Maximum Protection From Tough Mazda Bumper
Collisions on the road can occur in your least expected moment and if your Mazda is not armed with the right defensive equipments and mechanisms, you might end-up with a wrecked vehicle. Since safety is always the top concern in your daily driving, it is a must to ensure that your vehicle is outfitted with complete auto equipments that will provide it more rigidity and these include the Mazda bumper. This is a critical auto body part that provides a great deal of safety to you and your vehicle. This is a sturdy molded metal sheet that is mounted on both the rear and front end of the vehicle. It is specifically engineered with the inherent capacity of resisting impacts from collisions and prevents its effects from causing massive damage to the frame as well as other fragile auto parts. It contributes to the structural integrity of your vehicle, making it more tough and powerful at all road conditions.
As a structural part of your Mazda, the Mazda bumper is built with superior strength to handle the damaging effects of impacts during vehicular accidents. It provides a shield to your engine assembly and also other front and rear mounted auto parts like the headlight, trunk, grille, cooling system, tail lights, park lights, and other standards features of the vehicle. The absence of the bumper can surely make your vehicle more fragile even to slightest or minor bumps and cause serious damage, leaving you with costly repairs and replacements. So, the bumper is really a vital part of your Mazda as it helps in minimizing damages on your vehicle’s front and rear end. During a collision, the bumper is the first in line of defense that absorbs the impact, allowing its effects to only suffice throughout its entire structure and preventing the effects from being transferred to the vehicle’s frame and other auto parts.
With the demands for a tough protection, the Mazda bumper is constructed out of superior quality materials and meticulous engineering in order to meet every vehicle owner’s need. Built with quality and rigidity, this bumper can endure low-speed collisions that might cause grave damage to your vehicle. It is well crafted to keep you and your passengers in proper composure after a minor bump or hit. As it does the job of protecting your front and rear end section, it is a must to keep it at its tip-top shape so as to maintain its ideal working condition and sustain a smooth operation without interruptions. A rusty or damaged bumper must be replaced at once to avoid possible troubles. If the bolt-on connection of your bumper is already faulty, weak, and dented, it could whirl down and block your wheel path and could cause possible accidents. That is why it is proper to check periodically the bumper’s condition. If signs of wear and tear are evident, replacements should be acquired right away. With the availability of various materials used for bumper, you can freely select the best one that matches your taste and performance needs. Just make sure to install the right bumper designed solely for your Mazda to avoid fitment problems.

Bumper mount tire carrier needed for 33x10.50x15's?
I have 33x10.5x15 Interco Thornbirds that i am installing along with a superlift 4" lift on my 2001 wrangler sport and i was wondering if with the tires being skinnier if i will have to have a bumper mounted tire carrier or if the stock one will handle it? I am concerned about the much heavier weight of the tires and steel rims damaging/ripping off the stock carrier. Also the Cragar rims i am mounting them on are 15x8 with a 4" offset if that makes a diff. And lastly i was wondering what my next purchase should be other than a Hi-lift jack?
Eventually, yes, you'll want to install a bumper-mounted tire carrier and take the weight off the tailgate. Not only does it relieve the tailgate of the added weight, it also gives you a place to mount accessories like a high-lift jack, jerry cans, etc.
In the short term, you can get away with mounting the spare on the tailgate. The most critical thing in doing so is that the tire *must* rest firmly against the rubber "snubbers" - the little rubber bumpers on the tailgate and one below on the body. At the same time, the lugs that hold the spare to the carrier must be tight. If the tire is not firmly against the rubber snubbers, or if it's too tight against them that you cannot properly tighten the lugs, the tire will wobble on the carrier and tear it and your tailgate apart.
Another issue you might have is the larger tire might hang down lower than the bumper. If this is the case, you can order a spare tire relocation bracket (look for Teraflex or Tomken products that do this, about $50). If you have a body lift (1" or more), you will not have this problem with a 33" tire.
One final issue is that the center brake light will have to be raised an inch or so. I used stacks of fender washers and longer bolts on mine. The wiring barely reached, but I didn't have to splice it. I've read that some folks do have to splice in wiring extensions.
I have a 33" Goodyear MTR on my stock carrier, and so far no issues. I inspect my tailgate closely and frequently, and a bumper-mounted spare carrier will be my next investment. The tires are 285/75/R16 (33x11.5) on stock Rubicon rims - 16"x8" with 5" backspacing. I had to put a 1/4" plate between my carrier and spare tire so that the snubbers made firm but not excessive contact with the tire.
As for your next investment, you've put a lot into offense, so build up your defense. If you don't already have a good engine skid, I highly recommend one. Jeep Medic or Skid Row are awesome products, right around $300. I also recommend rocker protection - either body-mounted rocker guards (Poison Spyder or Jeeperman are good), or frame-mounted (Olympic and Jeeperman are good and don't require drilling into your frame).
Hope that's helpful!
