Anyone have Smittybilt XRC Rear Bumper & Tire Carrier?
I am trying to decide on a good rear bumper and tire carrier. My Jeep is my everyday vehicle and need access to rear everyday also. So I need a system that is easy and durable. I like this one cause the release lever looks easy and convenient.... am I correct?
Any other suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks!

In my opinion, spend a little bit more money and get a better tire carrier. I have the same bumper and it rattles like crazy. To "Fix" it you have to tighten the tire carrier down to where the amount of force to open it is crazy. The spindle is not bearing based, but a clamp style. Very poor design along with the handle. Many have had zero problems, but I wish I would have spent just a little bit more and gotten a better carrier.
