I have one... It's solid and I have no complaints
Only thing I wish It had was a place to mount a rotopax

I'm looking for a solid unit that won't rattle much, and will hold up a 37" tire plus extra fuel, and possibly an extra rack on top. I like the ease of opening both tail gate and tire carrier, and the price of $935 is attractive too.

Maybe the Cam Can is the way to go for extra fuel?

I noticed you also have the front bumper as well. Could you post a pic or two?

I have been looking at the AEV. Can the carrier alone be installed without the bumper?

Do you have any pics Yeep?

Yes. Maybe even with a Evo fascia. That would be cool.

I think the orfab tire carrier would be good if you want something light that will let you open the tailgate easily.

Yes the OR-Fab is also cool.

I've had my ace rear number for 2 years now and have not experienced any rattles. I would recommend it. As for overlanding, I don't think it was designed for putting a bunch of accessories on it.

You talking AEV. It's a bolt on.

I run the bumper and overall very pleased with it. Last year I added the slant mount and aside from it being a real bitch to get the tire mounted by yourself it's not bad. It looks like they make a hi-lift option now that could probably be tweaked to be used as a jerry can mount, or a reference to make your own since it just bolts to the star/gear shaped holes. The only real gotcha was lead time, I think Northridge and a few other stock them now so you may not get the 6-8 week build/shipping time.

Thumps up!! I just finished installing mine this past weekend. It's pretty solid and no rattles so far, very nice looking bumper/tire carrier..and it holds a 37" pretty good..
