Hi guys, I've been looking for the lightest spare carrier combo I can come across. I've searched, googled, etc.--not much out there.
My next rear bumper will be aluminum....I put my big arse on a diet and now the next Jeep will follow suit!
So far I have not found any aluminum swing out carriers...and it doesn't look like a good idea to weld a steel spindle on an aluminum bumper to make a light hybrid setup. I wonder if there are any aluminum carrier spindles out there.
Does anyone know if there is a lightweight simple tube carrier that attaches to the tailgate hinges? I'm open for options-just want to find out if obsessing about the net weight difference between steel and aluminum is worth messing over. I don't have a style preference-just want it to do the job. I've seen the orfab one but it looks pretty heavy. The T&t one may be an option.
