looks good and works nicely as a one hand/single step operation but if you plan on carrying anything larger than a 37's, i wouldn't recommend it. i know their website says otherwise but i have seen them break under the weight of a 40.

I just installed this bumper 1 week ago on my JK. I am impressed with the the build quality, welds, and powdercoat. Also appears to be rattlefree (unlike other tire carrier/bumpers I have had in the past). Not sure how well it will hold up over time, but we will see.

Gerri at Lunatic Customs is installing one on mine this wed. Like the looks and the idea I can open the door and the tire carrier together. I run 35s. His other customers seem to like theirs.

Ya, have had no issues with it. I did the install in a couple hours with the wifes help. It took almost as long to unpack it, they really did a good job protecting it for shipping!

I run this bumper with a 42" MTR/K on it. Never had any issues. I really like that it is integrated with the tailgate. Really easy to install, there is a great install video online. They company has great support, always helped me out when I had questions.
