Anyone have an AEV Tire Carrier on their Jeep? I'm specifically looking for impressions on the design, how hard to set up, etc...
I found a deal on FaceBook and want to know how hard the setup is...

Re: AEV Tire Carrier
I have the full AEV rear bumper system. Didn’t realize they sell the tire carrier separately. How does it mount?

Re: AEV Tire Carrier
Exactly like the full bumper, The bumper just has a hole cut in the top of it. The Tire Carrier is sold separately and mounts with a brass sleeve in a steel housing. It mounts with two bolts on the side and one on top and bottom of the passenger side frame horn. I may have to do some quick cutting on the rear facia that I have to make the AEV carrier fir, but hopefully I can keep the facia.MattJ wrote:I have the full AEV rear bumper system.

The AEV carrier takes all the weight of up to a 40" spare and puts it directly on the frame, taking it off the rear door. Right now my factory carrier is holding my 35" spare and 1 it barly fits, and 2, the rear door is starting to show some "looseness" like it may be loosening or weakening the joints...
