After reading the reviews I was a bit worried about having to drop the gas tank to install the bumper. But once I actually started putting it on it was a cinch and using two extensions on a ratchet there was no need to drop the gas tank it all. Bumper is super sturdy and same with the tire carrier. I've had no issues with it rattling or coming undone like I've read on different reviews. And that includes having my spare tire and bicycle rack and bicycle on it.

I live in where deer and elk are on the road. The set offer great protection and sweet style. The price of adding a hitch and getting the tire off the door covers the price of setup. The noise is starting after breaking in and can be shimed out but i didn't buy a jeep because it is quiet! It has added stregth to my 06 LJ Rub.

This is a good looking bumper for under $500.00. I installed it on my 2006 Rubicon and it took about 30-45 minuts to install. The only problem I had was I had to lower the gas tank to be able to tighten the inner 2 nuts and bolts.

Looks great no aggravating trail,highway noise's easy install, easy open. Thanks Chuck EXT 5144

Assembled good and looks great. Had to adjust the locking mechanism but not a big deal. All in all a good bumper.

With some modification I made it fit my 2009 Subaru Forester. The overall build is really good, but it will rattle on the trails without some modification to the swing out arm.

I bought the SRC rear bumper w/ tire mount to match my front bumper, and it really looks great on my Jeep and took all that weight of the 36" tire off my tailgate. Love the swing out tire makes it easier to load stuff in the back. It was very easy to install took about 30 minutes.

It rattles. I fixed the rattle with a rubber radiator hose to put tension but even the hinge still creaks. If the sound of metal annoys you, look elsewhere. Other than that, it does the job.
