I think I might go with that Eautogrills rear bumper and tire carrier. For the money it's hard to beat all that you get from it. I just worry that's it made cheap and will break a little bit down the road.

Awesome! It is certainly possible, but for the price you can always take it to a welding shop and have it repaired or re-powdercoated, but from the looks of mine I doubt I will ever have to do that. (I haven't wheeled it much though)

I went with a Warn rear bumper and a Hanson tire carrier, as I did not want to un-latch two things just to get into the rear, and the Hanson attached to the OEM hinges.
I wheel pretty hard and after 2 years+ and 20K + miles, no rattles, etc.

Fyi I have read that the taillight guards are a bad idea as they can transfer the damage to the body panel instead of just the light. Just what ive heard.
