Here are some pictures of my new RockTek rear bumper:

I originally had Justin build me a tube rear bumper to go with the front tube bumper he built me (which can be seen in THIS thread). I wasn't completely satisfied with it so I had him build me another rear bumper similar to his Tacoma bumper, and this is the result. I'm really pleased and it looks much better in person than it does in the pictures. It's really, really cool. The departure angle is superb as well.

Very nice, I like the lines, actually looks like it was made for the FJ style wise.
Thanks for postin..

That is a perfect fit for the FJ. Looks like it could be OEM, but better!

Looks great Jim.

Will the backup sensors work, and also will the factory hitch work with it?

Still undecided on which rear bumper to go with, hence I have not bought one yet.

I had disconnected my backup sensors some time ago so I told Justin not to bother with sensor slots (although he had them in the tube rear bumper he built me that this bumper replaced). There's a removable hitch receiver that came with the bumper but I removed it when I got to Crested Butte after towing a trailer up here. I'll take a couple of pictures of it and post them up later.

I should mention that I'll be parking my FJ next to the Toyota of Dallas (FJ Cruiser Offroad) booth at the Summit so anyone attending can drop by and see the RockTek front and rear bumpers in person.

Nice bumper, should be able to smash through just about anything from the looks of it.... Who's going to be there from TOD?

Jim will correct me if I am wrong, but I think it will be Phil, Jacque and Gerone.

Looks great. Will it work with the OEM hitch?

No reason that it shouldn't that I can think of. I run a drop hitch for the trailer that I tow, so I haven't tried the OEM hitch, even though I have one at home.

What is the contact info or website for RockTek...I cant find anything for him. Seen that some are having hard time getting hold of him and stuff....but like the looks of what you have especially of the Toyota receiver hitch will work with it...or they have one I can use instead of Toyota model that keeps my clearance.
