if you are going with RR rear tire carrier, take a few words of first hand advice... get someone to weld a secondary stop, that lil B.S. pin they have to keep the tire from swinging all the way open dont always stop, mine swung open and hit the side resulting in a 500 dollar bill at the body shop. i did the secondary stop, that won't happen again. congrats on the new purchase, but i have to say that was a sweet car you got rid of

I don't know about Poison Spyder but the RR bumpers (and I have the RR XHD front) are definitely built to a price point and there are higher quality options. I'm happy with mine but I'm one of those "it's a jeep, who cares about some dings in the powder coat?" people.
Disagree. It's cheap insurance. A high intake and prefilter (if it works) is a must for dry climates where dust can choke off an engine in just a few hours (I've had it happen), and depending on local laws regarding fording water it may be good in wet areas as well.
I agree to lose them, disagree about the "poser" comment. IMO you should wait until you damage the body (if you do) before you install damage covers.
Agreed. This is another "wait until you have damage to repair" parts.

Today went wonderful.....nooo not really.
Got the eclipse avn4430, a hertz sub, jl amp, and a shattered rear windshield!!!! No idea what happened. I was closing the rear glass and about half way down i felt it snag a little and then just shatter. I wasnt pushing down hard at all, barely even with two fingers. The two that are now cut grrrr. Glass went all over my head and chest but it didnt cut me there, just the fingers. Drove straight to the dealer and they are replacing the glass tommorrow. I just hope they dont charge me for it.
