Default Tire carriers.

Anyone have the smittybuilt or the besttop oversized tire carriers? Wondering how well built they wereand if it is a suitable way (inexpensive) to carry a 35"?

You might want to hold out until late April to get TeraFlex's upcoming tire carrier. ($499)

Tire carrier only? Or is it bumper, tire combo? And where can I find a pic of it?

So it is pretty sturdy? No wobble or rattle when wheeling?

I've had the Smittybilt SRC w/ tire carrier for about 3 years now, no rattling, very solid, matches my RR Modular front with prerunner bar really well too. Definitely strong, mounting was kinda a bitch though. Thats my only complaint though.
