Just updating ,yes still building all this stuff.
The Grab handles have dropped in price and start at $41 a set now.
Also changed the design some so now they mount on the A pillar only no messing with the headliner.

How the heck did I miss this!? The tire carrier is brilliant.

Is there any sort of plate or anything that mounts under the floor to support the weight?

I'm super interested in one.

Question on the grabbers.. Ive been worried drilling into the pillars and starting rust because once you drill you do remove some of the paint... am i worrying over nothing ?


As for the tie carrier inside.. I have been thinking of fabbing my own until i saw yours.. I have two ZJ's and i like how the spares are mounted inside.. I dont like my spare tires being exposed to the elements it wears out the rims.. tires and rubber ect... MY 5.9 zj's full size spare is from 1998 and it looks brand spanking new.. because its been inside the Jeep and covered by leather... Not exposed to the elements.

Candyman,There is always a chance rust could get in there. If you put a bit of paint in the holes it would be less. I wouldn't worry about it.

the pics of folks with 31's in the back look pretty dern tight. Wondering if I can fit a 33 back there without major interference. Perhaps i'll have to stand it up and test fit

Hey! I recognize those mounts! Bob made the 1st set for me. Now I just need to get the doors back together so I can mount mine. Did you use nutserts or just bolt through the metal?
