dscowell Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I was thinking about picking up Fabtech's spare tire mount and was curious as to if anyone has any experience with one of these and their opinion on it. From reading the reviews it sounds like the only down fall is the bolts it comes with are too small which is no big deal sense new bolts only cost around $2 http://www.amazon.com/Fabtech-FTT10002BK-Angled-Spare-Mount/dp/B000CMD3HI#productDetails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Wow for that kinda money id just find an OEM YJ/TJ Rear carrier, bolt in in your bed and use the rest of the cash to buy a spare tire/wheel to store there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 *since*, not *sense*. And that is a worthless mount. Maybe it's constructed well, maybe it's not. but everyone I know who has had a Baja style mount (including me) has hated them after awhile. It would take an hour for a mediocre welder to make. But it just takes too much space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traded the TJ a couple weeks ago, forgot to give it to the dealer LOL. PM if interested. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Remember, there are more KJ ones available than TJ ones, and they are the right bolt pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjy_26 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 How are y'all mounting your TJ/KJ tire carriers? Flat on the bed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 That would be the way to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
