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!

This is the only real pic I have of it. I keep the spigot attachment in the storage area. You can see the black cap below my license plate.

I love mine, extremely quiet with a heavy ass 20x12 and 38x15.5 nitto mud.

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!

Default 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.Click image for larger version

Get the Teraflex carrier. Much better than AEV.

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.
