I am going to purchase the Evo mfg tire carrier. It's huge and awesome. Does anyone know off hand which bumpers will fit underneath it? I was thinking about going with the Poison Spyder Brawler lite on the front and their rear bumper as well. The Evo bumpers aren't too bad. Just a little plain. what do you folks think? Anybody running a similar setup post pics please.

 

i have seen lod bumpers run with it and i'm pretty sure just about anything can be installed as well. me, i just left the rear bumper off.

 

I saw one with a JCR dagger series rear bumper and it looked great IMO. Unlike other bumpers it didn't stick out very far and I thought it was a great combo.

 

WOL your jeep looks great. I would be worried about a small car rear ending me. At least a steal bumper would help prevent too much damage. That tire carrier looks nice on your rig. I cannot wait to get it in.

 

The stock bumper is plastic and weights 10lbs it doesn't really offer much protection so the frame ends are going to get the force anyways.

 

Agreed. And if you get a strong, heavy steel bumper, it will just push into the frame ends anyways... I'd like to get this setup, and just go bumperless. With the carrier and corners, you are already talking 150-200 pounds, without the wheel and tire! Adding a heavy steel bumper on will just make it worse.

 

I have this sitting in my garage and its by no means light, it actually made my old tire carrier combo seem light compared to it. Skin,s my 37, and the carrier easily clear 250 lbs hanging off the ass end once I begin installing it tomorrow. I gave a small bumper consideration but decided against it for obvious reasons.

 

Maybe add the Evo d ring caps instead of a bumper. Add a bid ass spike on the ends and hopefully that will keep idiots from trying to reared you shifting to second leaving a light.

 

Lmao. That's a great idea. Custom fab me a solid spiked strip.
