Can i please get a review of the rugged ridge xhd bumper and tire carrier combo im about to buy one off amazon its the cheapest one with access to the trailer hitch which is what i need. ...maybe someone can name another bumper tire carrier combo that will work with the stock trailer hitch thats not so pricey?

 

I also was looking at the jcr combo but it says it comes unfinished and the last thing i wanna do is have to get it painted

 

I love my xhd rear bumper. The tire carrier from what I read has issues over time. I'm going to add the teraflex tire carrier.

 

X2, bumper is great. Sold my tire carrier and went with the Teraflex HD tire carrier.

 

Same here. Kept bumper "pod version" due to low weight and went with TF carrier. RR tire carrier sits in garage....free to good home.

 

A lot of people are happy with the Teraflex Tire Carrier. If you go with a tub mounted carrier, you have a few other options for bumpers. The Olympic 4X4 Rock Rear Bumper allows you to maintain the factory receiver set up and is a nice looking option.

Let me know if you have any questions or would like a quote!

Ok thanx guys and xtryan is there an olympic one with a tire carrier or do they make one to purchase separately from the bumper or do even make a tire carrier at all if so i would lik a quote on both cause if they do make a a carrier for it im sold

 

I have the rear bumper and carrier holding a mtz 35" tire

I suggest you spend your money on another bumper and carrier.

The bumper has held up extremely well. Smashed it many times off rocks with no problems. While the departure angle is not what I want, it is passable. I could live with the bumper

But the carrier? What junk. Ive had it almost 2 1/2 years now and I suggest against it for following reasons:

1) tire sticks out way too far and causes for crappy departure angles
2) the bolts loosen up all the time and cause the tire to bounce around
3) I alwayyysssss hit my tire off a steep decline
4) it has become so hard to open and close
5) it just isn't strong.

Hope you look into something different

 

Hey jeepwave ur referring to the olympic one??

 

The Olympic 4x4 550 with Tire Carrier is an option for you. As far as I know they don't make a tire carrier for the Rock Rear Bumper that I linked you to. I will PM you a quote on that 550 bumper with the carrier!
