Not a fan of the rear mounted tire, but the rest of the truck is sharp. Then again, it doesn't matter what any of us think. If you like it, then its cool. Best.

Do you figure the receiver is rated for towing the factory 7500lbs?
Love the bumper, but tow very frequently

Not a fan of spare tire carriers on trucks.....its i just weird to me.

As far as spare tire carriers go it looks nice. I need to build one soon for my other rig I'm building, so always enjoy the ideas.:thumbsup:. Besides needs to have room for a 40 :sunglasses:

I honestly don't know the answer to this question... I'm sure it's going to be as good as anything else on the market we just haven't done the testing on this yet.. Sorry for the non answer....

I like the rear tire mount and the bumper. I hated off road vehicles that had the spare mounted underneath the truck.

When you finish this project up, make a winch mount bumper that accepts adaptive cruise to match and I'll take both :thumbsup:. Cant tell from the pic but is the side bar useable as a step? Would there be a way to dismount the swing outs for daily driving and put them on when needed?

What do you do with the electronic hookups for the tow package? Is there a slot for those?

I personally love this set-up, reminds me of my Bronco!
I didn't vote in the poll because it doesn't matter whether I or anyone else likes it, it only matters that you like it. I assume you put the spare there because it wouldn't fit under the truck. I have owned both a FJ40 and a Jeep Rubicon with the spare on the rear. If you are out in the boonies and need your spare, having it on the rear is much better than underneath. The drawback is that the spare can hinder your rear view.

Great setup, one question...the backup camera appears to be covered, is there a mod for it? Thanks

Nope. Dont like it. The Ranger as is, is really not meant for this set up. Its like the little kid, trying to hang out with the bigger ones by being something its not. If you have a specific purpose for it, then be happy. But if its just to drive around as a billboard "Look at me, Look at me", then I think its a waste of money and effort. Certainly doesnt add value to the truck, just because its a rare modification.

It looks fine if you were in the serengeti on a safari.
