Added the Metalcloak spare tire carrier. Good product, solid and tire does not rattle or move. Good welds. All parts were included and fit exactly like it was designed. No third brake light solution. But I added the Oracle spare tire brake light at the same time. Instructions were really good - step by step and color pics. Exactly what I would expect from Metalcloak. But there are a couple of odd sized Torx bits needed that I didn't realize until I was into the project. The Jeep camera mount has three T8 screws. Seriously Jeep, there's no reason for that.
If you want the ultimate spare carrier, I think the bumper mounted option is the way to go. I just didn’t want to invest that much. I have a heavy 35 for a spare (Nitto Grapplers and Black Rhino rims). Would definitely go a different direction with a larger spare.
Included a box pic because there appears to be a lot of complaints about messed up shipping boxes.
