Question for everyone with CBI Bumpers?

[OCMEDIC]

Im at the point where I can afford one of these but man they are expensive, I mean all said and done around $2500. Now I really want a rear bumper with a tire carrier but that is a lot, is it worth it? The only other company I've seen that makes one I'd be interested in is 4x4 labs and they don't seem to have them available right now.

Per the Armor Thread: 4x4Labs, Aluminess, Tactical Armor, and Relentless Fabrication also makes rear bumpers with tire carriers, so you definitely have more choices outside of CBI. But of course, CBI is the most popular and trusted brand for rear bumper/tire carriers.

If you really want one you should get one regardless of what any of us have to say.

That being said I have a custom rear bumper with dual swing-arms. Spare and hi-lift on one side, spare gas, license plate on the other. Honestly I got tired of having to open the swing-arms to open the rear gate and pulled the swing-arms, tossed the spare and hi-lift in the back and like it a lot more. No "cool" factor but it's much more practical IMHO.

Great advice, as this should be the basis for any, "Should I get this, or Buy that" type of thread. :thumb3:
