What are your thoughts or experiences on keeping original rear tire carrier vs. pulling it off and going without? This ‘74 model is for street driving and not off roading....
I pulled mine off and added one on the rear bumper. Not sure why you wouldn't want a spare.
which carrier did you use for the rear bumper?
I'm keeping mine on. I want a spare. My first one in '77 didn't have one, and I got a flat 10 miles up a gravel road on Mt. Hood, 75 miles from home. It was a long hitch hike back. %)
I've thought of removing them, just because it's a cleaner look without it. But I have 10" wheels and use an 8" spare so it doesn't look as big hanging off the back. Three of my four EB's have had racks, and none have splayed the body open, YET ;D The only obvious movement mine gets, is off road.
I'm still hoping for someone here to make the stout looking bumper carriers with the stock bumper surround offered for sale.
You need to post a picture on here for those of us that don't have facebook. Thanks, Ken
hey, how about making that support beam go full width so the drivers corner of the bumber is protected against bends too instead of ending at the drivers frame rail. then if you want you could put the duff cooler rack on that side![]()
