I’ve watched some videos about installing the SRC without dropping the furl tank.
I like the SRC because it’s hitch receiver is rated for towing, which many competitors are not.
Thanks to everyone who provided helpful input to my decision.

I have a 97 Tj, and the time has come to mount a swing out carrier before the 33” spare w/steel wheel damages the tailgate…. Plus I want to mount some jerrycans back there. Definitely too heavy for the stock tailgate.
Was looking at the Smitybilt XRC but everything I’ve read says you have to drop the fuel tank on a TJ to drill some holes. Nope, that’s a no-go.
So.
Suggestions for alternatives? Price isn’t a critical factor but paying less is better than paying more everything else being equal.
…or, it it possible to mount the XRC w/o dropping the tank?
