So let me preface this with a story about the TJ Rubicon I used to own. I drove this particular Jeep until it started to fall apart just north of 100,000 miles. I was in my early 20's and enlisted in the military so I was poor and never upgraded my spare once I could afford a lift and tires. So yes, even though I had the original spare on the entire time I owned this Jeep I never had an issue with the hinge, it was the tailgate that began to crack and fall apart. Ultimately, I decided to get rid of it before I had to do any repairs.
Fast forward to today and I am getting into another Jeep. I have had a 2021 JLR on order since late July and decided on 37" tires. I have been scouring this forum for the past couple of days trying to find a tire carrier and the consensus seems to be Rusty's. Now I am sure that is an excellent product, however past experiences tell me to avoid putting additional weight on a tailgate if possible.
So here is what I am looking for in a bumper with tire carrier:
-Camera Mount
-License Plate mount/bracket (lighted preferred)
-Holes to install OE backup sensors
-Maintain factory trailer hitch and electrical
-Single-Action (One handed use)
Advice and suggestions are appreciated and pics are plus!
