"Offering
the convenience a tailgate-mount with the big-tire capacity
of a swing-away, the Bestop Oversize Tire Carrier utilizes
load-bearing mounting brackets which bolt to the strong
sub-structure of your Jeep, while a second set of non-load-bearing
brackets attach to the tailgate. These, along with a unique
articulating mechanism, make the tailgate and the tire carrier
open and close as a single unit and give it a hefty load
rating of 200 pounds. The Bestop Oversize Tire Carrier adjusts
to accommodate up to 35" tires, while black powder-coat
paint helps protect the heavy-duty tubular steel against
corrosion. Some drilling is required."
