DV8 Offroad FS-7 Series Rear Bumper for Jeep Gladiator JT

The DV8 Offroad FS-7 Series Rear Bumper is a bolt-on steel rear bumper for the 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT (all trims) that raises departure-angle clearance while retaining the factory hitch, trailer harness connector, license plate lights, and sensor provisions. Built from 3.5mm and 5mm steel plate with a micro-texture black powder coat finish, the FS-7 installs without cutting or drilling on every Gladiator JT trim from 2020 through 2026.

High Clearance Without Sacrificing Factory Function

The FS-7 Series bumper is shaped from 3.5mm and 5mm steel plate to pull the rear corners up and inward, improving the Gladiator's departure angle on steep trail exits. Factory tow hitch, trailer plug, OEM license plate lights, and sensor cutouts are all retained, so the same bumper handles towing and trail use without swapping hardware. For Gladiator trims that did not come with factory sensors, plugs are included to keep the openings clean.

Integrated Step and Rear Lighting Mounts

A functional step built into the bumper structure makes it easier to reach gear in the Gladiator's truck bed without a separate step or tailgate climb. Two mounts for 3-inch light pods sit behind the paintable aluminum accent panels at each end of the bumper, positioning auxiliary lights low and wide at the rear for trail visibility in reverse or in camp. Welded zip-tie tabs inside the bumper cavity route wiring cleanly from the light mounts to the vehicle harness.

Bolt-On Fit, Durable Finish, Recovery-Ready Ends

The FS-7 installs on factory mounting points with no drilling, cutting, or frame modification. Installation requires two people to safely handle the bumper during removal and fitting, with an estimated 3.5 hours for the job. D-ring mounts sized for ¾-inch shackle pins are built into the bumper ends for recovery anchor points. The micro-texture black powder coat resists rust, scratches, and UV exposure; the aluminum accent panels are paintable for owners who want a body-color or contrasting finish.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The FS-7 Series Rear Bumper suits 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT owners across all trim levels who want a high-clearance steel rear bumper that keeps towing capability, factory lighting, and sensor provisions intact while adding recovery anchor points and auxiliary light mounts for overlanding and off-road use.

This bumper is designed specifically for the Jeep Gladiator JT (2020–2026) and does not fit any other vehicle. Auxiliary light pods are not included; the bumper provides the mounts only.
