Help me pick my new rear bumper!
Hey guys,
Brand new 2011 Rubi, just put a 3" Teraflex kit and 35" Nitto's on it. That big tire on the stock carrier has GOT to go before I rip the tailgate off! I think I've got it narrowed down to the Rock Hard rear bumper with tire carrier or the Poison Spyder JK RockBrawler Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier. Any input from you guys on which way to go?
Thanks!

Go OrFab. Love the fit, finish, and function of their stuff.
Here are some pics of mine, Only one has my current 37s on. The other were after I installed everything and before I got my 37s.

I like the OR Fab stuff...but I'm concerned about that tailgate mount for the spare. I think it needs to mount to the bumper to preserve the tailgate....not really interested in anything that rattles either....

It uses the rear section of the quarter panel beside the tails. A brace is put in there as well.

Hmm, Big John, do you happen to work for Addicted? 1st post and you're talking about a company? interesting.
to the OP, I really like PureJeep's latest design. mainly for the integrated hitch AND rear lights

This is totally correct. It mounts to the rear quarter section of the tub. There is extensive bracing installed in side as well. It doesn't rattle at all as well as I'm sure anyone using there stuff will tell you. Mine is carrying a 37" tire and there is absolutely no noise from the carrier.
Here are some pics of where it installs.

I knew that question was going to come up. I help him out once in a while so I guess yes. Sorry if I offended anyone and I'm surely not here to spam. I actually like custom stuff and don't think people realize how affordable it CAN be. Since the OP is local, I figured I'd give him another option that he may not have considered.
I just picked up a JK a few weeks ago and haven't had a chance to do anything to it yet so I really haven't had much to add to the forum till now. I used to have a YJ and a lot has changed so I spend more time reading here than anything else.
