I finally got around to installing the rear bumper and tire carrier. I've seen a few people ask about it so I figured I'd post my pics.
Before:


After:



I've since adjusted the tire so it's seated a little closer to the hatch and not at such an angle and the rotopax so they aren't crooked.
The instructions were pretty basic. I spent some time just trying to figure out what parts went where and how. I got the setup unpainted so I primered it and painted it with spray on bedliner. I didn't like having the license plate on the spare itself so I drilled a hole and temporarily mounted it on the bumper. Later on I plan on modifying the included bracket, drilling another hole, and wiring the light up properly. This thing is BEEFY and very well constructed. We'll see how it holds up after a few trips.
