who on here has this rear bumper? i have 35's so i would mount a 35 inch spare, the thing is i love to use my rear view mirror. from the looks of it it seems kinda useless. any real world reviews?



i was looking at this rear bumper and tire carrier but it has no high lift mount. so thats kind or a kicker for me. i need a high lift mount. any opinions and advice would be greatly appreciated

 

Hi, You could always mount it on the roof so this way its not blocking the rear view...Tj

 

check out custom4x4fabrication. i have their rear bumper but i have 31 inch tires so i see almost all out my back window, i dont know how 35's would look but i love mine. it fits a hi lift too, on the bottom.

 

well lifting a 35 inch km2 on to the top of my xj with 6.5 inch lift i would assume would be a royal pain in the ***. i have not attempted it but im sure it would suck. i have thought about just keeping my stock rear bumper and going the basket/tire mount route, i do a lot of tight trails and stuff is always hanging down, plus i get 13mpg currently and i think the tire on the roof would make it worse.

In my opinion this one is alot better than the JCR bumper that your wanting. but JMO.
i would think with the 35 u could see fairly good out the back window. i see out the whole window with 31's and 33's.. just not directly below the back of the jeep

 

thanks i have been browsing there site, stuff looks good. what did u do about a license plate light?

 

well i just installed it so i haven't done that yet. I probably wont mess with it for awhile. i talked to the police in my county and they said they wouldn't pull me over. its easily fixable though. i probably will never install a light, jus mount it to the left or right bottom of bumper.
