Extreme Max Economy Spare Tire Carrier

Eventually (and probably at the most inopportune time) one of your trailer tires will go flat. Don't be stuck on the side of the road unable to make it to the cabin or your favorite fishing hole because you didn't bring your spare tire. We get it, there are a thousand reasons to leave the spare at home, and most of them involve it taking up valuable storage space. Well, that's where we come in. The Extreme Max Economy Spare Tire Carrier helps alleviate the hassles of carrying a spare. Mounting directly to your trailer frame, the carrier creates space where there once wasn't, providing an easy-access mount for nearly any 4 or 5-hole spare tire and allowing your to get back on the road with minimal hassle.

Direct-to-Frame Mounting

Easy installation is the name of the game. Fitting standard trailer frames and/or trailer tongues up to 3" wide and 4" tall, the Spare Tire Carrier mounts easily with just a couple wrenches and requires absolutely no drilling or cutting, making it easy to reposition or remove when necessary. All mounting hardware is included.

Easy Accessibility

While mounted, the spare tire sits vertically just outside the trailer frame, providing easy access in the event that it is needed while remaining out of the way of your boat or other cargo. The close-to-trailer design helps cuts down on wind resistance during travel.

Versatility

The Economy Spare Tire Carrier is designed to fit both 4 and 5-lug spare tires with its innovative mounting plate, each mounting with two lugs for a secure hold.

Note: The carrier is not designed for use with 15" wheels or 6-hole lug patterns.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would it support the weight of a normal motor home front tire (Ford E-450 wheel/tire)? Thanks
Answer:	Nope don’t try it for E-350 tire ! I destroyed the mount in 100 miles of freeway travel ! Unit is way to light for a truck tire . By the time I got to dirt roads I had taken a ratchet strap to hold it on . I had a Trailer to carry the tire home . It would maybe work on a small trailer wheel and tire but no way for a truck tire !
Question:	does it hold a dually wheel for a motorhome
Answer:	No. It would be too heavy and the wheel is probably too deep. I have a 13 inch tire on this one for my 4X6 enclosed cargo trailer. It does fine for that small tire. The only reason I bought this one is because it lifted the tire up much higher than the ones that bolt on a 45° angle. And it does rattle a little bit because you’re able to release the tire with a pin to let it down. Overall it does fine for my small application.
Question:	I purchased the item and after I unpacked it found that one part is missing. How do I get the missing part replaced
Answer:	I would do an amazon return and label as parts missing.
Question:	can this fold Down 90 Degree
Answer:	Yes it can,

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to use the 3rd brake light
Answer:	You do not have to but it does fit. Some states require them for inspection though.
Question:	Wondering how this holds up with regards to rust? I live in New England and am running into poorly finished parts that rust in no time
Answer:	I live in Hawaii (which is very rust-prone) and I have had mine on for over a year with no signs of rust. Quality product in my experience.
Question:	is this easy to install yourself and how long does it take approximately
Answer:	Yes, it was easy for me to install alone in about two hours, but I have 40 years automotive repair experience and 12 years on Jeeps. Follow directions for "taping" your tailgate in place (correctly positioned in height, and latched) BEFORE you remove the stock hinge bolts. This allows near perfect alignment of the Smittybilt hinge bracket, so you'll only have to insert and snug those outside edge bolts to lock it in enough to open and snug down the rest. Additionally, by loosening those six hinge bolts and using a wooden shim underneath, you can obtain a better closure alignment (centering the height of the latch), for years of trouble free tailgate closure. Hope this helps!!!
Question:	So does this come with the extender for the third brake light? And if so can I use my factory third brake light
Answer:	YES ....it does come with the extender..... I didn't use it because In my opinion with the 35" tire and the third brake light it would reduce the rear view....The tire carrier works great ....no complaints ....2012 JK Sport 2 DR....35" on a 4" lift......

Answer:	It is designed to use angle iron or square tubing, but if you're willing to drill one or two holes through the front plate and into your round tubing, and use a couple heavier duty machine screws of the correct size to keep the bracket from slipping, it should work as intended.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this mount be used with the factory carrier to reinforce it
Answer:	It moves it to the center of the wheel
Question:	Can the hinges be removed? id like to get it refinished to match my UHD rear bumper
Answer:	The brackets only allow you to adjust the carrier to fit up to a 37” tire. Also you will need a carrier Mopar 82215356AB CARRIER KIT and also a brake light relocation kit.
Question:	Can you use the stock Rubicon rim with this carrier
Answer:	Some 35s have different treads, I have nitto ridge grapplers in 35/12.5r17 on method 701 wheels and the stock setup was fine, the rubber “bump stops”( I forgot the name of them) which presses against the tire and tail gate may need to be adjusted for more or less. This kit does raise the spare up about an inch where I can clear my 1up bike rack when it’s full down. If you have a rack on your hitch receiver then test it, if not I would recommend getting this or a replacement tire carrier

Question:	Will this fit a 2000 Chevy Astro passenger van
Answer:	No, not as is. The hinge mounts are different, length is different etc.
Question:	I can’t find the list of van model/years this will fit. Will it fit. 2012 Chevy Express
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry. TheTC100 will not fit your van. You will need part number TF200, which is more of a universal tire carrier.
Question:	Will this fit on 2004 chevy express 3500 extended
Answer:	No, I think that the door on the 2004 is wider, so I say it would not fit. Mine is a 1995 body and that was the last of that body style, 1996 has wider doors.
Question:	Will this item fit on a '95 GMC G2500 Rally van

Answer:	The only thing special about this product is the sleeve, all the other parts are just off the shelf trailer parts. For the spindle, bearings, races, seal and cover. the spindles are pressed into the trailer axles and not sold separately to my knowledge. but everything else, just take it to your local trailer supply and they can match or cross reference the part numbers. it looks like 1500lbs axle parts.
Question:	Is there any sag when weight is applied
Answer:	That all depends on you design, hinge location and weight.
Question:	What are the product dimensions? Height and diameter? What is the weight capabilities meaning tire size
Answer:	4" long the length thru the bumper. 1.25" OD, shank; 1" OD bearing seats. Rated for 1000 pounds. The design of the tire carrier will affect your effective size/weight rating. Proper design can hold a 40" tire on a steel beadlock.

User questions & answers

Question:	wrangler LJ with the stock rear bumper on. Want to hang a 35/12.50R15 on the back. Will the tire clear the top of the rear bumper ? THX
Answer:	You don't. Fill it up with water. I use soap and a thinner brush to clean them, which usually isn't necessary. Once your pops are frozen, remove them by running quickly under warm water, I do two at a time, then I put two in a plastic Baggie, zip the bag and when all are in bags, I put the bags in the freezer. Takes up less space, can clean the pop maker right away, PLUS, I CAN NOW MAKE DIFFERENT POPS AND REPEAT THE PRICESS! Hope this helps!
Question:	Will it fit a 35x12.5x15 tire with a stock bumper? Some say yes and some say no
Answer:	I hate this product, the stainless top is very difficult to remove once frozen. Do not buy this item
Question:	will this mount work inside the bed of a chevy truck
Answer:	Most pieces it well. If you get a stubborn one split starting on the edge of the log. It well split 90% of the time split much bigger rounds than they say it well but you half to start on the edge. Turn the log, spit, turn the log, split, repeat working towards the center. It does not have enough muscle to split twisted logs. Used mine four seasons. I would say it has split 90% of what I have asked it to. Very important that it is reasonably level or it looses power. I set it on the ground and set in a chair. Had 0 problems with it. Very happy with it.
Question:	Is this the actual mount or just another extender
Answer:	Yes! This is an outstanding tool. Very heavy duty. Have even split hedge.

User questions & answers

Question:	If you had it for tj , i would buy one
Answer:	Sorry only currently JK.
Question:	Does this include the adjusting cam
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Will it fit stock jk bumper
Answer:	Not sure have after market bumper, But will tell you to make sure you mount the left side just above the body line. or you won't have room for the nut on the side of the body at the bottom of the mount.
Question:	How far does the carrier extend from the Jeep body, space is tight in my garage
Answer:	16 1/2" from rear tailgate. Plus another 3" depending on which 3rd brake light and license plate light u choose. We chose the poison spider led combo. How ever if u don't NEED this tire rack for a 37 or 40" tire I'd choose another brand. It's extremely difficult to install correctly and if it doesn't line up its a burden for the entire length of ownership because u have to drill 5 holes in the jeep body. Teraflex makes a much better product for roughly the same cost if not less and u don't need to relocate your license plate.
