Fully loaded and incredibly strong, the Patriot Series Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier RH-90301 retains every single factory option moved to a 1/4" thick steel armor upgrade.

Construction
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.

The secret to our tire carrier's success is our in house designed and constructed serviceable hub assembly. Instead of a single bearing we use dual tapered bearings for smooth and consistently reliable operation. Our dual-stage latch operates just like a car door with a safety catch to prevent accidental swing gate opening. Operation is effortless.

Installation


Options
Longer off road excursions require more cargo and fuel. Our design is the perfect platform for accessories. Our optional heavy duty driver and passenger side Tank Mounts and Cargo Rack bolt on to our tire carrier to give you space you need for extended range or duration trips.

Why don't you offer recessed lighting like some other brands?
Rock Hard 4x4 parts must work as good as they look and in the real world the reverse lighting solutions offered by other brands don't function very well at all. When reversing, you don't need lighting straight back - you need lighting back and to the sides to help guide you in the dark. That's why we don't lock you into a poor solution that's in reality a gimmicky solution. Instead, we suggest you mount your choice of back up lights to the top of our bumper, on the sides, and aim them at angles.
