tire carrier suggestions
need a new rear bumper, and i'm wanting to get one with a swing away tire carrier. so far the one I like is from Hanson. but I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions. I also like the tube bumper look so if anyone knows of a tube bumper with a tire carrier let me know.

Well I'm going to be cleaning this bumper off, and then buying this from Detours http://www.detoursusa.com/knucklebone.php. But detours has some other nice stuff on their website. I can't speak for how strong it is yet but.

A ton of good options out there. I'm not a huge fan of the mass produced companies like Hansen. Insanely overpriced if you ask me

I dont' know about tube bumpers, I'm running Tomken Machine Bumper/Swingout tire carrier.. It's stout & works great. If I had to do over, I'd have gone with the Backbone from Detours. I stumbled upon this site after I started my build.... ..
It came with everything, Plate (tag) relocater, and all hardware. I always change over to Grade 8 Bolts (not sure why bumper companies don't supply Grade 8 bolts). I'm happy with it, I just have to finish off the wraparouds after I do a cut & fold.

I think a lot of it depends on how you are going to use/wheel your Jeep. Mine is being built as a DD/mild wheeler so I opted for the Detours Tailbone to keep the stock look. (Still in the box though, haven't had the time to install it yet).

Still a great bumper. I have hit it really hard a lot of times.

I contacted my sales rep for Smittybilt earlier today and asked about their long-awaited rear bumper/tire carrier. He told me that they are due in at the end of July.
