Default Smittybilt XRC rear bumper with tire carrier.

Anyone bought one of these recently. Have the issues with fitment, rattling and most importantly, it unlatching and opening on its own been addressed or is still still the same shit. I can get one for a good price but am not sure if it is worth it.

Save your money! Had fitment issues and rattles on my 08. Spend the extra$ and get a more reputable bumper. I eventually returned mine after 3 of the bumpers they sent me didn't fit. I was then told they had fitment issues on the 2 door and I would need to drill and cut for fitment when their instructions say easy bolt on install. I purchased the teraflex carrier and couldn't be happier.

After 3 years I am still happy with mine and I run a 37 on it at a awkward angle
