Rear bumper-spare tire carrier

[PacificEd]

After this weekends adventure, it looks like a cut and fold (or cut off and replace with sheetmetal) will need to eventually happen to my XJ. I came down hard on the quarter just behind the passenger rear tire, mashing it up pretty good. Also my bumper is pretty flimsy to boot.

I was all geared up to get a Tailbone from Detours but now I think I'm going to see about a rear bumper/tire carrier that extends under the quarters.

My only parameters are to keep the cost low but very functional and strong.

So what are your thoughts?

I like the look of the Detours slimline.

The JCR Crusader Series looks pretty cool but it is $900 before adding any options (or so I figure from the website).

Any thoughts or recommendation on a better setup for less bucks?

I recommend a custom one from Driven Nashville.

I too recommend a custom bumper from Shrek.

Eh, I like most JCR products but that's not my favorite.

Here is Dirtbounds CNF bumper. I really like the profile but there is not a spare tire carrier option.

If I hadn't already given them $1200 for bumpers, I'd be all over those new ones! :yelclap:

JCR has 4 of these old style units left but they don't address the CNF. $700 + $105 shipping.

Ed just send let me know what you want it to have and I can start drafting up some designs for you.

I can build you whatever you want Ed, but I know Glenn is closer, but then again I'm a site sponsor so that's kinda up to you I guess. If you want a cut and fold on the rear I can build you something that will go well with that and also offer you protection for that. Maybe do something similar to what I did for Dan??? Although I have some different ideas that would look good on your Jeep.

I was admiring Dan's bumper at the Flog but failed to take any pictures of it. I like the profile although I think his is made to eventually accept an exocage down the road.

Can anyone provide a picture?

Nice to see Tyler chime in when there's a dime to be made. After seeing how he narrowed Mark's D44 I'd think twice about the bumper. Glenn is perfectly capable and has given more to this chapter than most could ever dream of.

Since we can't seem to play nice, I think I'll just wait to figure what I want to do. This was supposed to be fun.

Granted this is on an mj, but i just like the likes. Food for thought.
