Stock bumper spare tire carrier...

[Lawndart]

I saw that in the hi-lift thread and wondered.
I see you have Tom's receiver, as do I.
I am assuming you have the "hitchless" version. Do they behave well together?

Yes, went together perfectly. I took some measurements for Monster Mike before they built these without the hitch.

So paint the piece that goes behind the bumper black, the receiver for the tire swing black and then the piece on the end that mounts to the tire swing and tire swing body colored?

Mines a different style but I like the body color on it.

Thank you for posting that - appreciate!

That is what I am thinking at this point. The bits around the bumper will be wimbledon, and the swinger - body color.

I will also likely run locally with the spare and swinger off. Camping and excursions with it all mounted. I use the tail gate too much to be messing with the spare all the time.

Thanks again for the posts!

I like yours better. I like the looks of having the original bumper.

Honestly, I think once you experience how easy it latches, unlatches and stays open with the drop pin, you won't think it's much to be "messing with" all the time. Just make sure you hit the drop pin with a little WD-40 once in a while and it's smooth one hand open and close. (I regularly do the Vanna White demo at shows with it) I've had the same side tire carrier on mine longer than I can remember (15+ years I'm thinking-left side and bumper both changed over time but not tire) and it's still going strong.

Done! Got the tire installed today, too. No picture yet.

Been crazy warm, 60+. Drove it the last two days. I've never had it out for Christmas!

Sigh...anyone know how to take the rotation tag off of a photo with their phone?

More installed pics yet? I should have mine painted and on the car by tomorrow or early next week and will share.

Picking up in a bit, but received this pic from the shop:

Hey all!

We are starting production on another round of them next week.

We are starting with the ones that get receivers then once that batch is done we will make a batch w/o receivers. I expect some of you to see them arrive at your door late in the 3rd week of January and get the rest of them y'all are waiting for by the end of January.

We will be testing this next batch with 36" and 37" tires since we added some more beef in a few areas.

Tax season is right around the corner so we will be sure to ramp up production.

Any manufacturing updates?
