Default Rear Bumper & Tire Carrier (POLL)

Any comments/suggestions on a rear bumper and tire carrier? I'm obviously looking for Price, Appearance and Durability.

Please vote. If you suggest "Other"... Please specify.

I don't intend on ever going bigger than 34".

The LOD shorty with linked carrier or the TF HD hinged carrier (since you are only going to 34). By far my favorite.

I voted other.

Poison Spyder BFH Rear Bumper (great departure angle)

GenRight Swingout Tire Carrier

That's what I run and I couldn't be happier. In spots where other rigs are knocking the shit outta' their rear bumpers, I glide right over with no contact at all.

E-AutoGrilles front and rear. Not the best quality powder coat but built solid. (Rattle-can bed-liner is cheap.)

Easy to install. Easy to modify. Easy on the wallet.

I like them. Works for me.

Other -- Bestop HighRock Rear Bumper & Tire carrier.

Strong bumper, good welds.
Someone bumped into it from behind. The front of her family car bent almost to the radiator, couldn't find even a scratch on my bumper - so the finish, too, is quite resilient.

Massive tire carrier hinge.

The carrier is attached to the rear gate. Opening the gate also swings out the tire carrier.
No noise or rattling after a year of DD & offroading.

The front bumper is ARB. The two bumpers resemble each other in design, so they look like a set.

LoD rear bumper has taken some abuse. Been on for over 18 and no rattles or shakes.
