Default 35" Tire Carriers

Any other good tire carriers out there other than the AEV carrier or Teraflex extension?

Just upgraded to 35s and need to get that 5th tire on the back. Looking terrible without it

I'm running the OR FAB tire carrier/gas can carrier with a 35. I love it. Really strong and no noise.

Genright has a nice one as well, although the or Fab seems to have more internal reinforcement. I'm trying to decide on the same thing myself.

Depending on your budget the cheapest your gonna find for a whole bumper tire carrier combo is the rancho combo. i think it looks pretty good and so does the price

yeah I think this will be lowest cost wise too. If you're willing to spend $500, you can get a full rear bumper with carrier from e-autogrilles on Ebay. I have one of their rear bumpers and couldn't be happier with it.

Well I've got the AEV rear bumper already. Just trying to spend less that the $900 for the tire carrier. I am leaning towards the Teraflex extension piece but I don't know how reliable that will be in the long run...any opinions?

I also have the OR FAB tire carrier with Rotopax cans. Found it on Amazon for $609. shipped The reason I choose OR FAB was because I wanted to keep my bumper, and wanted to carry fuel cans, and the main reason is looks and this thing is really stout with no rattles!

Good luck with your decision.

You can get it far cheaper than that. Jeepaddons.com had the can version for $499 with free shipping and you could add a $40 discount to it as well.
