I run no rear bumper and no carrier. Haven't hit yet. Keep my fingers crossed.

It's possible but I haven't ever seen anyone hit it after dropping off a rock.

Seelling the jcr? Reason why?

Also curious why your selling the JCR? I don't run the EVO tire carrier, but I do run the EVO rear fascia and D ring mounts. I have to admit I worry about damaging the exposed corners sometimes as well, but have not hit them on anything so far.

The stopper mechanism that stop the tire carrier from opening too much never worked and with a 37" tire/bead lock I felt like it rattled too much and tilted down a little. Strong product with good welds. Just wanted something a little different
In all the years that I've been running without a rear bumper, I've yet to hit my rear corners. Of course, I am just a mall crawler.

I did have this happen on mine, but it was from backing into a tree
Geeze, how fast were you going? I'm not sure a rear bumper would have helped all that much
Surprisingly not fast at all, just backing up. Night run, tried a trail that didn't pan out and we needed to turn around and head back. I found my spot, backed in just fine... then casually backed in a little further to let someone else go by first, not realizing how close I was to the tree.
Felt/heard a "crunch" thinking I'd just smashed my taillight; was pretty dumbfounded to find I'd smashed the whole corner.

I have yet to hit mine on anything. You still have the gram rails and crossmember back there witch should help keep it from hitting things for the most part

The metal is pop can thin, nothing an EVO corner won't cover up

EVO fascia bumper
Hey everyone. I’ve done a bit of research but I’m not able to find much reviews on the actual performance off-road of the EVO fascia bumper. i love the look and actually have one at my house, I'm just curious if the rear corners ever come in contact with rocks or falls back into anything while off roading, dropping off ledges..i don't have as much rock as you guys do where you wheel. but more woods so trees and stumps etc. I'm running 35's so i know that would make a difference compared to 37's or 40's. thanks for your input!
Looking for peoples experiences off roading with it or if anyone has encountered damage and how. Thanks.

Have the Evo Fascia and am on 35s; no issues thus far. Spent a measly 6 days Trail riding over the summer on the Midwest. Nothing terribly hardcore but not just mall crawling either.

Moved your thread here. I think you'll find that no one has any issues with corner damage.
