Default Warn tire carrier help please

Does anyone have the warn tire carrier installed on another bumper that isn't warn? is it even possible? I have the ARB rear bumper and I'm considering doing this.. Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing?
Thanks in advance

not sure what the arb bumper looks like, but i have the warn bumper and carrier. you would have to custom make the pin that the tire carrier swings on.

i think as long as the tire carrier would fit well on the arb such as space between carrier and tail gate, overall length, etc..., it could be done. the pin would have to be welded on the arb and a bracket bolted on. so if you can weld and drill holes, then i imagine it wouldnt be too bad to do.

something else to consider is how the arb bumper is mounted to your jeep. depending on your tire size, when the carrier is swung out, that applies a lot of force and weight onto the corner of the bumper. if the bumper is not mounted to the jeep a certain way, more than likely you will eventually end up causing damage somewhere.

That's a good point.. Thanks.. I think I'm gonna go with the Or-Fab carrier instead.. much less complicated solution.. Bit more expensive, but...
