2013 Rear Bumper w/ Swing away tire carrier OR Bumper and Hinged tire carrier?
I have a 2013 JKU MOAB Bright White. No off-road use ( I have a SXS for that ) Currently I have a Smittybilt XRC Gen 1 rear bumper and tire carrier that needs to be replaced. I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to not have to open TWO things. I have been looking at the XRC rear bumper without tire carrier and the Smittybilt Pivot HD tailgate tire carrier. I have Fuel Maverick 18" wheels and 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers so I'm looking at 100lbs. I would appreciate any real life experience or advise in trying to choose what to get. I like a more clean sleek look and something that at least resembles my front bumper. I'm not opposed to a bumper spare tire carrier as long as it opens with the tailgate. If you have pictures that would be great too! I'm attaching pics of the XRC bumper and tailgate spare tire carrier and then pics of my JKU if that helps Smittybilt Pivot Tailgate Spare Tire Carrier XRC Rear bumper
