I forgot to mention. It goes on the bottom.

will that hold the weight ok? those 36's get heavy.
I am still thinking about where I want to put mine. I thought about in the bed but it might be hard to get it down if I need it. then I thought about putting it on top of the bed but I don't want to kill my rear view, and I think it might be worse if I mounted it in the stock location. are you planning on lowering it a little to give you more view when you look out the rear?

It's should hold up fine. I read about a few spindles breaking, but I think that was more from poor design or abuse.

I plan on mounting the tire high for clearance, although I was considering the possibility of making the height adjustable.

I'm probably going to buy the hinge body here(bottom), and pick up the spindle, bearings and seals myself. This guy also has a nice wheel mounting plate.

nice design

. alot of good info here but i just wanted to know what is so bad about the factory swing tire mount ? i know the fibergalss door suck's but a nice ranger tailgate would fix that problem. just wondering becuz im planning on putting a ranger tailgate on just picked one up from Rock's friend. i was gonna use the factory swing tire mount it seem's to hold up well.

I don't think the factory tire carrier would have held up very well to a 36.

One of my biggest complaints was how much it rattled. My new one is going to strong and quiet. I'll also get tire placement where I want it.
