Mounting options for spare tire (RRC)

[junkyarddisco]

man this thing is a space hog

anyone familiar with something (similar to this, http://www.ultimatejeepstore.com/Olympic-Tire-Swing-for-Jeep-XJ-Cherokee-p-369.html) that will work on a RRC?

Best I've seen are aftermarket bumpers with tire carriers. Denny Doler and one other recent guy had options for tire carriers.

I've seen one on the Roxtar page... never seen one in person but it's there.

Who built that?

I have one of those on order...www.Bottorf-fabrication.com

Who built that?

I built it for a customer. He wanted to retain the bumper he had (SG I believe). It served his purpose and was very functional. Just added the tire custom carrier.

Here's what I'm running on my truck. Yedor fab built it.

And the customer digs it!

No rattles on the tarmac or washboard roads, even with a 35" tire I can see out the back window reasonably well.

For those that have their spare mounted on a carrier on the back bumper, how is the rear visibility???

 

[greenramp]

Mines pretty much the same as Thor's for an odd reason. "reasonably well"

Mine is on a D2 but my visibility is good considering (35's). I'll also be building one for my new LWB.

That 95 on the Roxtar page is mine. I have the prototype. I love it! Great clearance. It only blocks the 3rd brake light. I have a small led that I am mounting later.

Tube bumpers look absolutely terrible in most cases, and that looks to be one of them. To each his own I guess...

Wow, seeing through the ladder, jerry can, high lift jack and a spare!

I guess i will go with a rear mounted spare!! We do loose to much valuable space in the boot!! My other thought was to have a quarter roof rack and mount the spare on top. though I prefer the rear mounted option.

Thanks
