So i remember seeing a thread with a guy who made his own a while back. I'm running 37s and I want to run the spare at the 45 degree angle mounted from the two points on the rear of the roll cage in the cargo area. Does anyone remember that thread? I can't find it with the search feature. Or any others I want to either build my own or find one to buy.

 

I found the thread but all the pictures are messed up. Search for the same name on JKO and you might find it.

There was another design guy had it painted up with skulls and stuff it sat perfectly

 

right... his name is Matti, I linked you to the post but he uploaded the pictures to photo bucket and they don't work. search his name on jko and you might get pictures

 

I don't have a JKO account. I'm trying on Google but I'm coming up empty handed

 

Our idea and something we are looking forward to doing to our jeep. is to purchase Aries security storage cover for the cargo area.. leaving it closed will allow use to install a custom version of the rear mounted tire carrier but place it on the aries cover. Thus removing the spare tire from the back of the jeep.
However we have several ideas on the drawing board for different designs..

A) Supported with cross members brackets (suspended in a cradle between the roll bars)
B) Mounted to the security cover itself and not have access via the locking mechanism, except one can gain access through the tailgate only

The issue is that the security cover has been designed for the JKU and not the JK.. (2 door) So unless Aries alterest their design for the 2 door jeep. we may end up doing the alterations ourselves.

Which ever we choose, we'll be creating a custom blank to fill the void where the spare tire carrier was located and with this.. incorp another separate brace/bracket which allows for the 3rd brake light relocation.
