Fabtech Spare Tire Mount

[dscowell]

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

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  ;)

This is the route I am going. $15 and the 5th locking lugnut from my set secures it.

*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.

I happen to have a TJ one if anyone is interested.  Traded the TJ a couple weeks ago, forgot to give it to the dealer LOL.  PM if interested.

Remember, there are more KJ ones available than TJ ones, and they are the right bolt pattern

YJ and TJ 1s are identical last i knew.....but I'm not 100% certain

Yes they are.

KJ works, too

How are y'all mounting your TJ/KJ tire carriers? Flat on the bed?

That would be the way to do it
