Wanted, rear tire carrier pictures and testmonials on likes and dislikes..
I have a 2012 Jeep Jk rubicon and am in the market for a rear tire Carrie that will hold a 37" tire.. I've been leaning towards the the rock slider engineering rear bumper/tire carrier (like the style that attaches to the tailgate). Was hoping maybe I could get some pictures and testimonials on the diff brands and styles out there... I am also looking at front bumpers as well.. These pictures and testimonials would be appreciated as well... I have attached a few pictures of my jeep how it sets now..
Thanks in advance for any pictures or info on this matter..

x2 on the OR Fab. My carrier has been tested above and beyond what I think OR Fab intended it for, but it just keeps doing its job squeak free, rattle free and very easy to open. Heres a few photos with a 40" spare and some may have it when I run my 5 gal (x2) cans and Hi-lift jack.

Here is a picture of my Jeep on the rack for a wheel alignment. I have the Expedition One Trail Series bumper and tire carrier. It will hold up to a 40" tire. I have a 35" mounted on it now. It will also hold a Hi-Lift jack and has holes to bolt up other things like a CB antenna mount. There isn't a place to mount gas or water cans, but I didn't need that. The carrier swings open with the tailgate, so I don't need to open the tire carrier first if I want something out of the back.

Awesome guys... I really appreciate the pictures and feedback so far... The expedition one tire carrier is more along the style that I am looking for... Like the slim fit as snug to tailgate as possible and the fact it opens with tailgate as well... I don't need to carry gas cans either..
Look forward to additional pictures and testimonials

I just installed the GenRight Aluminum Tire Carrier. The install was pretty easy, and it is very easy to operate. It provides a nice tight, rattle-free fit. My main reason for going this route was for weight savings. The carrier is right around 20lbs, and it allows use of the stock bumper. I am working on building a small aluminum bumper to go with it. My front bumper/winch and Brawler Rocker sliders are pretty heavy, so I was looking to save a little on the ass end
