I got mine from mudflaps.com. Great service. Got a deep discount due to a screw up on their end. They honored the deal and took care of me. Try them out.

The GI cans I tried at desert rat were metal. The lip on the bottom made the can too deep to fit in the basket.

And the main reason I want it...the fuel can carriers.do they hold the newer US plastic style jerry cans (US MFC)? They show holding the the NATO style metal ones. the capacity is the same (20L = 5+ish gals) and I think the ext dimensions are negilible.

Also, any 1 added over tire cargo rack to tailgate using this carrier that pushes the tire furhter rearward? doe sit look ok?

Well, we ran the Mojave Road last weekend. I attached a Frontrunner Off-Road spare tire grill, and a Trasharoo full of firewood to the outside of the spare, on top of the weight of two full fuel cans. Not a single issue with the bumper the entire trip. My rear license plate light and mount did vibrate completely off the rear quarter panel and my GoPro fell of the front bumper and was driven over (no, it did not survive) but these had nothing to do with the XRC Atlas bumper.

Default Good quality

I have Smittybilt XRC front and rear bumpers on my JKU. Starting from shipping they took great care and packed them properly. Instructions were easy to follow. All in all people may say Smittybilt stinks but I have had nothing but good luck with them.Attachment 546832

Default Smittybilt XRC bumpers advise needed please.

Hi everyone, I have XRC front and rear bumpers installed on my 2007 JK. This weekend I will be going to Jeep Beach in Daytona Beach and was wondering if there's anything I can put on the bumpers to protect them from the salt water. I was thinking about applying some WD40? Thanks.
