Tire carrier on ebay?

[atlawson]

I was wondering if any one had any experience with this tire carrier. I like the fact that it can be removed if need be by lifting off on the rotation point.

I haven't seen this one yet. Never heard of "Fabtech" either. I do like the fact that you can remove it, but since I would find the lock/key annoying after a while (and I wouldn't want to leave it unlocked all the time), I'd prefer to have a firmly attached carrier. Just my 2c.

[atlawson]

Leaving it unlocked would leave it vulnerable, but who would acctually think to pick it up and off the hinge to steal it? I would think it was securly attached if i had seen it and didn't know otherwise. The price seems in line with all the other manufactures that are sold on ebay. I just wish i knew the fit and ease of use, or if it will freeze up or not.

Where did you see Fabtech? Fabtech is a well-known company that has been making lift kits and suspension components for quite a while.

Follow the link above to ebay auction for the tire carrier.

this is said in the auction:

<span class="ev_code_RED">Because of the factory-made tire carrier's tendency to rattle, many dealers are choosing to offer stronger-built and more convenient tire carriers like this one made by Fabtech Manufacturing.</span>

Something sounds fishy. They say they are the manufacturer but say the unit is made by Fabtech.

Even says custom cad designed...blah blah blah.

True I wish somemone here had some experience with the carrier. It does sound to good to be true...May be in time if they keep selling on ebay, i can get one and try it out and post results here.

I don't know what happenned to the post I made regarding this tire carrier...but, here is another. I purchased this exact carrier from same Ebay seller. It works, but it started rusting the day it went on. I rattles already albeit not much. It does serve the function it advertises though.

Ok...oops. I found my original post regarding this tire carrier.
