Compare and contrast Tire Carrier Options, feel free to post other options. These are just some tire carriers people had on a recent Lost Burritos get together.

Rocky Mountain Westy




adjustable latch bump stop, anti rattle




note how the open position lines up with the body, so cars parked next to you are not blocked


open position can be set at various open angles


Gary Lee




open position would block a car parked next to me


how the Gary lee is held open



Tailgate Mounted Tire


pvc tube holds hatch open


Van Cafe bent wire carrier

I would like to see more side photos of this one. Any one in samba land have this carrier? They don't have any photos of it in the opened position or with a tire on it.
