Not only does it have the strongest mounting system on the market, it's also the easiest to live with. We've seen people struggle to open or close their tire carrier cage and thought, "that's not the way it has to be". Our proprietary dual-stage latching mechanism and "pre-load" design prevent vibration and wobbling to help ensure whether you are on the toughest off road trail or loading gear into the back of your Jeep. Our Rear Bumpers are full width to protect your vulnerable corner panels and tail gates including protrusions below your tail lights. With end plates designed to provide maximum departure angle and clearance, our design prevents you from getting "hung up" on tough trails and sharp, off camber turns. Plus, with oversized tires, rubbing and tire gouging is never a concern. Our rear bumper is finished off with an overhang under your tub for a clean look that also provides a skid surface when reversing over an obstacle. Our rear bumper feature our exclusive frame tie-in's that extend the full length along the sides of your fuel tank. This replaces your factory receiver for the strongest Cherokee rear bumper mounting system on the market.

I have to say, this tire carrier and rear bumper are ROCK HARD. The product is by far what it's meant to be...
This is a solid spare tire carrier. I shopped for a long time before deciding on the Rock Hard setup. They didn't disappoint. I installed it myself in about 3 days of working part time. Note: for my 87 YJ the frame brackets do NOT match the picture on the web site. They must be welded to the frame, not bolted. The upside is you don't have to drop the gas tank to get bolts through the frame. I know this is not the cheapest tire carrier, but I wanted something long term and you pay for what you get. I put a 33x12.50 tire and high lift jack on it and am planning on adding the gas can mounts soon. I'm glad I didn't go cheap!
Is the 2 inch receiver considered a Class III hitch such that trailers, boat, can be pulled? Or is it basically a hitch that you can attach a bike carrier to?
