Product details

There is a clear difference between bolting on a bumper and cutting the frame.

The MB1260 Tomahawk Frame Chop Rear Bumper is built for JK and JKU owners who are ready to commit to departure angle and rear clearance the right way. This system requires removing a portion of the factory frame and welding in a new mini frame rail that ties the body and frame together. Once installed, the rear of the Jeep sits tighter, cleaner, and far less vulnerable to hang ups.

The Tomahawk design pulls the bumper up and in, creating one of the most aggressive rear departure angles available for the JK platform. When the obstacle gets steep and the ledge drops away behind you, the rear of the Jeep no longer drags where the factory structure once did.

Recessed D ring mounts are integrated into the bumper to keep recovery points strong without leaving hardware exposed. The smooth rear profile allows the Jeep to transition off obstacles instead of catching on protruding mounts.

This is not a cosmetic upgrade. It is a structural modification that changes how the rear of the Jeep performs on the trail.

Frequently asked questions

What is a frame chop rear bumper?
A frame chop rear bumper replaces part of the factory rear frame section with a tighter high-clearance structure. This improves departure angle and reduces the chance of dragging the rear of the Jeep on ledges or steep obstacles.

How much fabrication is required to install the MB1260 Tomahawk rear bumper?
This is a true fabrication part. Installation requires cutting the factory rear frame and welding in the included mini frame rail and body section. The rear storage area of the body will have to be cut as well.

Does this bumper improve departure angle on a Jeep JK?
Yes. The Tomahawk design pulls the rear bumper higher and tighter than the factory setup, which helps the Jeep transition off obstacles without hanging up.

Are the recovery points built into the bumper?
Yes. The bumper includes recessed D-ring mounts that provide strong recovery points while keeping the rear profile smooth and less likely to catch on obstacles.

Can this bumper be returned to stock later?
No. This product requires permanent frame modification, so returning the Jeep to a factory rear bumper setup is not practical after installation.
