Looking for rear bumper w/ tire carrier

[Dprochef]

Just because they aren't "officially rated" doesn't mean they're only good for bike carriers and such. It costs a lot of money to have something officially tow rated.

I understand that, I just don't know if I want to tow anything that hasn't been proven. Especially if it could involve an accident or damage of my property. I'd rather be safe than sorry. Off roading with just me and my Jeep is a different story

Oh, I understand completely. Just thought I would put it out there. I don't run any bumper on both my JK's and still use the factory receiver.

i put the Maximus 3 carrier on my Jeep. i have had no issues with it. attaches at the hinges and swings with the gate.




but i did run into a issue with the same carrier on another Jeep where my buddy tightened the the tie joint to tight, twisted his tailgate and cracked it.

Isolators are the cheapest route if u know youre not going to drag it on ledges.

I've had my 37" KM2 that way for about a year.

I've been looking at this type, does it disconnect and swing free of the back door if you want? Or is it permanent nate to the door?

So I found a smittybuilt XRC front a rear Atlas bumper with tire swing that has a class III hitch. Anyone have any experience with this set up

its permanent really. you could undo the one bolt i guess , but with the tire on it would be a bigger pain in the ass then anything.

Is the latch just loose, do you know what rattles? I really like the look with the gas cans and a place to put the jack. I also like the front bumper.

Any other reviews???

I did adjust the latch some which helped ... the latch itself has some play in it (can see the spare bouncing on rough spots) it's not so bad that I'm in a hurry to change it. all in all it's not a bad bumper I tow with it also

I'm running the Warn Elite rear combo. Keeps the factory hitch, and if I remember correctly rated upto running 40" tire/wheel combo. Integrated one swing access with rear gate, and frame mounted. Some don't like the slightly offset mount, but I don't notice it nor mind it.

What about a body mounted carrier like Genright, Poison Spyder, or the Evo carrier?

Poison Spyder is a go too! Plus looks BA

ACE is heavy, but cheaper ($1000) and works great. 1/4" steel, tow rated hitch, available back up lights, holds a CB antenna, optional jerry can or hi lift holder available, fits perfect, I have one, as well as 2 others in my club. No rattles or issues in over a year. If you call them, you can get a lower tire mount so you can see out the back. I got one 1.5" lower than it comes with- because they're spec'd for a 37-40" tire. I also flush mounted a mopar 7 pin trailer socket and back up camera in it.

I've heard good stuff on the JCR one too, but have not seen one in person.

Here's the only pic I have of mine while on my work computer:
