  • [Rear Bumper] LOD Shorty Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier with Trail Rack and Gerry Can Holders



    I've had a few people asking if a 40" tire will fit the LOD tire carrier. the answer is YES. This day I was taking measurements of the tuffy security deck for another question (15" at its lowest from the bottom of the lid to the top of the "trunk lid" and 15 1/2" to the floor) and I went ahead and installed the hi-lift jack, trail rack, and gerry can holders.

    Here are the pics of the installs:


    LOD Gerry Can Holder with Spacer (needed for tires over 37")




    60" Hi-Lift jack installed (i used grade 8 9/16th bolts that were 2" long and a couple washers)




    one of the gerry can holders installed




    both holders and trail rack installed






    you can see i do not need the hi-lift isolator to keep it from rattling. the trail rack put enough pressue on the handle to keep it very snug




    all closed up and ready for the tire




    shots of the damage my speaker box did 4th of July 2008 after a jump tossed it into the air and slammed back onto the tail gate. 2nd pic shows how the gate sheet metal buckled a little bit. with the hard top on you could put you arm in the hole before we pulled most of the bent metal back out.








    Tuffy Security Deck. one of my most favorite mods




    Tire installed




    lots of room from the top of the tire to the trail rack






    rear view




    space between tire and gerry can holder - this is with my 39" tire. there is room for a 40" but i dont think a 42" would fit







    3rd brake light clearance




    finished for now







    I do not have this anymore. I got tired of it smacking on rocks while coming off of waterfalls. It would shake and rattle the Jeep. Instead I now have the Poison Spyder Custom BFH Rear Bumper and adapted their TJ Tire Carrier to work on my JK. Works great and no more smacking and dragging it over waterfalls!!!

    I did not like my LoD rear bumper because of of the departure angle, weight, and the powder coating.

      agreed, I don't like it since there are less expensive bumpers out there that do the same.
      the departure angle was bad for the wheeling I do. for around town and mining trails, it would be great. but when you get into the big rocks and hit a lot of drop offs and steep grades, this is not the bumper for you
