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

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.

nice runner man...and im not waiting 8 months...ill probably make one

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.

thanks wermy

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]

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

[attitude of gratitude]

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.

I found this one. The price isn't to bad.

I was looking at that one as well.  but i'm not certain that it would work with my MC rear bumper. 

[Tallchevy]

I think the tire sits too low & too far away from the back of the vehicle 

[Wermz84]

I actually thought the same thing.     plus is would seem that it has less ground clearance.

[crawlerdan]

lookie!!!!

lookie!!!!

Damn, I really like that idea. Going to see if I can fab something up like that for my MC rear bumper. doesnt seem to stick too far out either

[Tallchevy]

Looks good crawlerdan
