Default Highrock (Bestop) Rear Bumper with tire carrier?

Anyone get the new Highrock (er Bestop ) rear bumper with the tire carrier yet? Looks like a nice design. What about the front stubby? How is the quality?

Been holding off on buying anything else anticipating the Bestop

I have had the front Bestop stubby since EJS. I like it and my Smittybilt winch bolted on with no problems and now my new Warn bolted on with no problems. My only headache was very limited room for wrenching the factory fogs in.

The delay for the rear was a decision to "beef up" the product more than originally planned, "as I have been told" by my friends at Bestop. . I will be looking forward to having that bumper soon. I currently have their current High Rock rear bumper and it has survived much rock crawling abuse.

I'd post up a few pics right now, but I am on my IPad and this idiot tablet design will not upload photos, unless one of you know how and can splain it to me.
