Mine was bad too. Found a guy Local who got rid of his after getting a bumper. Not really sure why he removed his but wasn’t going to ask questions for 70 bucks. Told my mechanic to deal with getting the rusty bolts off to remove the old one. If you’re not jonesing to spend dough on a bumperMy stock spare tire carrier is rusted solid. Probably going to have it cut off with a torch. Mike's BIOR bumper seeks awesome and is within my budget. I don't feel the need for a front bumper yet. So what do you think?

How far does the tire on the rear carrier protrude? I wonder if I'll still fit in my garage with a rear bumper/tire carrier.I've been rocking a BIO rear bumper with factory front for years on my 99 LC. Love it. Mike makes an awesomely stout bumper and it looks great with or without a front to match. Additionally he goes out of his way to support community events for the 100 crowd. Good guy and awesome product. Buy it!

Just ran out to check. My BIO tire sticks out a hair over 15" from the lower part of the upper hatch. My Dissent rear on the 06LX is at about 16, but I think there's some adjustment that could pull that in a touch. The BIO is well adjusted to be about as "tight" as possible. That's a 285/75/16 tire.How far does the tire on the rear carrier protrude? I wonder if I'll still fit in my garage with a rear bumper/tire carrier.
seconded that looks good.I have a dissent rear bumper and factory front with a hidden winch and some square ridged lights. I think it looks great. But, then again, I’m weird.

Is that a fire extinguisher on the outside of your rig?I have a dissent rear bumper and factory front with a hidden winch and some square ridged lights. I think it looks great. But, then again, I’m weird.

It's a CO2 bottle that happened to be red. Last time I exchanged it, they gave me a grey one. Looks better now.Is that a fire extinguisher on the outside of your rig?
Also IMO your rear tire isn't centered in the wheel well
Thanks!seconded that looks good.

Not sure about the rear being centered. Maybe it's the perspective from the photo? You mean fore and aft or up and down?
It will look just as weird as my 100 with a Dissent front bumper and stock rear.
Not as weird as mine with a big ass ARB front and no rear!
My truck looks like a beaver.
He means fore/aft.
It may be the pic making it look moreso, but lifting the truck will rotate the rear axle and in turn, pushes the hub forward a bit. The correction for this, as far as I know, is a set of adjustable or just slightly longer control arms to rock the axle back to center.
I think it looks weird but that's just meBiggest issues from my understanding would be vibrations accelerating uphill or some torque steer. I have replaced all of my rear control arms with adjustables from @TRAIL TAILOR and have none of those issues any longer.
If your truck is driving fine, I wouldn't worry about it.
