Anybody running Ace Engineering Stubby Front or their rear bumper with tire carrier? Wondering how it is holding up and if you like it?

 

Only at 2600 miles so far but it is very stout and was a good choice for me. Went led lights in rear off the backup light circuit. For front went led light bar beneath winch and connected to fog lamp circuit. Works great!
Rear bumper does collect mud as it is open on back side. Make sure to clean it out after wheeling

 

A friend has the front stubby and rear carrier, The swing on carriers weld have broke near the bumper. He has yet to notify them. Waiting to see what they say.

 

There stuff is very stout! There new front bumper looks real nice, and the new rear should be released soon.

And lifetime warranty, so im positive whatever the issue. They will make it right.

 

I had water collect inside my first swing arm which rusted in 2 weeks. The replacement broke a weld and I asked for a refund of the difference between the bumper and the bumper with tire carrier and got it. I still run the base bumper, it's solid and I haven't had any rust issues with it. I definitely wouldn't recommend the tire carrier though.

 

you get what you pay for.

 

be aware that the rear bumper and carrier weighs either 150 or 180 lbs, plus your tire and wheel weight.

you might need a new lift on top of your current one(if you have one) to gain back the height you'll lose back there

 

Their new Pro Series bull bar looks real good. If their bumpers are as strong as their fenders, they should have no problem in holding up.
