Here is the EVO Tire Carrier with a 35" Nitto Trail Grappler.

These are old pictures. I put on the EVO D-Ring Frame mounts and the Dynomax 2012 JK Evolution Competition Exhaust System so my rig looks different. If you are considering the D-Ring mounts as well, I can take some new pictures for ya.

BuddyHydro thank you so much for the pics. If you feel like taking a new one that would be great. It doesnt look bad. Ive had my heart set on the evo front and rear for a while now. Im still waiting on my jeep it should be here next week or the week after. I already have my lift, tires, spacers and want to get the bumpers and winch so I can install in one day and be done. My girl is going to grow up fast!

They both look good. I just really like the Evo carrier. I want my bumpers and rock guards to all match.

They're there behind the gussets. They light up extremely bright. I swapped out the ones Evo ships with this set up for some even brighter trucklites and mine are stupid visible. As far as a 35" tire on it I wouldn't spend the money and time installing it. After powder coating and installation its close to a 2000 dollar (or more) tire carrier and that's insane for a 35" tire. Mines been line-x'd and holds a 37 and I still think it looks too small on it. Only reason I pulled the trigger was because I'm moving up to 40's when these wear out.

Well I planned on hitting it with some sandpaper, priming and spray can rhino lining it myself. As with any bumpers you would order that come bare steel. I am going to do the install on my own. Hopefully lol.

Yeah I think they look small. I agree with Fadeout so I'm looking to join the 40 club as well. I'll take some more pictures, I have the EVO D-ring mounts like Fadeout (non trimmed frame). I may weld on the D-Ring mounts at a later time but I don't see the need to trim at this time.

Or get 37's, I bought 4 used and 1 brand new bfg km2's for a grand, trimmed my fenders for free, 100 bucks for 1 1/4" body lift front rough country, cut rubi rock sliders and pinch seams and some wheel spacers on a teraflex 2.5" coil lift,
