A couple of concerns with the carrier:
The center latch on the tailgate hangs up and is hard to release without a simultaneous shove on the tire.
The top basket legs can move up and down on their attachment posts, without the can weight, and cause a rattle on washboard roads. I've had to wire mine down.
One other minor thing. If you add the top basket, cut off the CB mount tab. There already is one on the tire carrier, and the double thickness doesn't work with a Firestick.
The bumper is great and gives me quite a bit of clearance.

I have the LoD front and rears. They are both great. The only problem I have is not the bumper but the hi-jack that is attached to the bumper. It rattles to much when I hit bumps.

I dont have the new lod yet, but it should be here in two weeks? I love my lod sliders. Call Chris at lod if you have questions about it, he is great to work with over the phone.

I have also resently seen the new Hanson bumber on several jeeps here and it's a really nice design. I also really like the new GenRight bumper in Aluminum if you don'r need the jerry cans racks.
