looking to get a rear bumper tire carrier, and i have finally narrowed it down to two different bumpers:
bestop highrock 4x4
smittybilt src
there is only about $100 price difference, and my front bumper is the src so that is why i am looking at it just to have it match all around.
Just looking for y'alls two cents and see if i can be helped with my choice and get some first hand reviews

I've got the Smitty rear tire carrier/bumper (XRC version). I've seen some people complain about quality, but I have had no issues for what it's worth.

Bump for the night stalkers!

I had the XRC bumpers and tire carrier on my TJ and found it to be a good value for the money. I loved the look.

Of your choices I like the look of the XRC best. I think 4wd.com has them for $899 right now with free shipping. Brian AKA Bustabizz is a rep on the forum. PM him and can assist you.

My personal preference is the Poison Spyder Rock Brawler with Tire Carrier (that's what I have) or LoD Signature Series Gen 3 with Tire Carrier.

I saw the XRC also but couldn't really tell if it left the body corners exposed that why I was looking at the SRC for the little bit of extra protection. And the bestop because of the deal and had the mounts for antenna and highlift

Bump again for some answers

I've got the Smittybilt SRCs on front and rear (w/ tire carrier); the tire carrier is a PITA due to alignment issues of the handle and the handle itself. But Loctite solved the handle issue and the alignment issue isn't worth $100 extra. I will buy both again on my next Jeep.
