Smittybilt tire carrier reviews?
Anybody running the Smittybilt tire carrier? I've been running a 35 on my stock carrier for about 8 months and starting to get nervous...looking for a temporary (cheap) solution until I can get a bumper with carrier.

Bad pic but I've had my SB oversized tire carrier on for over a year now. It has mixed reviews across the board but in my case I have had no issues at all. eventually I will replace it with something else but as for now it does the job. No tailgate rattles, buckling or warping. I think the key is to make sure the tire is secure and tight to the carrier.

SB XRC bumper and tire carrier here....so far so good 4 months old no issues very happy with the product.
33 in tire right now, and as others have said third brake light is adjustable,
Really like the "hammered" finish too.

I have one on right now with a 35. I just ordered the Teraflex tire carrier, just the carrier not the hinge, to replace the smittybilt. I will buy the hinge later when I have $400 to drop on it. In the mean time the carrier is only $223 and is adjustable.
