Default ACE Tire Carrier NEED PICS

I'm seriously thinking about getting the ACE bumper / tire carrier. But I'm concerned about mounting things to it like rotopax, CB antenna etc.

Can anyone post pics of the bumper with things your mounted to it with info?

Mine should be on Friday if you can wait. I ordered it 5/25 and I'm finally getting it.

Thanks for the pic but I'm looking for a way to mount things on it. That's what I was hoping to see pictures of.

Why so long? Where did you order it from?

The holes in the carrier plate are where you can bolt on an antenna, hi lift, etc after you mount the tire.

I ordered direct from ACE. Adam told me 4 to 5 weeks but then they had an issue with their steel supplier giving them the wrong grade steel. They had to rebuild a bunch of carriers that already went out so mine got put off for awhile. It sucks but I love the front so I'll suck it up. It was also much cheaper and I think a better design for the carrier than most options of that caliber. I paid around $1600 shipped for the front, rear and rails where most quality armor would have been into $1200+ for just a rear with a carrier.

Fair enough... thanks for the input on the holes. I've got a RR XHD front bumper with the stinger and wasn't going to get a rear until I read about tailgates cracking. The ACE seemed like a good product along with being cheap like you said. I'm also planning on getting the rails at the same time.
