Muncher Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Looking for what people have made for swing out tire carriers. Was thinking of doing a filthy addictions one but the lead time is 8+ weeks which kinda sucks. Could weld one on my bumper but it does not offer protection like I want it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 how much to you like glancing in the mirror and seeing directly behind you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 You’ll lose some departure angle too. I’d carry a plug kit and a little battery air compressor for daily driving and strap a spare in the bed for roadtrips and wheeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I strapped mine down differently for my trip out to Moab just because of that. tilt your mirror up and see how often you glance at it. might surprise you. bolted in place: ratchet strapped horizontal: personally I like the idea of the tire being in the bed upright, right behind the driver. takes up a bit of bedspace, but completely out of view. tire swings can rattle/loosen up, if you build your own, be picky about the hardware you choose.

Htchevyii Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Body Armor 4x4 carrier for a Tacoma mounted to a home made bumper. I wouldn't purchase from them again, some welds had zero penetration and cracked. They gave me the run around and said that the vendor had to file a claim. The Vendor was Amazon, so I just fixed it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
