Curry bumper suitable for heavy bike rack/bikes?
 

Hi there,
I've been shopping around for a good bumper w/ receiver hitch and have
come up empty handed. However, I live near Curry, and they have this
bumper:

In the notes, it says "The bumper is not rated for towing but the tow
hook may be used for recovery". I have a pretty heavy dual bike rack
and some pretty heavy beach cruisers. Would this bumper hold up?

Thanks :)

Have you seen the Olympic Rock Bumpers? I have one (rated for 2000 lbs I
believe the manufacturer's site says) and love it. They have 50 and 57 inch
models for different models of Jeep:

Hi Greg,
Your link doesn't mention whether it's a two inch receiver, which
is required for most if not all the add-ons I'm aware of. I like the
looks of Warn.

Had one on my 98TJ and towed a sandrail on a trailer with all
supporting crap....gas...firewood..ect. Never had a problem. They do
not come with a place to hook up safety chains though! You'll have no
problems with a bike rack and your beach cruisers.
