I would like to get a new rear bumper for my 2001 Tacoma DC but can't decide if I need the swing-out tire carrier add on. The bumper I am considering is the CBI Outback.
From what I can see the following are the pros and cons associated with an aftermarket swing-out tire carrier:
Pros: Easier access to spare, place to attach things like maxtrax or trasharoo, looks cool
Cons: Additional weight (up higher and farther back - will probably have to get an add-a-leaf for my Dakar springs), cost
For those that have them, what are your opinions? Is it really that more convenient?
