X's 2 on an awesome bumper as well! I've had mine for a little over 2 years now, and couldn't be happier! I added the optional water tank to mine. The functionality of the tire carrier is absolutely superb. Not a single rattle, ever! I love the fact it holds a shovel in front of the spare as well. I was worried about it twisting into the body and damaging the paint, but the design refuses to let it do so. No matter how hard you push the Jeep!! I have bounced that bumper off of more rocks than I can count, and it has held up just fine!

I'm sold
AEV it is, I'm convinced. It might be a couple more weeks but I'll try to post some pics. It'll be a relief to have a spare and 3rd brake light once again!

Got it
Finally got the AEV tire carrier and CHMSL installed. I couldn't be happier with it. Granted it wasn't cheap but alot of times you get what you pay for. There's a reason AEV is one of the top companies for jeep products. It's very well engineered and well built. I also like the idea of supporting a local company.

Glad you got it installed, it looks great! It's not only good looking, but it can take some abuse! Mine took a direct hit by a 400-500 pound tree limb last year while offroading at Katemci Rocks. The top was completely destroyed, along with some small dings and scratches everywhere, but the tire carrier was unharmed! I had to drive out from underneath the limb! The first pic shows the limb that came down on me.
