Constructed from 3\/16-inch steel plate and finished in a two-stage light texture black powder coat, it replaces the factory rear bumper with a compact, tight-fitting unit that adds recovery points, cube LED light mounts, and OE hitch compatibility without requiring custom fabrication or drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh Clearance Without Bulk\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Orion's high-clearance profile improves departure angles on the trail, reducing the risk of the bumper catching on rocks, ledges, or steep exit ramps that would hang up a factory unit. The compact design keeps the bumper tucked close to the body rather than extending rearward, which matters when backing into tight campsites or navigating switchbacks where overhang becomes a liability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRecovery-Ready from the Start\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated shackle recovery mounts are built into the bumper structure, so a recovery point is available without bolting on a separate receiver hitch adapter or relying on factory tow hooks that may not be rated for recovery loads. The bumper also accommodates the OE hitch receiver, preserving towing and accessory-mounting capability buyers already rely on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExpandable with an Optional Tire Carrier\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Orion bumper is compatible with two tire carrier accessories sold separately: the bumper-mount carrier (part 5298) and the tub-mount carrier (JL-5290). Buying the bumper first and adding a carrier later is a straightforward upgrade path, since the mounting provisions are already in place. Two cube LED light positions are also integrated into the bumper for auxiliary lighting without a separate light bar bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3\/16-inch steel plate construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e full-steel build rated for trail and recovery use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-clearance design:\u003c\/strong\u003e improved departure angles compared to the factory bumper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated shackle recovery mounts:\u003c\/strong\u003e built-in recovery points, no add-on hardware required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOE hitch compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e retains the factory hitch receiver opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCube LED light fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e provisions for two cube LED lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-stage powder coat finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e light texture black, covered by a 3-year finish warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt-on installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e uses existing factory mounting locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eJL-2966\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3\/16-inch steel plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTwo-stage light texture black powder coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLight Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2 cube LED positions\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecovery Mounts\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIntegrated shackle mounts\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHitch Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAccommodates OE hitch\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBolt-on\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e80.48 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3-year finish \/ limited lifetime structural\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatible Tire Carrier\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5298 (bumper mount) or JL-5290 (tub mount), sold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Body Armor 4x4 Orion Rear Bumper suits 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL owners who wheel on rocky or technical terrain and want a steel rear bumper with built-in recovery points, improved departure clearance, and provisions for cube LED lights and an optional tire carrier, all while retaining the factory hitch receiver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis bumper does not fit Jeep Wrangler JK, JKU, or any non-JL generation, nor does it fit Jeep Gladiator.
