GEN 2 Rear Bumper with swing away tire carrier

[William Yates]

I’d have to see it, but I’d be concerned on how it interacted with the tailgate.

Agreed.

Agreed.

I built a swing out dual spare tire carrier but it replaced the bed. one thing i found and would apply to any bumper mount swing out, is the amount of weight on that pivot point. so just thinking if i where to build one that kept the tailgate that i would consider one that folds down vs out. but your right would have to see the design. im trying to think through how to do a semi-universal bolt on one, that way you could use a variety of bumpers...

Interested. But will truly depend on pricing, aesthetics compared to Wilco’s hitch mount, sensor functionality, camera functionality, removability, etc.

You say you worry about hitch mount but I don’t get why...the hitch is designed to take 500 lb tongue weight towing 8,000 lbs. The bumper is designed to hold the weight of somebody stepping on it.

I'd be interested as well. My wish list is the same as others. Thanks for heading this up.

Oh...and I don't live near Utah...sorry.

I dont live in Utah either but very interested in finding a spare carrier that checks all the boxes already listed. Any status change since 2020?

I’m interested, 6 hrs from SLC
I have looked forever to find this. The Old Broncos use to have this set up.
The problem the the hitch mounted is the break-over angle. I can’t off-road with a hitch installed in the receiver, it hits/drags on everything

@RexDad any update?

Find a Fab Shop in Dallas and get it made.
I had looked at doing something similar to what the jeep guys do, but never ended up going that way.

@RexDad any update?

No updates. I have engaged them on it recently.

I know the shortcomings of a hitch-mount tire carrier but I did find this option:
