Does anyone know which bumpers w/ tire carriers allow the tire carrier to swing open w/ the tailgate? In other words I don't want to have to unlock and swing out the tire carrier before I can open the tailgate. I know that the Expedition One bumper works this way, do any of you know of any others? If you have something like this are you happy with it?

Thanks for the help!

 

Ive got the expedition one and am not impressed. Alot of monkeying around adjusting it all the time and rust coming out of the inside after the first month

 

For what they cost it should be dialed in!!

Thanks for the input.

 

I have had the Expedition one for a year. no rust and havn't had to adjust it since I installed it. My only complaint is the lack of any kind of a jerry can holder for it not a steel can or their Geri can.

 

I know that Rugged Ridge has a new tire carrier linkage for their XHD carrier that connects it to the tailgate. You can find this at the bottom of their XHD page:

I haven't pulled the trigger on a rear bumper/tire carrier yet, but the XHD is on the short list.

 

M.O.R.E. has one that swings with the tailgate. I installed it last month. Looks good, holds my Hi-lift, and is rattle-free. Was less $$ than the Expedition One too.

 

Thanks for the heads up, this MORE unit is nice. Are there any recovery points on it, I don't see any.

 

I have not seen this before, thanks. Does any one have this already? Does the linkage work as advertised?

 

Wow, the sale price on right now is very reasonable. Do you have pics of it installed on your Jeep? I would like to see it from behind with stock flares.

 

AEV makes a really nice looking and functional one. I just bought the premium front bumper and the quality is top notch. I will be adding the rear bumper some time in the future.
