Description
Give your Jeep Wrangler JL or JLU the rear protection it needs without adding unnecessary bulk with the Rebel Off Road Trailhead Series Steel Rear Bumper.
Designed specifically for the 2018+ Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU, the Trailhead Rear Bumper combines a compact, trail-focused profile with factory-friendly functionality including compatibility with the factory tow hitch, factory recovery points, and OEM rear parking sensors.
A bolt-on license plate mount and LED license plate light are included, giving you a complete rear bumper package that's ready for both the trail and the street.
Trailhead Series Rear Protection
The Trailhead Series was developed for Jeep owners who want functional off-road armor with a clean, aggressive design.
The rear bumper follows the same design language as the Trailhead Series Front Bumper, giving JL and JLU builds a cohesive front-to-rear appearance while adding protection around the rear of the vehicle.
Compact High-Clearance Design
Aggressive angles and a low-profile shape keep the Trailhead Rear Bumper tucked close to the Jeep, helping maintain valuable clearance when climbing ledges, dropping off obstacles, or navigating steep terrain.
The compact design provides the protection expected from a steel rear bumper without unnecessarily extending beyond the rear of the vehicle.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
The Trailhead Series Rear Bumper is constructed from high-strength steel for the durability required on trail-driven Jeeps.
Its steel construction provides substantially more protection than the factory bumper while maintaining the clean, purposeful appearance of the Trailhead Series.
Includes License Plate Mount & LED Light
Unlike many aftermarket rear bumpers that require a separate license plate relocation solution, the Trailhead Rear Bumper includes a bolt-on license plate mount.
An integrated LED license plate light provides plate illumination for a clean, finished installation.
Factory Parking Sensor Compatible
Have factory rear parking sensors? The Trailhead Series Rear Bumper is designed to support OEM Jeep rear parking sensors on properly equipped JL and JLU models.
This allows you to upgrade the rear bumper without unnecessarily giving up useful factory technology.
Retains Your Factory Tow Hitch
The Trailhead Series Rear Bumper is compatible with the factory Jeep tow hitch, allowing the factory hitch assembly to remain in place after the bumper upgrade.
That means you can retain the hitch for towing, hitch-mounted accessories, bike racks, and other equipment without building the bumper around a proprietary receiver system.
Retains Factory Recovery Points
The Trailhead Rear Bumper is designed to work with the Jeep's factory recovery points, allowing properly equipped JL/JLU models to retain their original rear recovery provisions.
This factory-friendly design helps keep the Trailhead Series simple, functional, and cost-effective.
Textured Black Powder Coat
A durable textured black powder-coated finish protects the steel construction while giving the bumper a clean appearance that complements factory trim, Trailhead Series armor, and other Rebel Off Road components.
35"–37" Spare Tire Fitment
When running a 35" to 37" spare tire, additional tire clearance is required between the spare and Trailhead Rear Bumper.
Rebel Off Road recommends relocating the spare tire approximately 2" upward for proper clearance.
For these applications, we recommend the TeraFlex Spare Tire Relocation Kit or an equivalent spare tire mounting solution.
Bolt-On Installation
The Trailhead Series Rear Bumper is designed as a bolt-on upgrade for the Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU with no cutting or drilling required for standard installation.
Required bumper mounting hardware and the license plate mounting components are included.

Built for the Trail. Clean Enough for Every Day.
The Rebel Off Road Trailhead Series Rear Bumper gives your Wrangler JL/JLU the protection of a steel rear bumper while retaining the factory features you actually use.
With its compact design, factory hitch and recovery-point compatibility, OEM parking sensor provisions, and included license plate mounting system, it's an excellent rear armor upgrade for daily-driven, overland, and trail-built Wranglers alike.
Dream. Build. Rebel.
