Hey guys I'm looking for a new rear bumper/tire carrier. Honestly I just want to be able to carry extra fuel on the back via jerry cans or a rotopax.

My concern first is I want a unit that opens with the stock tailgate. I open that thing 4 times a day for my dog to jump in and out and don't want it to be a separate unit. All I've found is the terra flex unit but I'm just not sold for the price.

Are there any tire carriers or rear bumpers I am missing that I can carry extra fuel with and still allow stock acess to my cargo area? Most I notice are swing away units. Thank in advance!!!!

 

The Teraflex HD carrier and Rotopax / Hi lift jack mount. The carrier replaces the stock hinges and allows up to a 37" tire. The Rotopax mount is designed for the 2 gallon can. I just installed this last week, was a simple job. Excellent quality and the tailgate closes very solid. Still waiting on the Rotopax.

 

No matter what setup you choose, you can also consider adding the Olympic thru-the-spare-tire mount... cost like $25-40 bucks and doesn't interfere with anything.

 

Hey, thanks alot for sharing that option. ive looked and looked and havent seen that. i was actually considreing the Olympic Sierra Rack, and just setting a can or two inside of that, but that option looks a little better. would you be able to share a few more pictures?

thanks!

Problem is i need a system that opens WITH the tail gate. not a swing along system. so all i can find that does that is the Terraflex.

any other options im missing?

 

AEV tire carrier is nice with even the stock bumper, the ace bumper is a nice option also

 

Well I have found a lot of options. Didn’t get much of a response so I thought I’d share em with you.

I want a tire carrier that opens with the tailgate. I think they are getting more popular as many companies are going with a linked system. Here are the few I’ve found

• Ace Pro Series – recovery options, trail hitch, lights
• Bestop Righrock- recovery, trail hitch
• Warn Eliete Series- recovery
• Expedition One- recovery
• ARB- recovery, high lift mount
• LOD signature series- recovery, trail hitch, lights high, lift, fuel options on passanger side
• Posion Spider Rock Brawler- recovery, trail hitch, lights,
• RSE- recovery, fule options on passsanger side
• AEV- recovery, high lift, fuel behind tire
• M.O.R.E. – no other options
• Rebbel off road- recovery, high lift, lights, trail hitch

There are also a few mid with and short bumpers but I don’t like that style so written any of those down.
