Heavy Duty Construction
Customers are highly impressed with the heavy duty construction of the product. They describe it as solid, well built, and tank-like. Some even mention the high-end features and great design. However, a small number of customers have reported issues with the handle mechanism or pivot shaft.
Easy Installation
Customers generally have positive feedback regarding the easy installation process of the Smittybilt XRC Black Textured Rear Swing Away for their Jeep Wrangler TJ Rubicon.

Others noted that the hardware could be better labeled in the instructions.
Spare Tire Compatibility
Customers are generally positive about the spare tire compatibility of Smittybilt 76654 XRC Black Textured Rear Swing Away, with most reporting that it fits their 33" tires perfectly and provides room for future tire size increases. Some customers have successfully mounted larger tires on the carrier and appreciate the added weight capacity and convenience of having a spare tire off the tailgate. However, a few customers mentioned minor rattling after off-roading but overall expressed satisfaction with the product.
Secure Fit
Customers generally have positive opinions about the secure fit of Smittybilt 76654 XRC Black Textured Rear Swing Away, with some mentioning that it locks in tight and does not rattle or move during driving.

Adjustable Latch Height
Customers have mixed opinions about the adjustability of the latch height on this Smittybilt rear swing away bumper. While some are pleased with the ability to fine-tune the height, others encountered challenges in getting it to match up properly and required modifications.
Highlights
Quality
This is very solid and was ease to install.
The handle mechanism is well built and one of the best that i’ve seen on the market.
Latches securely, 35” spare tire does not block your view through the back window.
The only thing that could make it better is a built in chase to receive the brake light wiring going back to the tailgate.
Price
The amazon price for this item is a bargain, especially with the free shipping.
Would give it five stars if the price was better.
Shipping
Shipped fast and was exactly what i needed.
It arrived before they said it would and we were very pleased with that!
So the tire carrier i received was just a bit off but the customer service from smittybilt was amazing once they got back with me.
There was some damage to the parts but the seller was very fast about getting new parts shipped
Packaging/appearance
Arrived as advertised and in great shape.
Competitiveness
I bought both the xrc bumper and the swing away tire carrier together.
As far as i'm concerned that's just one less bulb to worry about replacing, but it might be an issue for others.
