Most of their stuff is internal. Their bag system really is the tits. I have the side rack in my FJ and it is a well built product.

That's why a cargo rack is my best option... save for the whole garage height issue. |

Or a spare tire mount rack.
I also use one of those cheapy rear hitch mount racks... it was $49 at Tractor Supply. |

In a perfect world the spare would be mounted on top of the cargo rack...
...sadly, I am tire carrier shopping as well. |

My reading indicated they are a giant waste of time and money... that the factory spot is good, it's another thing to open/close, and all the aftermarket ones will eventually rattle/fall apart.
I am gonna get this eventually- http://www.gr8tops.com/index.php?opt...ash&Itemid=113 |

The stock carrier on the JK can hold some weight, but once you have the weight of a 35" tire (or larger) you run the risk of popping the welds and placing too much stress on the hinges. The additional weight of aftermarket tires of that magnitude wasn't considered when reinforcing the rear gate. Given such, you can either replace/upgrade the carrier itself (OR-FAB offers a nifty carrier) or replace the carrier and bumper with the typical all-in-one job.

Yes, I know that's what I linked above (TJ only currently).
Cheaper and simpler than the OR Fab Design. |

That's pretty cool. I think I may have seen something similar for the JK, my memory is fuzzy on it though.

That would be cool. I just don't want to have to open two things to get into the back of my jeep, and since I already have an aftermarket bumper with a hitch it's a waste to get one with a tire carrier for $500+

Understandable. I can't say that I would care about opening two things... I just don't want my gate/spare to fall off while I am driving. I don't want to have to buy a new piece when I upgrade tire sizes from 35" to 37" to so forth.

Yeah, the one I posted has different mounting positions for different tires.
