The two tires are dumb looking. The bumper is ok, but the bright diamond plate looks like ass. I don't like the latches, either.
Two tires are not "dumb" looking. The photos are not so good but in the landscape where the majority of real 4x4 users drive, 2 extras is sometimes needed or ARB wouldn't also offer the same thing. It may be odd looking, but I am tired of people being so judgemental about every little thing that other people are interested in - rather than simply saying something isn't their preference. Or saying nothing at all in fact, who asked "how and why do you hate ____?" No, people were having a discussion on tire carriers.
For those who do like the idea of one of these tire carriers, the Kaymar sill/plate is aluminum and easily painted, or otherwise coated with a bedliner material. I plan to take the wirebrush/grinder to mine and have it coated with bedliner material that will be both non-skid and not so bright. As it comes in slightly polished aluminum, it would accent well on a silver disco or if one had other silver highlights. It's too bright to me otherwise. But it doesn't look like "ass" regardless. I for one like the look of my fianc?s "ass". So, maybe that meant it looks awesome. :rofl:
This bumper is very well crafted and from a distance on it's own, without anything attached, just about perfectly matches the design of the car rather than the fairly non-vehicle specific like the arb unfortunately is.
