Rampage Rear Bumper
New Rampage catalog shows their rear bumper with tire carrier is connected to tailgate.
Rampage Page 17
Anyone have this? How does it compare to the HighRock/Bestop?

Rear Bumper Bump
Ok. So nobody here has or has seen the new Rampage rear bumper with tire carrier that swings with the tailgate. 
So, what is your opinion of the design? Advantage of the tire carrier moving with the tailgate or not? Still has stowed locking pin in bumper, maybe?
I like the rear light cutouts. I have a boat trailer and when I hitch-up at 4am I think built in lights would be convenient.
Will it work with a factory receiver hitch?

I checked with Rampage and found out:
1) The rear gate and tire carrier are joined together via a spherical rod end assembly so that you only need to open the tailgate of the Jeep to open the spare tire carrier. Eliminates the need to open the carrier, then open the gate.
2) The factory hitch receiver does not work with Rampage Recovery Rear Bumpers due to how the bumper mounts use the same holes. They offer a new hitch though, part number 86611 that attaches to the bumper.
3) The Rampage bumper does not have provisions for mounting the OE 3rd brake light or even an extension. If your local laws require you to have the 3rd brake light, they recommend getting part number 86615. This is a full 3rd brake light assembly that mounts via any spare tire plate. Can be wired in to existing trailer towing wiring or hard wired in through the existing 3rd brake light wiring.
4) At this time, they do not have any option for mounting any additional pieces to the rear bumpers (jerry can, hi-lift). They do have plans to build bracket kits to hold accessories but do not have any ETA at this time.
I like the carrier attached to the gate. I would not be happy losing my hitch and light.
