The Nighthawk Rear Bumper is the finishing touch to Artec Industries' Nighthawk armor line for the Jeep Wrangler JL, carrying the same hard angular lines as the matching front bumper. It tucks in high and tight against the factory frame so you keep your departure angle and stop dragging the rear end on obstacles. It is CNC laser cut and formed from 3/16" steel and internally gusseted for serious strength.
Key Features
- CNC laser cut and formed from 3/16" steel, internally gusseted for ultimate strength
- High-clearance design hugs the factory frame to preserve departure angle
- 3/4" thick high-strength alloy steel frame brackets that double as shackle mounts
- High-clearance ends help keep the rear from hanging up on rocks
- Compatible with OEM backup sensors, offered with or without sensor holes
- Retains the OEM hitch and ships in bare steel for a custom finish
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-present). Choose the Sensor Holes version if your Jeep has factory backup sensors, or the No Sensor Holes version for a clean face without them. It works with the OEM hitch and installs with no frame modifications, though the weight makes it a two-person job. It ships in bare steel so you can paint or powder coat to match.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which version do I need for backup sensors?
If your JL has factory backup sensors, order the Sensor Holes version. If it does not, the No Sensor Holes version gives you a clean bumper face.
Does it keep my factory hitch and shackle points?
Yes. It is compatible with the OEM hitch, and the 3/4" frame brackets double as shackle mounts for recovery.
Do I have to modify the frame to install it?
No frame modifications are needed. It does bolt up tight and is heavy, so plan on a second set of hands for the install.
Does it come painted?
It ships in bare steel so you can finish it to match your rig.
What completes the Nighthawk look?
Pair it with the Nighthawk front bumper (or the stinger version) and the JL Nighthawk front sway bar skid for a matched armor package.
