Show your Swing Away tire carriers!

Don't know if the manufacturers pay any attention to threads like these but I am also in the market for the whole enchilada. Problem is there are no perfect matches. If you review this thread you will notice one glaring deficiency. Look at the tire carriers and bumpers. Only a couple come close to fitting reasonable well. 80% or better have the spare mounted way too high as well as sticking out way too far. What's up with that?
I have a way around that problem and when/if I get the chance/time to make it I'll be sure to share it.

For the record, this pushed my spare into my tailgate and actually bent my tailgate pretty good. The OR-Fab even straightened it out quite a bit. (Note that this was a stock tire carrier when the photo was taken.)

and the gerry is more expensive than the bare on the or fab site.
Im sure bare will drop on quad when they carry it, or theyll raise the gerry.

Tire & Can Carrier vs Tire Only Carrier
When we first released the tire only carrier we produced this product in very small runs, which is why the product cost was higher at first. Since the release our production runs have increased to a point that they are basically the same as the tire/can carrier.
The material cost of the tire only carrier is about $27 less than the tire/can carrier. You should find the same costs difference on the market as well. If you know any vendors that are still reflecting a higher price on the tire only carrier, PM me. We'll help the vendor get their price where it should be.
