Yet another tire carrier.......

[rocky]

Yup....Just when I'm part way through rebuilding an existing carrier, comes this one.....which looks pretty good at first glance. Anything that puts 100% of the weight on the cross member is a win imho https://www.ore4x4.co.uk/product-page/ore-spare-wheel-carrier-black

those are nice. Tirsbaek has a good review. ORE quoted me 50gpb for ship.

I wish they made a version that work with drop-down tailgates

Napalm--there is an amazing one if you have the cash for that application. Stainless steel and all... https://www.4x4overlander.com/product/nakatanenga-stainless-wheel-carrier-pickups-bpc/

This is on my project to-do list as well.

I have that latch system on mine, but doesn’t secure the carrier as well as needed. Our hope is that this one is going to secure the carrier better https://www.4xinnovations.com/Swing-Out-Tire-Carrier-Latch-Assembly_p_110.html

I have one of those spring loaded pins on mine— replaced it three times, frozen solid. They always rust inside. The oring sealing suck. I won’t install another unless I find a stainless one or redesign the sealing mechanism.

what I love about the Nakatanenga is the closing latch. Ditto on Icon 2-arm carriers. That is the other part I’m missing. I used the typical pull latch— works fine, just no swagger...

I have this one, and it is expensive, but solid as hell, and really nice.

Nice truck! Can you take a pic of their latch for me? I’d love to see how it works!

That is the company I bought a kit from but it's sitting on the shelf right now. I went with the hinge assembly: https://www.4xinnovations.com/Swing-Out-Tire-Carrier-Hinge-Assembly_p_109.html

I think it will make a great starting point.

Sure as soon as it stops raining here. mines on a drop down tailgate.

You are awesome. Thanks! That is a hell of a latch. So far, it is winning in my book. I always like what Nak does...
