TJ Oversized Spare Tire Carrier. Which To Buy?
Hello. Can anyone tell me what the best bet is for an oversized spare
tire carrier for my 97 TJ? I have 33x12.5's on 15x10's. I had a spacer
kit for my factory mount but it started to crack my tailgate. I've
looked at the Bestop swing out style that runs about $200 but I just
want to make sure I get the right thing. Does it make as much noise as
my factory mount did? I see that Smittybilt has a new bumper/carrier
combo that's about $500 or so. What's the best bet here? Thanks in
advance.

The thing about the Smittybuilt bumper is they are all on back order 4wheel
parts has several on back order none of them have been delivered yet. Where
are you located then we can help you find a distributor close to you.

I really like my LoD bumper/tire carrier combo. Went on smoothly, works
great, doesn't rattle, and has held up to some abuse on the trail.
