I am in the market for a rear tire carrier and or bumper. I am looking at AEV, LOD or E1 because I want the tire carrier to integrate into the gate. After a recent wheeling trip and several project JK videos I am concerned about my 37" Toyo getting caught dropping off of ledges (ie departure angle).

Is there a bumper or carrier that offers a rear skid/stinger?

I searched and found the PSC carrier, but read that there are issues with it. I have seen the hitch bar skids but I am not convinced they would be effective.

Ideas, or alternatives would be appreciated. I might just try to fabricate something if there are no good options.

 

Look in the classifieds, Under JK bumpers im pretty sure Calijk is sailing pretty much what your looking for!! Its about 10 or so down the list with a bunch of picks.

 

Thanks. I saw this earlier. Is the bar attached to the hitch? That's what it looks like. Does anyone have experience with this setup? It still looks like there is a lot of tire to catch on lips.

 

I think Off Road Evolution makes really nice rear one with a stinger. However I couldn't find it on their website... Look at the JKXperience thread. EVO rig have it, you will find on page 7 i think

 

Have you considered T&T Customs?

Integrated tailgate operation, hand made in Cheyenne, WY. And built to your specs (spare protection). Best quality and craftmanship I have ever seen. And no, I don't work for them.
