The bumper is very solid and looks good. As said before, there is little room for accessories, I did have enough to put hi-lift jack mounts on though. The spare tire carrier, even when lube excessively, is a pain to swing out of the way. It's not impossible, it is just a two handed job. |

Fixed powder coating |

It seams warn fixed their little powder coating issue. I have had mine for a few months and it works great. Super strong and rattle free. I did a lot of research before buying a tire carrier and for the price and strength warn is the best. The only thing it is missing is can and high lift carriers but those can always be welded on. Also I filled the voids in the bumper with foam spray so they can't fill up with mud and water. Some retailers will part out the bumper and carrier separetly so you can get the bumper 1st then add the carrier when you can afford it. Nice for poor dirtbag jeepers... |

Poor Powdercoating |

The bumper looks good and functionality is as expected. The powdercoating however is really poor - it chips off at the edges, allowing the bumper to show bare metal. The tire carrier is sagging since day one with only a 33" Spare on it. You always have to lift the carrier up onto the plastic pad and give it a good kick to latch.

The bumper is great...holds up to abuse and looks good. The tire carrier is strong and functional. But there is no convenient way to mount accessories to it: i.e. HiJack, shovel, etc. |

Good Bumper - needs more accessories. |

I love my Warn Rear Bumper and will be getting the Tire Carrier for it in the Future. Ok. No paint flaking - none at all so far @ 3 years. I painted Rust-o-leum Flat Black and lubed the Post used to mount the Tire Carrier as it was bare metal and started rusting as soon as I stepped outside. I was rearended shortly after getting this bumper - zero damage to my Jeep lots of plastic on the ground from the Full Sized Pickup that didn't stop. It has a CB Antenna Hole - and that's it. I wish the Tire Carrier had accessories for Jerry Cans, Hi Lift, Third Brake Light, and other cargo. It is limited compared to other Tire Carriers - but it is strong and heavy as all get out. |

Love the way it looks that is the main reason I bought it. The pivot for the swing out should have a bearing instead of metal to metal but with grease every now and then it works just fine. And I do tow a trailer with mine and it grosses out at 2100lbs. Very strong bumber. Pricey but looks so good. |

Great bumper. Very solid.
The only negative thing I have found was that the receiver is met to only take in 2" receivers made by WARN. Im sure this is a safely/liability thing b/c the bumper is not tow rated. I had to machine down the receiver I bought (just a small portion) in order for it to fit.
Other than that, very happy with it. I dont have a WARN tire carrier. |

i have both the front and rear warn bumpers. they are well built, have a cute little 'W' laser cut into them and do what they are supposed to do, which is protect your jeep. i really only have one issue with them and that is the powder coating. it is simply terrible and started flaking off after only six months (i've had them for three years now and they need to be redone...). |

The overall construction of the tire carrier and bumper is very nice. Its solid, as I've found out by dropping it on some solid rocks and chipped the powder coating. However, the piece of metal that extends from the carrier that keeps the tailgate from rattling bent...not really sure how.
Also, Warn could do a better job on the powder coating. It flaked off in quite a few areas and is annoying but easily touched up.
Otherwise, its a great bumper/tire carrier combo. I would buy it again. |
