Tire carrier (+bumper) weight? (not tire weight)
Does anyone know the actual weight of the various bumper/tire carriers and/or the Or-Fab carrier?
I need a tire carrier (I don't want to use my stock carrier) for my new 33's, but I also don't really want a cruise liner's anchor to be mounted back there. I'm guessing the Bestop is the lightest, but I'm not sure if I like its attachment to the tailgate. How about the LOD, Warn, Smittybilt (classic, not tubular), and Or-Fab? I know there are others, but these seem to be the ones I keep looking at. I also know that BESRK's are about 106#, at least that's what he told me awhile ago.

You could look into the Bestop tire carrier, I found one for 250 something. Some people here run this one and had tabs welded to mount the hi-lift.

The tire carrier I built it around 110lbs total. Check the link in the sig for more info. The bare steel bumper was 80lbs IIRC per UPS, and the frame section was about 35lbs IIRC. my front bumper is about 55lbs per UPS IIRC.

you won't feel the tire carrier any more than you would feel a winch on the front. The rear has heavier duty springs so that you won't even notice the weight of the bumper.
