Default Bicycle carrier on OR-FAB tire carrier?

Howdy!

I'm planning to take my bikes on my next trip and removed the hard top, hence no roof racks.

I'm looking at the Thule and Yakima spare tire carriers but they do not seem to fit on the OR-FAB tire carrier. I do not want to use a hitch type carrier.

Anyone managed to mount any of those or found a bicycle carrier compatible with the OR-FAB tire carrier?

Thanks!

Hitch would be your only option. I sold my yakima carrier when I installed my or-fab tire carrier.

Quick Google search yielded this... Looks like it would work with the Or-Fab.

I saw the Hollywood model but the reviews seemed all over the place. In Amazon, for example, some folks say it does not fit around a Rubicon's spare while others say it does. Do you have any experience with it?

I don't unfortunately, not sure how many options are out there that would work with the t-handle.
