Default olympic 4x4 rear bumper

hey guys just wanting to get some opinions on the olympic 4x4 rear bumper for the cherokee
i like that it is capable of receiving the tire carrier option and is very well priced i also like the simple design and potential functionality plus the fact that it looks to be well built and strong
i dislike that it doesnt really rap around towards the front at all and is just straight across but i think i could fix that with some minor mods
if anyone has this bumper and the tire carrier with it or just the bumper even id love some opinions on it and anyone that doesnt have it still your opinions are very much appreciated thanks guys
and girls

I have one and will post pics for you.
I love it.

You will have to buy the tire mount it self.
If you have a wrangler you can reuse the mount but with the XJ you need to buy one.
I just recently removed the $60 one they sell and installed one my friend gave me off his rubicon.
I like it better it holds the tire up and in more towards the Jeep.

Rubicon one on left and purchased one on right.

No problem, any time my friend.
Yeah definitely get the JK mount, save some money and its better anyway IMO.
Yeah my hitch is a "Hidden Hitch" and it fits perfect with no issue.
