That’s a monster tire carrier! When I built the Jeep bumpers, I anticipated for the 35s and even that takes a ton of effort to get on and off. But yours makes ours look easy! 😂
Good deal! Just keep in mind that you may not find the carrier the best from your point of view, now imagine you're doing a tire change with 80 -120 pounds of full battle rattle on. Also the size of the driver. Not all soldiers are 6 foot tall or 200 pounds. We also have to use ground guides not a rear view mirror. Your rig is coming along really nicely. Keep it up.
Thank you. That’s a great point. We are just coming off a mountain trail now and the spare was not an issue. I crawled for miles on rocks and was glad I had it in case we popped a tire.
I got sooooo lucky. Got it through a really nice guy I met at a car show that had picked it up years ago and never used it. He lost the pivot bolt and bushings but nothing I couldn’t still buy new. I also just installed a Auto-Vox T9 pro dash cam/back up mirror cam that solved all my viewing issues out the rear view mirror. Look for a video on that soon. Super easy to install and set up.

Yep - but it still takes 20 minutes just to get it off and on the rack.
I'm going to go check the dates on all my tires. Good video.
Good to check and know! How is your roof sealing project going?

Where’d you get one?
