Hi, how do you like the tire carrier? I’m still debating between this and JCR. Did you order the back up camera relocation bracket as well? Thanks.

I havn't hung the spare yet .... Really need too just moved houses and playing catch up on jeep projects. i just saw the JCR the other day. don't know how i like there latching system. and they ditch the factory hitch and im not a huge fan of that.

I like mine really well. The latches on the bumper are much stronger than what JCR offers. And rattle free with a 37" tire. And it's a single piece bumper.

Awesome, pull the trigger yesterday. How is the install? Do you have any photos with the wheels on and is the camera relocation bracket works? Thank you

The install was easy just follow the instructions. I did get help to mount the bumper as it's one piece and hard to maneuver alone.

I got the camera bracket and i hate it ill have to remake it it doesnt fit the camera

Old thread but was wondering if the OP had any reviews after a few years of use.

It’s trash. Both latches and hinges are worn out. Had to add metal back to a hinge pin. 10k miles of minimal use and it’s hammer dog shit. Powered coat started flaking off the second month.

do not buy it I hate it

Well crap! Not what I wanted to hear nor what I expected! What a bummer but thank you for the intel.

Did you contact Expedition One about the issues? It sounds like a failed heat treat on the affected parts.

Yes

basiclly i didn't buy a powerdercoat warranty so there wasn't anything you could do (it was past a year anyway)

and moving parts wear out and will need to be serviced and offered to sell me a latch service kit.

there were nice and polite and professional i just don't understand how a latch pivot wears out so fast i don't really want to be replacing my latches ever other year

Yeah, that seems a tad excessive.
