Great choice on the Warn bumper and Tire Carrier. It's on my wish list when I get to that point in my build. Thanks for the step by step. You do a good job of explaining the install and the little details like the wires being too short.
Thank you. I really like it so far.
Great channel and I really enjoy your vids. In many ways it inspired me. In fact, I just went out and purchased 2020 Manual Transmission JL last weekend.
Just recently found this channel but it has already become one of my favorite Jeep related channels! Love your vids man
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment and let me know.
I run a 37" tire with the Mopar reinforcement and oversize tire carrier bracket with no problems. You could not do that with a JK, but the JL they used magnesium for the rear door interior to make it stronger and lighter weight. Good video.
Great looking bumper. Clean snug fit. Excellent add on.
Looks great 👍. Can't wait to see the rest of your mods to the ecodiesel.
Thanks
@@Casey250 I think you ment to say once you put on aftermarket wheels with "less"(not more) backspace the camera wire will have plenty of length.
Thanks for the vid. Thinking of upgrading our rear bumper due to some bumper dragging we did. We have the Elite front and this would be a perfect match for the rear.
I like the bumper.i got the full length look. I've been waiting forever for AEV to come out with theirs.
Looks good I like how the bumper mounts to the Jeep and where the license plate is moved
Hey, thanks for the video. I just installed mine last night. I ended up taking an angle grinder to my OEM tire carrier and cut the camera housing out of it. I cleaned up the edges and painted the bare metal and was able to place it back over the camera. If you have a thick wheel your studs may not be long enough to do this, but now I have some protection back over my camera, which is very hand when trying to lift a 100+ lb spare back up onto a lifted Jeep.
I think I am going to grab a metal cloak license plate relocation bracket that has the camera in it
Looks so good mate, really like how it’s a simple bolt on part that look factory but way better. Great work mate
Ya man it's tidy.
I’ll wait and see the review from the trail.
Thanks for a great video as this is the bumper I was going to get but was wanted to se how it looked. Like you I wanted it to extend and meet up with the fenders
Awesome vid as usual Casey, would love to follow you on some trails sometime.
I really like that tire carrier-- so much better than just a tailgate hinge reinforcement.
I had an AEV carrier on my JK which was very similar. While very nice, it definitely would require fairly frequent adjustments to keep it snug against the body otherwise it would start rattling and squeaking.
Keep up the good work bro! Hope to buy a JL Ecodiesel in the future.
Thx! I hope you do too!
Looks good! Looking forward to seeing the 37's on there.
Soon.
Looks great 👍
I like the fact that it has the safety chain attachment points. Most of the aftermarket bumpers TJ/LJ do not include.
Great Choice!
I've enjoyed your videos. I'm super OCD. I like the tire carrier mod! Line up the Jeep symbol on the rim so it is at the top or bottom; would look cool IMO. Getting ready to buy a 2022 Ecodiesel Wrangler; my 2nd Jeep since my 1977 CJ7.
That is going on my JL!
Great video
Thank you.
That intro with the fast cuts was amazing
Thx!
Loving your videos Casey! BTW, your link to the tire carrier is bad. Can't seem to find it on Amazon.
Cool video once again
Looks like it's time for a power tool sponsor eh!
Haha. Maybe one day!
You can reuse the factor camera cover/plate. Just cut everything that was behind the stud stock plate off, then mount the plastic and aluminum camera housing on the stud plate between the warn mounting surface and your spare. The stock aluminum plate/camera cover takes us about 1/4" of stud threads.
I was wondering if might be able to be used with a wheel with more backspacing and then the stinger can push out more from the wheel.
Looks great! Love the plug and play type mods ! Are there many Acc. Options for the bumper, like fuel storage mounts?
Yes. You can get a high lift and rotopax mount.
Nice job. Would like to see you take down the top just for fun.
Ya i should figure out how lol.
It’s very nice Mod looks like it could’ve been factory.
How did you get an ecodiesel wrangler in bc when I work for Chrysler and we haven't gotten any ecodiesel wranglers yet.
I like but the only negative is it seems to block the passenger taillight. I’m going to install the Smittybilt HD which I have to relocated the 3rd brake light. Overall great video and I love the rigg!!!
Thx. I never much thought of the tail light covering to be an issue but many have pointed it out. The LOD bumper mounted carrier was mu second option and doesn't block the light.
I like that you added a frame mounted tire carrier . . . any particular reason for the full width bumper as opposed to a shorty? I'd be interested to know what the weight difference the new bumper/tire carrier added over the stock bumper. I'm anxiously watching you're build while my EcoDiesel order waits for the assembly line to re-open . . .
I guess it could be considered more of a frame mount. I went full width because its legal and wanted to see how it did with larger tires, but I also don't see any reason I cannot remove the bumper and run this carrier on the frame rails and add a couple tow hooks for a really minimal setup ;) As for weight the bumper felt similar to the stock steel, so the added weight would mostly be from the arm.
Clean upgrades! How about flat fender kit of any sort down the road so you dont need a huge expensive lift?
Maybe but I'll still need a lift.
Good video. Some things to know: The socket size called out in the video is too small. Its a standard size, not metric, and its bigger. I forget the real size at this point. The design of this bumper is pretty good but def. not perfect. It rattles in two places. There is way too much "play" around the thick rubber washers on that small adjustable arm, and it rattles like crazy, so I stacked up a bunch of washers around it to make it tight. That worked well. The worst noises were coming from where the spare tire post goes into the square receiver. It has a bolt you tighten down to hold it but that is way too small, and there's too much slop, kind of like all trailer hitches. So, I put cold shrink around the square tube and that make things super tight, and now it does not make noise. Finally there's the camera. This kit pretty much leaves out a decent provision for the camera, so I just made my own with parts from my other spare tire carrier and cold shrink again. I am happy overall with the bumper however. It looks great, and the people I know who have other brands have noise issues as well.
Casey can you please elaborate on the parking sensors? Did not see any part of your video that covered that part of the installation. That would be very helpful. If you’re not running sensors. That would be good to know as well. This is the only video on this bumper install. Wished it was a little more detail.
I dont have parking sensors.
Looks like the the tire carrier covers part of the right taillight. I’d get pulled over in my state. But I like it. Real solid. Typical Warn quality. How heavy is it?
Really eh? The bumper seems about the same as factory stock and the swing arm wasn't too bad maybe 40 or 50lbs.
Looks Awesome, I appreciate the integrated look that doesn't make it seem out of place.
What was with the tailgate to carrier link on the carrier side? Looked like there was a lot of play up and down and you had to really bend the bracket to get it snuggled up?
It moves around as you up and close the door. It needs to only be snug when closed.
Are you sponsored or????? Where do u get the $$$$$ holy moly! U must have a good job buds!
I bought the rear bumper and it is great. Sadly, I did not go for the tire carrier because it does block the right tail light, little things can be so irritating knowing that WARN engineers didn’t count for it!!
Ya it is a design issue for some people ive hears.
Looking for long term test for squeaks, loose bolts. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Me too!
Once you put the wheels and tires on, I think throwing some highline fenders on would make it look bad-ass
Probably sticking with stock fenders until i see a need to upgrade them.
@@Casey250 yea it's for stock fenders, its like the slimmer daytime led strip , so you get more wheel well tire clearance
Looks great where did you get your Jeep garbage can in your garage it matches my Punk'n orange JL.
Bought it at a Jeepapalooza here on the island a few years ago. Local artist was making them.
@@Casey250 Thanks I live in Courtenay have to get 1.
Good stuff! I’m curious what other bumper tire carriers you considered & why you ended up choosing this one?
Lod was the other option. The warn one requires no drilling at all. I could also take the bumper off and leave this carrier on the frame for an ultra minimal setup.
Casey 250 Sounds like a winner!
Hey Casey, I am planning on ordering the Warn rear bumper with the spare bumper mount. How do you like it? I have rear sensors so I was wondering if you had them on your rig? Any issue or concerns? I am getting the lift and putting 37's on my diesel. I have been waiting for the AEV rear bumper, but after saying it was going to be release in August and once again they failed to release it I have decided to spend my money on a Warn Bumper.
Thanks!
No complaints. I really like it. No squeeks or rattles. It has holes for sensors (I dont have sensors so I can't speak to how well they work). I would recommend not putting the license plate on the side and get an alternate mount for in the middle of the spare tire as my plate hit my body and scratched it but the mount is removable. I also prefer the plate on the spare tire.
Any issues with departure angles on this bumper or are they same as factory?
Better then factory and less hanging down.
I have an eco diesel without a hitch, and am looking at either trying to find a rear bumper that has a class III hitch, or installing a stand alone hitch (I.e.- uhaul or curt), what would you recommend?
Is it a wrangler? If so it isn't rated to tow what a class 3 hitch can tow. Max towing is 3500lbs which is class 2.
@@Casey250 Yes. It is a wrangler JLUR eco diesel. I’ll look for class II. Do you have any you rear bumpers would recommend? I’m looking to upgrade to steel, and am new to the wrangler world.
Hey Casey, so you are coming up on a year with this install, do you still like it? any cons?
I did a mods review back in december. It has held up well, other then the license plate bracket hits my corner panel and has scratched the paint.
How was it putting on the backup sensors?
I don't have those
Might be an early question. What kind of oil are you going to run? Lots of controversy on the types. Just curious to get some input I have the 2020 ram 1500 Ecodiesel. I found The 5w40 Pennzoil Euro today on sale at Canadian Tire for 39.99 but still Not sure.
Havent event thought of that yet.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts when you do!!
Looks good.. Any idea how heavy that monster is compared to stock steel?
Bumper is similar to my steel stock. Carrier arm is maybe 50lbs or so.
This bumper is way heavier than the stock bumper. Nearly 100 pounds more. Not sure where Casey got his 50 pound from. But way more than stock.
To me , I don’t think it looks OeM , the only company that makes OEM looking products is AEV . Great job tho I love The channel and enjoy all Jeep videos but I’m gonna wait to AEV releases there JL product line bumpers. I had them on my JKRU 5.7L hemi black ops edition. I sold it to get the new JLRU and I miss the power of a hemi but the gas mileage on the newer model wranglers is great compared to previous models.
Aev makes real nice gear too from what ive seen. I make these types of videos to show off a mod and hopefully you guys either like it and buy it or learn you don't like it and don't waste your money 👊👊 Wait till you see the video I just made with the diesel fuel economy!
Does this bumper work with Park Sense sensors in the rear?
Great question. I did not see him do any of the removal of the wiring harness from the factory bumper. There did not appear to be any installation brackets available for the parking sensors. Holes are drilled in the bumper. But no way to mount the sensors. Hopefully Casey will respond to this question???
@@TrailAdventuresTV @mpk3055 We have this same carrier and had to order factory bezels to snap into the bumper for the sensors. But they all fit and work, we had the factory plastic bumper. Not sure if it would've been different off from the factory steel.
Hate that it blocks one rear light ocd says no
I never really noticed it until a few of you guys mentioned it!LOL
Casey, any rattles?
Its really tight, none so far. Most reviews ive seen say it never rattles. I'll put it through the tests and do a 6 mth review with big tires.
Dude, , 37"s or 40"s and lift kit, may not have enough roof clearance to clear the garage door.
It lives outside side anywyays.
Looks like the carrier arm partially obstructs the back right brake light.
Ya, the bumper and carrier look great, but partially covering the right brake lite might be an issue with the highway patrol. They can be a bit fussy about that sort of stuff here in AZ
If I am being pulled over and the officer is worried about my tire carrier very moderately obstructing my tail light from certain angles on my Jeep modified to run 37s or 40s then this carrier is going to be the least of my worries.
COULD THE TIRE CARRIER BE RAN WITHOUT THE BUMPER?
no, not this one.
Looks great 👍
Thanks.
