That looks very nice.

It holds up to a 35" tire? Did you need a spacer to set the wheel further out, or are the studs long for many wheel depths?

The kit if you can see sits on a standard 2" reciever you have to drill the hole to mount the tire in your desired location. Pretty slick if you ask me that is a 35 on there now and looks like enough room to clear a 37 but would be close.

No what I was saying is the mount for the tire is just a piece of plate steele that is welded to a piece of 2" square stock. The swing away has a hole that it mounts into aprox the same demensions as a 2" reciever. I was saying when you get the kit it is pre drilled. you first mount the flange onto the tire then put it into the reciever on the swing away arm and mark it making it adjustable.

It looks like it has provisions to add a top rack? I see 2 bolts sticking out of the triangle behind the tire.

Do they sell a top rack for it?

hey that looks pretty good. I like how with the mopar bumper you can buy the bumper then buy the carrier part later, although neither is cheap

Is it me or does your mopar rear bumper look more gray than black?

I went to the stealership the day after I bought the jeep and bought all my accessories through them and they cut me a pretty good break. My tail light guards should be in tomorow.. I was looking at other setups but the lazer cut JEEP logo in the bumpers sealed the deal. This is what a jeep should look like when it comes from the factory.
