LOD Armor Lite Shorty Front Bumper with Bull Bar and Winch Mount

[JeepLab]

LOD makes 2 options for tire carriers,

one that swings with the tailgate, and the other is for carrying more gear.

Both are cool. I like the look of the back all loaded up with fuel, and other stuff. But I HATE opening the extra gate to get to your gear.

The other side of that, is how heavy your tailgate would be with all that extra stuff.

I'd love to know the real overall weight so we could compare it to AEV and others to see how much lighter it really is.

I'm with you. 100% swing with door on my jeep. I'm in and out of the back door all the time. When I'm shopping rear bumpers, I first make sure it will hold a 37, then I make sure it opens with the door. Everything else is tertiary.
