Once Again A Newbie Question

[t2raz]

How is the stability on the rear bumpers? Always wanted to step on it and stand for a while just to see how it will hold. No special reason for doing it right now just wanted to know if I can use it in the future.

Good question ive wondered that as well,looks a bit weak and creaky to be honest, and if it's anything like the front bumper i doubt if it would hold any weight at all. Someone will chirp in and say get an ARB im sure.

 

[Marlon_JB2]

I've done it, but only for short periods of time on the rear. Front bumper is useless for standing on.

I do it all the time offroad, never had a problem.
I did see two people stand on the same side of one and I thought for sure it was going to break off though.

 

[t2raz]

Good to hear. I dont have to stand on the tire again to cleaning the roof.

You could always get one of those brushes with a long stick attached to it.

 

[hyde]

Or you can buy one of those tire steps

Just wait until you try to wash a lifted Liberty. Even pushing 6' 2" I need a step ladder. Get a mop instead of a brush though.

^I would love to get one of those. Meguiars disco'd their brush line.. I bought a few before they disappeared though.

If you weigh alot I would be careful, I only weigh around 160lbs. Ive always stood on the back tires to wash the roof.

Wouldnt putting body weight on the spare buckle the rear door skin?

Probably. It is only rated for 60# (i think) adding another 150+ pounds...not a good idea!!

 

[ms5490renegade]

tha spare brackets are only rated for 75 pounds. i dont trust the bumpers either but im 250 pounds.

Just stand on the tire. Problem solved. More comfortable that way too.

 

[scull20]

Oooo...or you could get someone in a bikini and 8 inch heels to wash the roof for you!

 

[JeepJeepster]

^There we go!

Ive also stood on the spare tire with no problems. I would say it will hold alot but not while driving around while hitting bumps and stuff. I know you can get a bike rack that mounts to the spare tire. Guy over on lost has one and Ive never seen him say its hurt anything.

 

[scull20]

The bike racks are ok...they move around an awful lot though. The Class III hitch ones are better, could also get one of those hitch steps if you have a hitch too.
