Here's the web page for those interested:

However, I think I have seen these before on 'Mud.

I'm not sure I like how far away from the tailgate the tire is...

I have heard they rattle quite bad, but no experience, the price seemed right when I saw it. I don't remember where I saw the review, it seems like cabelas.

Agree on that gap...

Doesn't look like it's going to help your departure angle. In many cases, that's why people try something other than the OEM bumper on the 80. But I can see how it could work for some. Just remember it's back there if your get into the rocks.

My hitch hangs down way too far as it is. Add another 6" back and looks like 2" drop and I'd be dragging everywhere. Guess it'd be ok for a street/beach rig.

i would assume it wasnt really for the wheeling crowd, atleast not anything over mild wheeling

Get creative and cut out your rear cross member, weld that in and triangulate the hitch back to the frame and you've got yourself a cheap back bumper/tire carrier.

That would be cool. Let us know how it goes.

**Nevermind, they're not cheap $707 at 4wheelparts**
