I'm eyeballing Body Armor. For rear with swing gate= <$800. Works for me. Have their rock sliders and can't complain. Of course, they haven't seen rocks yet.

Ace for sure! May take a few weeks to get but well worth it. I bought mine from Northridge about a year ago and its heavy duty.

I run this set up. Good bumper that takes a beating and the carrier is good but requires a bit more attention to detail than most. What I mean by that is that it can feel latched, but then when you look at it, there's another 1/4" that needs to be done. If you don't get that 1/4", it WILL open up while driving, it's happened to me before. Lol

Where in the US do you live? If in SoCal, I think I have a solution for you.

Default Or- fab carrier

3.5 years on this jeep and 1 year on my prior jeep
Its been a great carrier no odd noises clunks or any rattles
theres others out there but i wouldnt own any thing other than this one Rock solid construction in my opinion ! Then you can buy any bumper you like. and you can get it with jerry can provisions too

other places carry them i just saw this place 1st with rotopax included
