It took me a while to get over how much a lot of JK rear bumper/carriers cost. I went with the LoD gen3 w/ tire carrier, and I'm happy with it even though it was pricey as all hell. I believe you can get one without the tire carrier. Good fit, no rattles, and beefy. You kind of forget about the money you dropped on it after pulling the trigger (much like a lot of large JK purchases--tires,gear,lockers, etc). Its kind of like pulling off a band-aid.
