    Does anyone own or have experience with the n-fab spare tire carrie? I have some questions about it. Has anyone had a spare tire carrier fabricated?

    Other than the 3 lug nuts is there anything stopping someone from grabbing your tire and rim?

    One of them is a lock, they would have to unbolt the arm to take it

    Was it this version you went with? Youve got my attention on this compared to a full steel bumper at 1500-2000. Im just looking to carry a full 33" spare on the back and this seems like a cheaper alternative. Plus less weight.

    Thanks, got any complaints or everything seems pretty stout back there? Also how much of a gap would you say between the tailgate to sidewall of tire? Looks about 6"

    Anyone seen my wallet?
    Ive got the nfab that mounts to the rails. It works great, cant hear any movement. It does however take up 60 or so percent of my shortbed.
