Default Rear tire carrier and bumper questions

So I've been thinking about ordering a new rear tire carrier and bumper for my 2011 rubicon. I've been looking at the teraflex new tire carrier and possibly the bumper to go with it but it's pretty costly. Any ideas on a good rear bumper that looks good with the bushwacker flat fenders? Send picks please.

The are a lot of great products out there for sure. There are some things you'll need to consider before buying like, do you want full width (all the way out to the fender flares) or stubby (out to the fenders only)? Do you want a single action (linked to gate) or double action (release tire carrier then open gate). Price poor is another serious consideration. Not all bumpers are created equally in this area, and your budget may ber the deciding factor. With that said, there are lots that are worthy. Here are some...



Expedition One (single action)
Poison Spyder (double action)
LOD (single action)
JCR (double action I think)
AEV (single action)


You can google these and find lots of pics.
