c-rok tire carrier and bump opinions please
Hey guys sorry I haven't been on in awhile. School down in houston has kept me occupied lol. Well I dont have the time or the place anymore to build my bumpers like I planned so looking at this one. Has anyone ran this bumper? I cant tell a whole lot from there pics but that its a two piece set up. Just wondering how it built from good thick materials? And if it bounces around like most of them. Any opinions would be great.

Actually have one, but not installed yet. Also have the front bumper. Yes they are built well with heavy metal. Tire carrier is beefy and shouldn't bounce. You have an option to have the tire high like in the photo or low centered on the gate. I chose low. Hopefully have them installed in teh next week or two just finished painting them.

i had one kind of like it on my last jeep. i liked the high up center mount tire for a 33... if it was a bigger tire it would be weird i think.

That said, I would buy that one. They did their homework!! LOL
Still don't like the 150lb cantilever on the back. But at least its out of your way.

I know thats why ive been looking at this one or making one when I get time I have the front bump drawled up with the measurements. I thought about putting it on top but that makes it top heavy and you can tell in the trails.

Get those bumpers installed? I am also thinking about ordering their tire carrier.

Yeah I did, I like them both. Front bumper is real solid. Rear with tire carrier is solid to. Tire has very little bounce with a 33 on it, there was some rattling where the pin goes thru but I fixed that real easy. I don't think you would be disappointed ordering them.

Looks good I didnt get a chance to buy mine yet but it's definitely what I'm going with. The rear bumper just blends in and is tucked well.
