Did anyone read about this in this month's Peterson's New Products section? It's made by Wilco Products but I don't see it on their website. It's a spare tire carrier that slides into the hitch. It has a weight capacity of 150 lbs. I'm interested as I'm not quite ready to dish out $900.00 on a new rear bumper plus a tire carrier. I've been keeping the spare at home but do put it in the back when I go out to ride. Interested to hear some feedback.

(Hope I haven't broke any forum rules with this inquiry.)

 

Me likey it!

 

There's a ton of those around. Remember those old campers from the 70's that had their spare tire mounted up front? Pretty similar. You just have to pull the spare tire out every time you want to open the tailgate.

Here's another version:

I emailed the company to find out how I was missing it on their website. It seems as if they've even got models (not female) that swing out as well as jerry can mounts and hi-lift mounts. I'll be giving these a very serious consideration before I drop a grand on a new bumper.

 

Keep us informed!
