Predator Tire Carrier... Help please

[slippy]

I have a similar non oem drop down style tire carrier and it's also a piece a junk. I cut my losses and took it off. I didn't feel like digging a whole and taking it to a weld shop to strengthen it up. I'd recommend just picking up a used one from criagslist. If your not in a rush you can get one for 100-300 bucks.
