I am looking at the rear tire carriers for the H2. Wanted to check and see which one people preferred. Is it the SMA, Predator, or Adventure Accessories? Also any thoughts on the best prices for them other than e-bay? Any help would be appreciated.

All:
FYI, the rear tire carriers from tire-lift.com are priced as such:
Black Powdercoat Hand Screw $975 which includes a tire cover, jack relocation bracket and shipping. The Electric Screw is $400 more and the Chrome version is $375 more.

Here's my two cents worth.
First I would always check the H2Source online store first, for anything you want to add to your H2.
Second, since it appears you are taking the time to make sure you purchase the right product for your H2 I will tell a few highlights about mine. My tire carrier comes with a step, the hinge is made of 316 grade stainless steel so there is no need for a messy grease fitting, the tire is offset to the passenger side to increase view out of the rear view mirror, I use a heavy duty stainless steel draw latch (2000 lbs)that actually pulls and holds the tire down in place, the latch is concealed behind the tire, the tire only has to be opened 90 degrees to allow the rear door to open. This is beneficial in a parking lot, or if someone parks to close to your side. Last but not least the tire locks in the open position so you don't have to hold the tire open if you are parked on a slant. You can view some pics on the H2Source online store or my website below.
Ok maybe that was five cents worth.
Good luck on making a decision I hope this helped and gave you something to think about.

The SMA Carrier is offered in the H2 Source's online store as well. We are offering it at $665 (plus freight).
*** Be sure to add items to your cart for actual pricing. ***
Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Regards,
Jason

I agree with H2OGuy, check with the H2Source store first. Also, I have had the opportunity to do a full install of the Tire-Lift rear carrier, and love it. It is an extremely solid piece of equipment, and works as advertised. I have photos and am working on a gear review as we speak that I will post later, and will appear in our next magazine.

I hadn't seen the brush guard yet, Klaus, very sharp. Nice work H2O. You should make a deal with Jason and sell your stuff through the forum.

If you have not purchased your tire carrier yet just a little info for you, I'm with Hummer of Marietta we only use the SMA carrier they have taken care of the rattle issue. It mounts into the same holes as your d rings (so no new holes to br drilled) they have made a rubber insert on the coupling your swing arm goes into so as to latch it. No rattle, simple adjustment perfect tire carrier.
We also are a custom hummer dealer if you guys need any help (buying an h2 or just need direction on some assessories let me know jmc247@bellsouth.net |

I have the tire carrier from Adventure Accessories. It's great and easy to install. It has a nifty little round recessed latch (no pin).

I am trying to decide between the SMA and the Adventure Accessories tire carrier. They are both about the same price, but heard about some rattle issues with the SMA. So just wanted to see peoples opinions prior to ordering one.
Relying on Onstar here in Alaska can be sketchy at best.
Thanks.

When I was looking for my tire carrier, I looked at all the carriers available. I maybe wrong but I think I remember some of the carriers used a C channel for the members construction. My SMA carrier uses a full box framed member for its construction. As I said before my carrier does not rattle.

To AlaskaH2:
Have you decided what brand that you get? Are you happy with it? Please share to the forum, as I'm planning to get it myself.

Thanks for the comments Zazing,
However no one else has purchased my tire carrier, it has only been available for about two weeks. I have been developing it for a few months and did not want to bring it to the market until I was complete satisfied. I personally guarantee satisfaction with any of my products. I have spent a lot of time designing my tire carrier and listened to feed back from other H2 owners to develop what I believe to be one of the best tire carriers available. These are custom built products so if something needs altered to fit a specific need, that is something I can take care of.

So you would gladly pay me Tuesday for a spare tire carrier today!
I will get some up close shots but it will take a couple days since I do not have a digital camera yet.
Thanks for the feed back and compliments, my goal is to provide the best equipment possible for Hummer enthusiasts.
