After you put some big tires on your Jeep, you'll notice that the original spot you store the spare (on the rear tailgate) just can't handle it anymore. In fact even something as small as a 31" tire has trouble fitting. You can try moving the rear tail light, or just let your tailgate sag under the weight, but the real way to fix this issue is by installing a new rear tailgate that's designed to hold the weight of your new spare tire.
Everyone knows that if you upgrade the rear tailgate, you're going to need a slick new rock bumper to balance your Wrangler out! A new front bumper will let you play on the rocks without worrying about tearing up your ride, plus it will allow you to mount a winch (as long as you get a bumper that can accommodate a winch).
