Poison Spyder's JK Body Mounted Tire Carrier works with the stock rear bumper or just about any aftermarket rear bumper, and can accomodate up to a 40 inch spare tire and accessories. The main tire carrier assembly is made of 1-1/2 inch DOM tubing for strength and great looks. All of the plate steel components are CNC laser cut and brake-formed from 1/8 inch or 3/16 inch steel plate. The hinge and latch assemblies are designed to address common issues inherent in similar tire carriers from other manufacturers. The tire carrier comes with mounting points to add several Rot-Paxâ„¢ fluid packs as well as a Hi-Liftâ„¢ jack.

I did the install myself and it took a good portion of the day. Everything went smoothly until the final adjusting. The parts did not line up as mentioned in the directions and the adjusting devices did not even come close. Before you say "maybe he installed it wrong", I was VERY meticulous. The up and down adjustment was miles off in the down direction. I had to flex/bend the carrier up to get it to line up. I end up doing some modifications to the side to side adjustment to make it fit. There's a different latch than the one shown, so you have to figure it out on your own. It is the best looking tire carrier in my opinion. I dont regret buying it.
Mean looking and efficient. Installation was very easy.

Q: which of these tire carriers mounts the tire the highest? The body mounted carrier or the Rock Brawler bumper, ( not the one that attaches to the tailgate)? Thank you! 2012 jk unlimited Answer this question
