Default Tire Carrier Info
Hope this is the right place for this!

looking for info on this tire carrier, I have the same top and have been looking at ways to mount the tire as this gentleman has done. However this is the only image i can find of it.

if anyone has any more pictures showing attachment points or knows the owner (hopefully he is on here) I would love to get more info on the setup!

Cheers

Doesn't look like anything on ace's website.

The image shows it mounted to the roll cage, not mounted off the bumper with your typical tire carrier.

Thinking its custom built.

I have seen several custom builds like that one, but I don't think I've seen one from a manufacturer. It wouldn't be a hard job for a local customs shop.

Seems like it would be a pain the ass to get that down to change a tire.

Not often, but I wouldn't want to do that alone. Would you have to lift it up and then off as well?

Ace has an add-on for the frame/bumper mounted tire carrier they make. The one in the photo is attached to the roll cage. The only one I have seen mounted to the roll cage before this picture was one that a local shop custom made for a Jeeper I know.
