Anyone got the Olympic Smuggler rear Bumper?

I really like the looks of that bumper. The tire is a bit high, but a winch mount for the rear rocks. as a bonus it looks like the high lift jack point also serves as a chain tie down point if you were to trailer the Jeep.

I think they fixed that with the tire mount swinging down to the ground...

Certainly not cheap, but I like some of those design elements a lot.

With some u-bolts and a hacksaw, you could probably fab up a system to mount a hi-lift pretty quickly. All you'd be looking for then is a spot to mount a jerry can.

I like the looks of the bumper. That tire carrier though looks like bad R&D. In this pic, the carrier is closed and look at the circled angle.



If that tire carrier ain't contacting the bumper, it's damn close....and that's with the carrier closed. If the bumper was available without that carrier, I might be more impressed. Looks like trouble to me.
