Default Rear tire carrier

Ordered a Smitty built rear tire carrier. What are your thoughts. I'm running 35's on aluminum wheels.

I just can't see spending $700 on a spare tire carrier

I am seriously considering an Olympic boa bumper with tire carrier. Under $600, and reasonably light weight.

How bout that much for just a hinge? (Terra flex) then you can keep the factory rear bumper.
