Looking for a good Multicarrier

[LastExpo2000]

Does anyone know of other brands other than tire gate and tactical armor who make rear tire carriers/multicarriers?

I like tactical armors but would like to keep my rear bumper as original as possible

tire gate is the only one that i can think of. they offer a hitch-mount so you do not have to replace your bumper.

i want that bumper. but idk if they can put dual tires on it. it is nice and has many options too. or you can always make your own tire carrier. im thinking about making my own.

The only bad thing about that is that I wouldn't be able to open my hatch. I have a question for you. How did you mount your winch in the front? Pics if you got em please

why wouldn't you be able to open your hatch? just swing tire out of the way.

Not with the attachment that just mounts to the hitch and holds the tire. That model doesn't pivot, it remains stationary

i meant the swing away carrier, that also mounts to your hitch. this would allow you to get into your hatch. my apologies. as for the winch, i used a warn hidden winch mount. there should be some pics in my gallery.

The hitch gate is a fraction of the price of the swing arm. What did you mount the winch to? What did you have to remove to attach it?

i mounted the winch to the winch carrier, supplied by the warn hidden winch mount. then the whole assembly mounts to the frame. then you replace the bumper. if you have tow hooks, you have to remove them first, then you can put them back on after you install the winch.

thats my favorite thing about your truck navy

thank you expeditionary. i think that is my favorite part too! now i just need to fab a bracket to move this to the rear and put a bigger one up front!

After realizing how over priced tire gate is I've decided to make my own. I just can't figure what to use for hinges to allow the assembly to pivot out. Anyone have any ideas?

you making a bumper or a hitch assembly?

Go over to tractor supply and buy a small trailer wheel hub and spindle assembly to use as the hinge. The bearings will make it open smoothly and it should be completely weather proof.

the kind that mounts to the reciver hitch. Thanks, do you have any idea how much those cost? Could I find it at lowes? Only asking bc the nearest tractor supply is 30 miles away
