LOD Rear Bumper Without Tire Carrier
Does anyone have a picture of the Lod rear bumper only, without the tire carrier, on a JK with the stock 17" wheel and tire mounted on the tailgate? I have serached this forum, Lod's website, and Google, and have not found a single one! I am very interested in this rear bumper, but I would like to see how it looks with this set up first, and to see if there would be room to upgrade to a larger wheel & tire at a later date. Thanks.

I'm picking the bumpers up this weekend. I'm wondering if I can run it without the carrier myself. I'll probably try first and give you the reason why not in a week or so.

Asked Chris the question when I picked up the bumpers today. The answer is No. The metal stub that holds the swing away is bare metal and will rust if left exposed. It is meant to be lubed etc.... (shameless pic to follow)
