Gladiator Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier?

[GreenZJ]

Are these bumpers shipping yet? I haven’t seen one installed on any Jeep yet, aside from JCRs

Looks cool. I wonder how it will be on harsh washboard roads. For 40 miles

We have one of the stiffest (heh) tire carrier systems on the market. We spend a long time making sure of that as we hate watching the tire flop around when hauling butt offroad

Is the tire adjusted tightly against the carrier? Is the spindle nut tight? Can you pinpoint where any movement is happening?

Yes and yes. It’s a front to back motion. Most noticeable on trails or bumps in the road

I put a message in with our engineering team to see what could be up.

Some flex at the tire is going to be normal. We see a little with our 37" tire. If you see a lot, you want to make sure that there is nothing obviously loose (bearings, bolts, etc...) and you want to make sure the tire is tight against the carrier itself. If you shake the tire and can't notice anything in particular moving and the whole system is just flexing a small bit as a unit, that is what you want.

If there is a bunch of movement please send a video to the team here and we can help figure out what's up [email protected]

Does anyone know of other choices? Lead times are pretty long with JCR right now.

My uncle will be needing one soon for his new Gladiator project. He also tried to order from JCR no updates yet on when they will be available. We're planning for a trip next month and will be finishing the installation of the nerf bars and smittybilt armor on the Wrangler.

I seen adapter brackets are available to mount a JL/JK rear bumper on JT "I think on Q-Tec" yesterday. I don't think I seen it posted on this thread. That could be a option.

Alright, we will take a look.

@JcrOffroad
I know this is an old thread…
I don’t see the bumper with swing-out tire carrier on your website. Are you still making it?

 

[JcrOffroad]

The bumper and the carriers are sold separately.
