Thank you for the help/advise in advance. I have done some searching and not much has showed up in regards to this rear bumper/tire carrier that Extreme Terrain sells for $349. I want to make sure it's not going to rattle and see if anyone has experience with the build/finish quality. I checked out the Barricade for a few bucks more, but it looks too boxy/stick out kind of far on each side in my opinion. Is there another carrier in this approximate range that I should look into? A link below to the product, thank again.

the pin handle/release for that bumper is prone to rattle. i have the Smittybilt and it does rattle quite a bit. for what its worth.

In that case I may reconsider. That doesn't sound too appealing, is there a way to fix the rattling? Thanks

Don't have any experience with the red rock, but i did buy a barricaid which i will be switching out at some point. All these Chinese made bumpers have their issues, mostly in the workmanship category. I can only imagine what the red rock is like if it is cheaper than the Barricaid.

Here's a review i did on the barricaid: http://www.wranglerforum.com/f282/barricade-rear-bumper-review-971113.html

Great review, thanks for the insight. What's the next best option without breaking the bank? I've seen a bunch threads on the eauto-grilles, that must be similar Chinese qualify correct? I also didn't like the width/style of that setup. Appreciate the help.

I've never had one, but i've seen several positive comments about dirtworks bumpers on the forum over the past few years. Dirtworx Off-Road Fabrication
If i didn't have recessed rear tail lights on mine, i would get an or-fab tire carrier, and separate rear bumper. http://orfab.com/applications.php?Application=Jeep&Category=Carriers&Active=Yes

I second the dirtworx. I have it and it doesn't really rattle even with a 33 on it. Here's my dirtworx bumper.
