Fair enough, if you think of it, I'd love to see it when it's all done

EVO is always a good choice! Those looking to this option need to remember to factor in the rear body armor but it's bullet proof solution for those looking to carry big heavy tires!

Ya, I'm just concerned it will look too big with 35's on a 2dr.

Its even overkill for 35's

37's and up it looks the best. As mentioned its built to carry a 40" tire!


here's a shot on my 4 door Jk with 37's

imo a 37" tire is the smallest tire I would want to put in this carrier.

Actually, 35's don't look bad in it.
