I am about to take my rig out west for a bit. I would love to have a 4x4 labs rear bumper with hitch. I still have my oem one and trailer hitch. I removed receiver due to ground clearance and departure angle issue. My Toyo 305/70 spare now is the problem. It fits nicely and behaves well for highway driving, but offroad, I am certain I could rip it off. for now, the plan is for it to ride 1600 miles tucked away and then stow it in the back when I head up to Engineers Pass and other places. The 4x4 labs appears to be my favorite right now, but I could probably ignore the weight of an ARB and learn to love it too. I have the ARB front winch bumper installed and love the look. So......anyone out there hate their rear bumper with tire carrier and want to go back oem? I am in Georgia.
I don’t think engineer pass will be an issue with your spare underneath the rig. It’s basically a forest service type road. You could run it in your Moms Subaru.

I have been driving it now for 3 years and have not had 1 issue appear other than egr sensor was not happy. I bypassed it with a resistor to keep CEL off. next time I get in the mood, i.may do a an egr block off. I needed the encouragement you gave back 2022
I have been driving it now for 3.5 years and have not had 1 issue appear other than egr sensor was not happy. I bypassed it with a resistor to keep CEL off. next time I get in the mood, i.may do a an egr block off. I needed the encouragement you gave back 2022 and looking back it was a tremendous job, but now worth it.
