Default Rear Tire Carrier???

I know I've seen this on here before, but I'm posting this anyway.

What's the best bang-for-the-buck rear tire carrier rig? I just ordered my Teraflex 2.5" Budgetboost, 35" Baja ATZ Plus', and Gear Blackjack 17" wheels.
What are key things to look for?

Any and all input is welcome and appreciated!


SEMPER JEEP!

Another fan of the OR-Fab tire carrier. Installation is a bitch, but it's totally worth it!

This is the carrier paired with the Poison Spyder rear BFH bumper.






And after getting the license plate relocated.

I'd have to agree. I like my carrier and it allows you to run any bumper you want.

I just installed the AEV tire carrier. I like that it puts the weight on the frame.
Expensive, but very well made.

Have any of you heard the drama about the Highrock 4x4 bumper/tire carrier?

The or fab does look good... I'll have to do a little more research.
