Default Tire Carrier Help

Hey all. I'm looking for a tire carrier to accommodate my new rubber I'll be getting sometime this spring. I like the idea of the spare being outside rather than mounted inside the jeep (I have a 2 DR), so I'm looking for a tire carrier with or without a rear bumper. I'd like for it to be able to hold a hi-lift and maybe gerry cans/rotopax. Those aren't a must but it'd be nice. I've ruled out the or-fab due to the install and the fact that it's irreversible after drilling such a large hole. I like the Genright carrier but again it cannot hold a hi-lift from what I can tell.
Any suggestions?

Try OR-Fab. They have 3 versions. No fuel cans, Rotopax, or Gerry cans.

I like my LoD bumpers. I also like others lol. The LoD should fit your needs they have Jerry can mounts, rotopax mounts, powertank mounts, and a rack.

I like the LoD and may go towards that if I can't find anything else. Has anyone seen a Genright carrier with any way to mount a hi-lift? Or another carrier which can hold one?

There is always the AEV carrier, with optional 10gl fuel caddy. I believe it also accommodates a hi-lift jack.

I like my Rockhard, plus it has a real trailer hitch if you need to tow. It was under $1000 from Bustabizz at 4WD. And no rattles.

I have the genright tire carrier. I talked to the guys at genright and they said they have seen guys mount them on there with fabrication. Im going to run a mount like the river raider mount that mounts it inside and out of the elements

My Hanson carries cans and the jack, although to use, the spare must first be removed.

Does anyone have the HighRock 4x4 rear bumper and tire carrier? Pics of any bumper would help, especially if they have a hi-lift mount.

TeraFlex is introducing a new tire carrier this April that looks very promising. Might be worth considering, if you're not in a hurry.
