Default Help me find a bumper.

I'm looking for a rear bumper with a built in hitch for our mountain bike carrier. I would also like it to have an option to add on a spare tire carrier later down the road and maybe even a cargo system. I don't care if it has the back up lights built in or not. It also needs to have built in recovery points as well.
The trick so far seems to be finding one that has a built in hitch That I like the looks of.
Thanks for the help guys.

Shrockworks, LOD, And High Rock 4X4. With the first two for sure you can add the tire carrier later. Not sure about the High Rock. I'm sure there are others too.

Default Rear bumper

I personally like LOD. I like the looks and it works great. It has a two inch receiver hole and they provide a plate to hook chains to if you decide to tow something. You can add jeep can holders and a rack when you want to. It was a little bit of a wait on ship lead time but well worth the wait. It has lights in it.

Yeah sorry I should have listed some of the ones we were looking at. The rockhard and the LoD are the 2 front runners. I like the look of the rock hard one but know little about them and the latch to release the tire carrier looks a little weak sauce.

Don't forget the cup holders. They are all the rage now on everything you buy!
Good luck on your search.
