Swing Arm Tire Carrier Reviews Help Please

[GordoSmasho]

I run the crok. Love it. I'm welding on the carrier mounts though. They shift a bit per the suddested mounting method causing the arm to sag(as mentioned above). I don't have a problem with the pin though. I usually keep a film of grease on it though.
Keeps the spare up nice and high. I don't think Ive ever dragged the spare. Those are 35" bfgs 3.5" lift for reference.

Lots of people have it, and lots of people swear by it. Other than rigidco, that was the only other bumper I considered. Went rigid because I have a rigid front, but would have been equally happy with dirt bound.

Does anybody have any more input on the AJ's Armor bumper? I like it because it has the protection for the rear quarter panel chop I will do.

I went to the 4 Wheel Parts show in Denver last weekend and saw a Smittybilt XCR bumper for the XJ which didnt look too bad. It looked like it might stick out from the rear of the gate a little much, but looked solid. Anyone have one that could send some pictures my way please?

its the 76851 bumper with tire carrier.

^^That rear bumper looks like it's designed for a freegin 1 ton truck. Way too bulky for my liking.
