i would like to carry a 36 12.5 tsl sx on the back of my runner

i like the idea of a reciever mounter carrier that can hold a tire that large and heavy, and swing down to allow access

ideas??

locations??

pics??

4crawler makes a pretty cool spare tire rack like that.

These are'nt real good pics of mine. I got it from Kennesaw Mountain Accesories. Beautifuly built and not a problem from it at all. BUT BE PREPARED TO WAIT!!!! It took them 8 months to build me a front and rear bumper. I ordered them and had'nt done enough research on the place. It's a very common complaint with them. They have alot of bad stories on them. But maybe the pics will help. If you want better ones let me know. It's a full swing away.

Also CBI makes one that I'm thinking about, since I have no Fab skills or time. I know UKMeyers has one and is pretty happy with it. looks nice to.

If you make one post lots of

hope it helps.

No problem crawlerdan

I tried calling them thursday then realized it was after 5pm CA time. So I don't know what the price is or how long the lead time is?

crawlerdan · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 27, 2007, 04:14:42 PM »

i think that i will most likely end up making one....as i cannot find exactly what i want and all that i can find is rediculasly expensive

After waiting all that time on mine and then actually seeing it. I know I could've made it for a quarter of the price atleast. The worst part would've been fiquring out how to make the swivel. They used nice tapered bearings and a spindle. Looks simple if you locate all the materials.
