Ok well I'm looking at the OR-Fab swing away tire carrier that just uses the factory hinge cause I want one that opens with the tailgate but I also want a funcational rear bumper with mounting points an possible a hitch integrated too...

I was looking at the auto grille rear bumper an tire carrier all in one that's basically a Smitty now I can get that for the price of the ORFAB swing away.. But then I have to get a bumper on top of the swing away

Looking for anyone who has either one of them to way the pros an cons.. Are you able to lock the rear tire to the OR swing away using wheel locks or how does it attach to the swing away.. Also is the auto grille bumper/tire carrier hold up or is it to good to be true for the price.. I would really like to have the tailgate an carrier to open at the same time but if I can get a funcational rear bumper at the same time for a lil cheaper would it be worth it?

 

I run the non-can version and love it. The Or-Fab carrier does not use the factory hinge, all the supporting structure is hidden behind. The spin-on T handle secures the tire and there are holed to add a lock for extra security. You definitely get what you pay for, it is solid with zero rattles. Here are a couple pics. There's plenty of info on the site about this carrier.

 

I've seen in other pics you posted that you use to have a regular bumper/tire carrier... Do you like the ORFAB better then the traditional combo?

 

I love it. The flexibility is nice to be able to choose whatever bumper you want. I'm currently running with no rear bumper while I decide what I want (PSC or just Evo d-rings).

 

Mine has been on for more than a year and it is still solid as the day I installed it! Only rattles is the stupid but necessary high lift jack.

 

Thanks for the info guys

 

Also checkout the Ace rear bumper/carrier combo. Can't beat the price for $685
