Default Rear bumper/ Tire carrier Suggestions

Seeing the front bumper thread that just got going, I thought people might have some good shots of their rear bumpers. (plus I'm in the market for one so it could help big.)

If anyone wouldn't mind posting up some pics of your jeeps rear, that would be much appreciated. Also who you ordered from and if theres any rattle or other cons

There are so many options out there (for front, too) that this thread will either huge or really short (too many options so people will link to other threads). For me, the biggest criteria was to make sure the thing doesn't rattle. Having said that,I also wanted rear back up lights, so it was either LOD or Shrockworks. I chose the latter knowing there would be a long wait. It's not here yet, but should be in a couple of weeks.

I'll play along. Here's mine. It is a Poison Spyder BFH rear bumper with the OR-Fab (non-can) tire carrier.






And here is after I relocated my license plate.




And...just because it is the Christmas season.

Yeah, I never really could imagine myself being anywhere where I couldn't get to a gas station, and wanted to keep everything in and as tight to the body as possible. I really like it.

Try the Maze area of Canyonlands. Definitely need extra gas. We use 5 to 10 gallons on our trips. This is what originally lead me to a carrier with gas can capabilities.

Does this tire carrier bolt to the tailgate hinges, and does it swing out seperately from the tailgate????
