. Mantik makes a "tube" that looks good called a "nudge bar" any way just a couple of ideas. good luck, CSM-H

Since you have the Jaos front, I think that the Jaos rear looks badass. Unfortunately, I've seen some of the Jaos on the rears banged up and it looks pretty awful.

I'd stick with the Go Rhino. cheap in price and effective.

ICI Rear Hitch Step

I also have the JAOS center protector (with Lightforce 170 lights - hoo rah!).

I have the ICI SS rear hitch step. Like the Rhino hitch but a bit longer and with slightly nicer finish IMO.

Both the ICI and Rhino hitch do stick out a bit but it does help my 5'7" frame reach the roof rack!

Easy to remove when I have to tow my RV.

Not that many options out there yet for the 4th generation.

T&H makes this rear protector. I know a couple members here have it on their rigs.

I have a Go Rhino chrome on the back of
my 04'SE.

It is strudy enough for the parking lot
bangs, but no for serious crash protection.

Cheap insurance for the plastic(sic)
bumper.

what did you decide on?

i am also looking for rear protection. i was just thinking of adding a tow package that sticks out a little more than my bumper.

i just dont want to get hit when i have my truck parallel parked.

I ordered the ICI hitch step. I should likely have it by this weekend or early next week. I was motivated to order it the other day after seeing an accident on the freeway. A small car rear ended a Jeep GC with a bike rack mounted on the back. The car was totaled, but I didn't see any noticable damage on the Jeep. At first I thought the two cars just broke down (a natural assumption given the vehicles invovled.......), but it wasn't until I was passing the two cars that I saw the massive front end damage to the car.

That plus I had to do some parallel parking the other day, and when I returned to my car, the car behind me was way too close. I looked close to make sure there was no damage, but it was too close for comfort.

i bought the Go rhino hitch step (Stainless steel) from a local shop. I didn't want to wait for delivery so i paid a little more. All in all I am very happy with the purchase.

Would you mind posting some pics? I'm thinking of going with the Rhino step as well.

Thanks, I really like how that looks. I think I'll pick one up.
