I could have sworn I saw on this forum a few weeks ago a picture of a rear bumper with a tire carrier that was hinged off of the bumper, but attached to the tailgate of the JK. In other words, the tire carrier did not have a separate latch - it opened with the tailgate. The weight, however, was primarily supported by the bumper.

I have searched to no end and cannot find the picture. Does anyone remember what bumper I am referring to?

...or am I just crazy?

 

I remember seeing that but dont recall the thread or brand. Did you look in the Manufs forums?

 

is it the Expedition One rear bumper?

Here is a thread:

That's the one I was thinking about...not sure if thats what OP was referring to or not. Thanks for the link I couldnt find it either.

 

That's it!!

I can cancel my appointment with the shrink this afternoon!
