Smittybilt 76857 Gen2 Bolt On Tire Carrier for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

I had more issues getting this thing to line up and work properly than I could have imagined. I have installed quite a few bumpers and this was the worst. The hardware is junk, lots of things don't line up and even though it would be so simple, they don't give you any chart for which holes to use for certain size tires so you end up playing guessing game putting your spare on then off and re bolting everything. It's not the end of the world I just expected more. I did finally get the bumper adjusted good enough but had to add electric tape to several bolts so that they wouldn't rattle in the sleeves driving me crazy. It works and at least it looks nice but I would never go this route again. Way too much modifying the product to work the way it should. Should have bought the TeraFlex Hinge Carrier in hindsight.

Looks Great, love the bottle cap opener. The only drawback was lack of installation instructions. Took triple time installing to figure out. Hope it does'nt fall off someday!

I do not recommend this tire carrier, it squeeks, rattles and makes so much noise that it is not acceptable. I have mine adjusted as tight as the design allows and it is ok on the highway but horrible off road. I recently removed it and went with the Teraflex HD hinge mount. Wish I could get my money back this is a 500$ mistake.
