Default Genright

Any experience mounting this with the Genright rear bumper?
I am trying to keep the weight down.

Doesn't look bad in this pic though.

NICE!

I like the primer color on the bumper looks good

I was all set to order the tire carrier and bumper, but after reading this thread, I might just go with the tire carrier. Looks like a good setup.

That's how I did it! Eventually ended up replacing the stock bumper, but appreciated being able to put a couple of months between those purchases!

Has anyone tried a AEV swing with an ARB bumper?

I think I saw someone created a mod to work with mopar rear bumper (I think). If you can find install instruction with the ARB I could probably tell you if it could work. If you know how to weld, my guess is there is always a way. However, from what I've read a lot of the aftermarket bumper mount brackets interfere with the spindle which is where the problem is. I'll see if I can find install instruction and give an opinion...

I mounted one a while back on the Mopar off road bumper. Not very hard to do if you are used to working with metal (cutting and grinding)
