Hornet Outdoors spare tire carrier

[Bad_bowtie]

Has anyone here used this? I've been looking for a way to carry my spare without using bed space, and this seems like a cheap way.

Looks like a simple solution.

That is convenient but I don't want to lose my tiger tail and rear pull points. I'm trying to figure out an easy tire carrier solution

I have it on my Wolverine. Of course you lose your tailgate and dump bed. It rattles around a little and comes with a tightener, but you'll need a second one to stop the rattle between the two halves.

Well I broke down and ordered it. Look forward to trying it out and giving an honest review. I did order an extra tightner.

You won't have any problems with it. It is what it is.

Post up some pics when it comes in, im potentially interested in one myself.

Update! So far after our first ride I really like the tire carrier. I took @PistonHonda advice and added a second hitch tightner which really quieted it down. I do miss having my hitch on as a recovery point but can be swapped fairly quickly. I'll update if I run into any problems.

Great! I can't take credit for the second hitch tightener. I got the idea from @Vaden01 .

Any new updates? I'm looking at one of these as we speak. It looks perfect for my situation. I have a toy hauler with an 11' garage and the pioneer with nothing on front or back just fits in it. I think this would be a perfect portable answer for me.

I ran it all summer and fall on quite a few trips to Windrock and Royal Blue with no problems. I'm not using it currently since I sold all 5 of my 28" tires and wheels when I went to 30's and i haven't picked up a spare yet. Thinking about selling it and trying the SuperATV spare tire carrier.

I have no issues with mine. I want to do something different with the bolts that hold the tire on so I don't need to hold the bolt with a wrench while removing the nut. Other than that, it does what it's supposed to do. I even made a bracket to put my Rotopax on it too.
