Please don't hate me for being lazy and not researching this by myself.


I was just wondering what the cheapest brand of rear bumpers that come with tire carriers is? I've seen some cheap rear bumpers, but they either don't come with tire carriers or they do, but the price doubles.

 

I did a lot of research on this one and determined that the old saying "you get what you pay for" really applied. I had to wait a little longer to save the pennies, but it was worth it.

 

Rancho's Rock Gear is the cheapest tire carrier I have seen. The price is around $450 shipped from 4wd and some other sites. There are some members who have this already and say it is pretty solid. The design has one flaw, though, the tire swing hinge is at the back of the bumper and exposed to possible trail damage. It is a very simple design.

 

Ya that is a Cheap bumper

But like anything else its what you want, and what you want to pay for

 

I don't see a bumper at all in that picture.

 

I thought about getting that one but the more I looked at it the uglier it got.

 

Hrm....well I did ask for the cheapest! I suppose its functional, but I personally need something that looks better.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm going to check out the Bulldog Fab one.

 

I have found with JK parts that you get what you pay for. I think its better to decide on which style you require/like then look for quality for the price. I have a LOD rear signature series with carrier and I think it suits the JK the best of all the aftermarket bumpers! The price is good for the excellent quality of the product and there are lots of accessories that you can add later. Don't cheap out on something that everyone sees, you will probably regret it later. Do a search for LOD or go to their site. Did I forget to say they have great customer service and will modify things if asked. Here are a couple pics, the 3rd brake light is my mod, it is not from LOD.

 

The LOD Signature series looks good its listed as $899 plus $49 for the light kit.

I personally kinda like the Rancho Bumper. I was kinda debating on getting it or not.
