Product Description

Bestop HighRock 4X4 Black Oversize Tire Carrier is designed to offer the convenience of a tailgate-mount with the big-tire capacity of a swing-away. This tire carrier adjusts to accommodate up to 35 inch tires, while black powder-coat paint helps protect the heavy-duty tubular steel against corrosion. It utilizes load-bearing mounting brackets which bolt to the strong sub-structure of the Jeep, while a second set of non-load-bearing brackets attaches to the tailgate. This along with a unique articulating mechanism, make the tailgate and the tire carrier open and close as a single unit and give it a hefty load rating of 200 pounds.

What I like the most about this item is when you open your tail gate you dont have to swing the tire out first then open the door. This item allows you to open both in one smooth and fast motion. I have a H2 SUT and its an inconvenience to swing out the tire first then open the tail gate. This spare tire carrier does not require you to have to perform separate actions to gain access to your jeep. I installed this on a 1998 Jeep Wrangler that has a stock bumper. I mounted a 35" tire on it and it has been holding it with no problem. It is quiet and does not rattle. Install, you have to do some drilling which is easy. I installed it by myself. I did not have any scratches or areas of concern when I received it. the powder coat finish looks great. I highly recommend this carrier for anyone who wants to solve a tire carrying problem economically. I would even recommend using this for any tire size 31" on up.

Tire carrier is extremely well made and designed. Welds are high quality and construction top grade. Bestop really thought out this design to use as many existing bolt holes as possible. This makes for a very easy install and clean looking design. Follow the directions and it will be a simple installation.
The tire carrier is sold feeling when closing the door with no rattles. It sits close to the tailgate, so no rearward overhang.
I highly recommend if you don't want to buy a new rear bumper with its own dedicated tire carrier. I had already upgraded to a rockslider rear bumper, so this was the best and easiest method.

Put mine on with a 35" spare and replaced the bolts that go through the tub with Grade 8s with proper torque. It feels nice when closing. Only complaint is the welds are not as pretty as I hoped. there is a nice booger size weld right where I can see it on one of the arms.
