Has anyone here used this? I've been looking for a way to carry my spare without using bed space, and this seems like a cheap way.

That is convenient but I don't want to lose my tiger tail and rear pull points. I'm trying to figure out an easy tire carrier solution

Update! So far after our first ride I really like the tire carrier. I took @PistonHonda advice and added a second hitch tightner which really quieted it down. I do miss having my hitch on as a recovery point but can be swapped fairly quickly. I'll update if I run into any problems.

Great! I can't take credit for the second hitch tightener. I got the idea from @Vaden01 .

Any new updates? I'm looking at one of these as we speak. It looks perfect for my situation. I have a toy hauler with an 11' garage and the pioneer with nothing on front or back just fits in it. I think this would be a perfect portable answer for me.

I ran it all summer and fall on quite a few trips to Windrock and Royal Blue with no problems. I'm not using it currently since I sold all 5 of my 28" tires and wheels when I went to 30's and i haven't picked up a spare yet. Thinking about selling it and trying the SuperATV spare tire carrier.

I have no issues with mine. I want to do something different with the bolts that hold the tire on so I don't need to hold the bolt with a wrench while removing the nut. Other than that, it does what it's supposed to do. I even made a bracket to put my Rotopax on it too.
