umm...wow. I Dont like it at all. Good fail AEV. The tubes look pretty lame. I agree it should match the front bumper. Thats what everyone was wating for. A matching set. The water tank...dumb. Is the bottom protected by metal or is it exposed plastic to puncture? The rear tire carrier just slips in the hole? Couldnt you just steal it by lifting it out then? ( i could be missing the big picture on that one so sorry if i misjudged that)

The one and only feature i do like is the center step down with grip tape.

Someone needs to start a poll. It would be interesting to see how many people are disappointed with the AEV rear.

Wow. I was hoping this bumper would be the same type of work of art the AEV front is. But it isn't. I thought AEV could do no wrong. First cam bolts, now this! They should have made it look more like the front IMO.

I was waiting to see if I could work a package deal on the AEV front and rear but after seeing this I might just go all Expedition One.

Default AEV Rear JK Bumper - Cost

AEV is nuts if they price this bumper in the $1,700 to $1,900 price range. I thought my guess of $1,200 to $1,300 was pushing it.
