Hey guys, im in need of a way to mount a spare to the back of my truck, and i found these Wilco offroad hitchgate tire carriers and they look pretty sweet but i couldnt find any pics of a TB with one of them on. Have any of you guys used the wilco carrier on a TB?

I have seen a hitchgate used and some have custom. Its likely cheaper to have one built locally than buy the pre-built and will fit and finish out better.

I have one installed. I've had it for 4 years and love it! No clearance problems, very sturdy and don't wobble or bounce around like the cheaper options out there, and has a 2" receiver so you can still pull with it!

This is just the standard one. It bumps up like an inch or two from the factory hitch point. The bottom of the swing are is right at the bottom of the bumper. Haven't seen one but I think the hi-clearance in is 4" or maybe 6" up from the hitch. Unless you need the extreme approach angle the standard works great.
