What are your plans for a tire carrier?

Gonna be copying ktmracer419's for the most part.

If you added different mounts, did you make new mounts or buy new ones? And if you bought new ones where did you get them? Pics are very helpful.
I really like your ideas and will probably end up doing it. I am not sure as to my cage though.
Thanks!

They're raised on top of the u bolt plates. No pics, it's a pretty standard thing to do. I think they're the ruffstuff mounts that came with the axle swap kit.

im surprised nobody else has copied me.

it has been the most solid way of mounting a spare tire on the back I have seen. and mine held a larger tire than most, a heavier tire than most, and it survived harder wheeling and bigger jumps than most.
