Warn Rock Crawler Bumper with Hitch

[owachi13]

Does anyone currently have one of these bumpers? I am about 90% certain this is the bumper that I want to replace my tubular bumper I currently have. The only thing I am uncertain about is using it to pull a utility trailer. Has anyone ever pulled a trailer with this bumper/hitch? I will probably never have more than 1000 lbs. on my trailer, and the tongue weight will probably never exceed 200 lbs. due to the fact that I keep the trailer pretty well balanced. Warn does not "tow rate" their bumpers, however their customer service told that they do "pull rate" them and it is "pull rated" for well over 10,000 lbs. I just want to make sure this is an adequate bumper for off-road use and light towing. Any input is appreciated!

i looked at them - and for the price just couldn't do it - check out this site - its a mom/pop operation in washington and the design and fab is outstanding!!! and trust me, i wouldn't tell you if i didnt believe it and everything (the receiver and the shackle mounts) are thru welded, tough and the welds are SUPER clean.... check it b/4 you buy - its at http://www.stevesjeepfab.com/products.htm
the price they charge is so below what they should - but you'll like it - i love mine! i dont have the tire carrier but if you have an itch for that order it now (wish i had the $$$ at the time...) - just my $.02

Check this site out, I just installed this one on my rubi and I love it, it only cost $399.00....I found it to be cheaper than alot of the other brands, and the instructions on the web are very clear and easy. I also has a 2 inch hitch that I use to haul everthing with no problem. Let me know and I'll send u pictures of my carrier.
