I have the expedition one also. Great bumper very well made and great design BUT they do not have a way to carry fuel/water cans. I bought mine early '09 and at that point "it was in the works" they designed a great bumper and stopped. I have the highlift mount and antenna mount, both great. I guess it is up to us to design and build a tank carrier.

I ordered mine Aug 11 was told 6 weeks..... it arrived at my door step Sept 29th ... The coating is terrible around the hinge and the lock. It started showing rust after the first rain storm. I invested in some rustoelum, sprayed on some cardboard an applied with a q-tip for a decent cheap/hassle free fix.

Give us a call if there is a problem with the coating and we will replace it. We have been doing a lot work with our powder coater improving on their process. If there is an issue with it we will make sure gets taken care of. We are in the process of phasing out Matte Black, and switching everything to the textured finish because it seems to be a more quality coating.
I read in another thread on the forum about the rustoleum and it worked fine.
FYI If I didn’t get such a great deal from Dave on I probably would have sent it back the moment I opened the box.

The M.O.R.E rear/carrier is on my short list. Don't know why there's not more chatter about this one on the board.... I emailed M.O.R.E. last week about adding shackle points. They responded they "can add on your shackle mounts with backing plates for an additional $75.00" 
JKCliff, dou you have any straight on pics of carrier with your spare on? I'm going with 37's (soon! 4" Teraflex just got delivered the other day!) and of the few pics I've seen of the carrier I was wondering how high the spare actually sits.

I really like this bumper. I use a shackle in the receiver hitch... I like the clean lines and functionality of the tire swingout...

I am interested in where this was built. Was is manufactured in china? I was a huge fan of Body Armor until they moved operations to china.

I purshased the Mopar front and rear bumpers prior to adding bigger tires, so I went with the Hanson Offroad carrier that attaches to the tailgate hinges for strenght and opens with the gate - so far no rattles and seems to hold firm.
