I think it is awesome! But I am obviously a little bias.

I've only seen it on one jk in person. Dont know if it was supposed to be but.. the tire carrier appeared to be really spaced from the gate. This was with a 35. Not sure of width... I would see what the space if between carrier and gate. Anybody got side pics? Rancho?

The space is for storing a hi jack lift. Here are a few more pics. 37's BTW.

I'm a huge fan of this rear bumper tire carrier except for the sides. It just leaves a gap that i don't like, however, when I purchase this... Which I will next month... I'm gonna have some ends fab'd and welded on. Maybe some bent tubes. As for the sbaab ( space between ass and balls ) ( space from rear gate and tire carrier) i love it. Makes for more room to customize. I'll be getting a mig soon and plan to make some can holders and a storage rack. From what I've seen... Rancho products are built tough. And the price its badass!!

I wish they would put a couple of recovery points on their bumpers (both front and back).

You know what... I never even noticed. I was too enthralled on the fact of modding it to. Things to think about. Ugh. Lol
