Hey all,
Just looking for some input on a good tire carrier for a YJ. I'm on my second set of hinges, and 3rd tailgate now, and I'd rather not replace them again. So, I'm looking for something beefy.
I am looking at the Rock Hard, Body Armor 4x4, Protofab 4x4 , and Hanson models. The Hanson being the noticably most expensive, but with additional frame tie-in brackets and some nice options to expand (racks, etc.).
The Protofab 4x4 is a beefy bumper, but, comes unfinished. It does come with a nice frame tie-in bracket...but, has to be modified to clear the leaf spring shackles.
The Body Armor 4x4 seems to have good reviews, but I am unsure of the frame tie-ins, can fit jerry gas cans as is, but probably sticks out too far to be practicle....
The Rock Hard 4x4 seems to be well reviwed, has good options for frame tie-ins, good expansion options, and a heck of a lot cheaper than the Hanson.
Any thoughts / general advice on these or other models? As NONE of them are exactly cheap, any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated!
