PSC......love it



Easy to install without any cutting or anything.

 

AEV carrier with the stock bumper, because I like the look of the stock bumper and it weighs next to nothing. As for the carrier, I think it is great. I never even really considered anything else. Never a rattle, and the fuel caddy option makes it unique and even more practical.

 

LOD linked shorty. Love it. No rattles. Yes I would purchase again. Long wait to get it. But worth it.

 

AEV rear Bumper and tire carrier. pricey yes but the quality is great no rattles or issues other than the stupid white cap.

 

OR-FAB with jerry gas can carrier.
Stock bumper (still deciding witch aftermarket model)

Yes. Quite happy. Got it from Dave @ Northridge who has a great service.

No rattling or sagging even with both gas cans full.

Would buy again. I chose this one because it keeps both cans low (low center of gravity) and protected (the cans are not exposed like on the models that mount them high beside the spare.
Only negative is the finishing, which leaves somewhat to be desired. I'll paint it once it gets warmer and drier here.

 

It's one of the most important things in my book to look for when it comes to buying parts for you're Jeep. The quality of the steel is very important. Being a steelworker, I know. The China $hit, cant hold a candle to the quality of steel that is produced in the USA...

Plus, you are buying American...that in itself is a no-brainer.

 

I have the Smitty Built XRC rear bumper + tire carrier. I have been very happy with it overall. I had some rattling in conjunction with the handle - it was actually rattling the handle to the open position which would allow the tire carrier to open (swing out) very concerning, but I went back to 4wheelparts where I bought it and they replaced the entire set-up - bumper + tire carrier and the handle was a newer version. I have not had any more issues. This is still one of my favorite looking bumper + tire carrier set up. I got the matching XRC front as well.

If you want a more stock / clean looking set up check out the AEV tire carrier that works in conjunction with your stock bumper and allows the gate to swing out with the tire carrier for a single motion set up as opposed to having to swing out the tire and then open the gate. This is really functional and pretty cool IMO.

 

Completely happy with my Expedition One rear bumper with linked tire carrier. Did lots of research. Price, quality, craftsmanship, ease of installation are all first class. Did I mention it works with my stock Mopar hitch? Or that it's pretty easy to raise or lower my spare tire height?
