Default Smittybilt Atlas Rear bumper - side pics please + opinions

Looking for some full profile side pics of rigs with this bumper. I am trying to see if the rear tire hangs too far off the rear. Anyone with this bumper i would like to hear your opinions and see some pictures. I am currently stuck between this bumper/carrier, the Besttops Highrock, and possibly the LOD

Thanks guys

If you have any pics or have some time to post some I would appreciate it Google is not really giving me any side views to see how far the tire sticks off the rear

found this on jeepforum.com. Full install review of the Atlas rear with pictures.

Smittybilt 76896 XRC Atlas Rear Bumper Install and Review - JeepForum.com

This sealed it for me. XRC in the front, Atlas in the rear.

That is my Jeep and you are more than welcome to use the picture.

I have my tire mounted high so now my departure angle is better than stock, even with the set back from the tailgate, which is only 8 inches, the width of a gas can.

As for the poster lamenting the weight and poor mileage, that's all you, bro. I just ran the Mojave Road, fully loaded inside, with camping gear and 15 gallons of water and 10 gallons of gas on the XRC Atlas, a Frontrunner Offroad grill, and a Trasharoo full of firewood hanging off of my spare tire and I averaged 17.4 MPG getting from L.A. To Needles, CA to start the off road trip, then averaged 14.1 MPG on the trail
