Sure I can take some more pics. I would call it a stubby, just wraps the tub. Does not go out to the flares. They are also designing an add on for hi lift, roto pax and cb.

I have the Ace mid width front bumper and their pro line rear bumper with tire carrier
I can't say enough good things about the Ace products
Very well built and nice finish/clean looking welds etc
If you buy direct and pay shipping usually adds up to a good savings vs other sources, in my experience

Other -- Bestop HighRock Rear Bumper & Tire carrier.
Strong bumper, good welds.
Someone bumped into it from behind. The front of her family car bent almost to the radiator, couldn't find even a scratch on my bumper - so the finish, too, is quite resilient.
Massive tire carrier hinge.
The carrier is attached to the rear gate. Opening the gate also swings out the tire carrier.
No noise or rattling after a year of DD & offroading.
The front bumper is ARB. The two bumpers resemble each other in design, so they look like a set.

X2 on this I bought this after we were re-ended with a stock bumper and very happy with it on the trails, have a few scrapes on rocks and it hold up well

The center bolt in this picture is tightened down to pull the tire against the carrier frame. Nice and snug.

Love the khaki top on black!
Also yes, OR-Fab with Rotopax has been my favorite I've had on any Jeep.
Someone else mentioned Expedition One. I do agree that they make a great looking and smooth functioning product. Shame they aren't more popular.

I had no idea I'd get such a great response to this post. Thanks to everyone. Right now... I'm leaning toward ACE. Never heard of them... but it looks like a great product... the YouTube video for install looks extremely simple... and the positive comments about Customer Service were convincing as well.
Thanks again to everyone.

Many informed opinions have been posted so far. My choice was Expedition One for reasons that it is full width for protection, very well built, and opens with tailgate - if those are needed, then put it on your list. My other considerations were LOD and ACE.
