Purchased with bumper
I bought the the tire carrier & the bumper and this combination is NO joke. Heavy duty and I'm hoping that for the long-term they're worth the $1.300 paid in total for both. I'm a little concerned with a part on the tire carrier, that when closing/closed it rubs the paint and presses against the tailgate when latched. The jeep is a frame off restoration with new heavy duty bushing which may cause the bumper to ride closer to the jeep than it otherwise might so I can't blame this all on the tire carrier.

deceptive, misleading
This is ONLY a tire carrier, the pictures and add are very deceptive. if your looking for a bumper this isn't it, that's an additional $600. and then some assembly required to bolt them together.

Don’t buy, anything this expensive should install easy
Not good fit, way too heavy, not a good value , you will spend days fabricating because the base was not thought out right, tj has welded base, rugged ridge ideas don’t work, base is against gas tank , no room for their ideas, this was a headache and I want to send it back, but it was already awkward and much heavier than products I wish I had bought, stay clear of this, too much trouble for this most expensive product

Misleading writing
This entire ad is misleading. From the photos showing both the bumper and the tire holder to the way it is written. As far as the piece itself..... It looks and feels very beefy. Its a shame.
