Jeep TJ Tire Carrier…Picking the correct one!

We discuss the differences in Jeep TJ tire carriers and what not to buy. When do you need to switch away from the stock carrier and how large a tire can the different manufacturers handle.

I have the smitty built xrc and I don't like the same things that you mentioned, it's the multiple steps to open. I have looked at the Rusty's before and it looks like a much better deal.

I’m looking at the RockHard 4x4 carrier and rear bumper. I just received their Legendary front bumper

Nice

[@denniscampbell4414]

Looks like those are some solid tire carriers.

I have a bumper mounted swing out carrier that I use when I need maximum storage for camping gear. The tire carrier portion is fairly easily removed. I want to build an elevated aluminum platform that sits on top of the wheel wells and up against the back of the front seats when I'm doing day-trip trails.
p.s. the pin that was removed on Harley's TJ also keeps the tire carrier from swinging closed when parked on a slope

I’m going to be building a aluminum platform as well. I need to leave room for one dog so that going to stop me from straddling the wheel wells.
