Sorry to hijack but do you have the full cage for the safari straps? Do you mind posting more pics of your safari straps/spiderwebshade combo?

BTW Super sweet set up all around.

Any rattling at all? Does your spare sit at a slight angle?

Here ya go. No rattles. Rock solid. Huge carrier bearing. I live this bumper. And yes. The spare sits at a slight angle. It looks bad ass!

Mine rattled even after several adjustments. So I added a cam-type pull-down latch (not shown). Also the geometry of the spare carrier allows for a good bit of vibration side-to-side on washboards. I'll probably weld in a stiffener.

Otherwise I'm happy enuff. If I were buying right now there are better designs to be had.

Sorry no pics. My receipt is in AZ and I ordered it from an industrial hardware supplier. I'll keep on searching. It was rated at 1000 lb I believe.

OK, finally. Similar to this. Mounted with handle down. Had to tweak the metal with grinder as the handle needed to rotate a bit more. Works great.

I've got it and it has performed perfectly through some VERY hard wheeling. No rattling. Spare sits at an angle because it improves departure angle (a good thing):
