In the market for one and all i have seen that appear decent is JCR and TOmken. That are under a grand mind you. Anyone got a better place.

Link or pic please. Tired of trying to surf on this dang phone.
Look at Hudfab in the vendor section. Affordable and beef.

Are you looking mainly for the tire carrier or are you set on a new rear bumper too? if you mainly want the carrier look into Detours Tailbone set up. It's a great product.

Otherwise, if it's the whole setup you want, JCR or Hudfab.

It's on temp hold right now (I think it's for a slight redesign - don't quote me though), but if you call them and talk with mark he can let you know the status.

You could get the full Detours slimline with carrier for about $900.

http://www.detoursusa.com/xjbumper.php

I got one in 2008. What had me sold was the extended coverage over the quarter panels and the carrier being out on the end instead of on top with the hinge/barrel over the tail light on one side.

After 4 years of having it, my issues have been hitting the carrier and the handle that holds it onto the bumper on the ground kind of a lot. It also recently had to be rewelded on recently, as I dug the carrier so hard into the ground that it was supporting a lot of the Jeep's weight and cracked it off soon after.

That being said, it is a solid bumper and is really well made.
