Winch bumpers, rock rails and roof racks

jail, did you get it with the tire carrier and stuff like that? what size tire will that thing hold? i just want to be able to mount a winch on the bumper. dont want to use a hitch mount cuz im going to take my 8k winch and put that in the rear and put a 9.5 or even 10k winch on the front.

It will be holding a 285/70 17 Nitto Terra Grappler. With the spare relocated there should be room to fabricate a mount behind the bumper. I am thinking of adding a second fuel tank in that spot.

do you know the biggest tire it will hold? cause i need to relocate my spare so i can do some suspension work under there. i want at least a 35 if not a 37.

the lugs they put on to hold the tire are not lug nuts but regular bolts and metric to boot. 12x 1.75
the tire is a 285-70-17 nitto and there is still plenty of clearance to go taller but if you go wider the rear wiper will need to be removed as it is now mine is pinned in place by the tire.

will it hold the weight of a 37?

i dont like the fact that the tire is slanted. but i still might get it.

 

[Jailguard]

I think they slanted it to carry the weight of the larger tires. Not sure if it will hold a 37 thats a big tire.

 

[panda24619]

but since its slanted it hits the window. thats wht i dont like. i might get it cut the slant and turn it around to make it vertical. that way the tire wont rub on the window and i can still use the rear wiper.

 

[Jailguard]

you can tell them that you don't want it slanted since these are built to order. I didn't realize that it would hit the wiper or I would have made it straight.

oooo. well send it back. haha to late now. i think ill just order it that way then. and the front ill make my self.
