W.T.B. OEM REAR BUMPER

[sweetnlow]

Anyone out there have an oem rear bumper they want to get rid of? Needs to have trailering pkg. (I think trailer pkg. has a cutout for the hitch)

I used a aftermarket Curt hitch ,it works well and not to bad for clearance(I have steps they limit my wheeling more then the hitch.)
I put a skidplate hitch cover on it(rammer) I also mounted the 7 prong plug upwards so it doesnt get damaged.

It tows a 4,000 lb camper (loaded with H2O)great
I used a 2 inch drop receiver
You would need a 4 inch or so drop for factory hitch.

If you dont have the factory tow package you only have 4 wires tucked above rear bumper ,you would need to add a brake wire from your brake controller ,a positive wire direct from battary and a reverse wire for a 7 prong plug.(Im not sure why you need a reverse wire? maybee some trailers have reverse lights ?)

Just to clarify my thread, I need an OEM bumper to replace the damaged one on my H3. It must have the cutout for the factory tow pkg.

Thanks

Hey man, I have one available with a very small dent in one corner, I can send you pictures if you want... where are you located?

I'm in El Centro, CA but I could drive half way depending where you are.

Thanks!

I'm afraid I am all the way up in Michigan. You may want to drive half way but I don't think it would be too cost effective! lol.

Thanks for the response, but I'm hoping to get one a little closer to home since shipping will be as much as the bumper from CA.
