You can take it off without removing the hitch or tire. Just open the dam tailgate...

[@RBZ06LT6]

Yo hahaha so true

[@paulncvic]

This is great!! We need to replace a rusted aftermarket rear bumper on my nephew’s Jeep!

[@gunnarbiker]

Serious question. Why do you need to remove the spare? I'm about to put on this same bumper and thought I'd just open the tailgate.

[@eugenemoninski1773]

Just open the tailgate!

[@stephanel7]

That's what I did.. Saved some time.

[@Hay-tn6hz]

Hahaha, oh man, I didn't even think of that. I'm glad I watched this before removing my bumper today.

[@nathanbritton1019]

Thanks, man. That's hilarious. I almost removed the tire. So glad I saw this.

[@joetanner5595]

He makes it look so easy NO PROBLEMS WITH RUSTY BOLTS NO IMPACT WRENCH NEEDED ON THOSE BOLTS!!!!!!!

[@grupohastaelfinluchare9418]

Same here opening the tail gate will clear the bumper

[@felixarmijo9105]

Can I install a 2 inch hitch with out taking off the rear Bumper

[@jeeplord4067]

Do i need a new tire carrier for a bigger tire? I have 30s right now and im buying 35s and im wondering

[@HangulMaster]

Just take off the bolts on the sides and the 1 bolt on each mounting clip and turn the clips 90 degrees, open tailgate, and off

[@CRCpermits]

What if bolts brake off

[@charlessmith5188]

What trailer hitch is that?

[@JKTF476]

Can you take off the bumper without taking off the hitch?

[@stephanel7]

Depends on the hitch! Most cases yes.
