Review on πŸ”’ Tow Tuff TTF-0345TC Universal Locking Spare Tire Carrier by Keith Samuel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The assembly of the holder is very simple and uncomplicated.

Installation of the holder is very easy and straight forward and the holder is very strong and more than adequate for our 12" spare. . The downside to this holder is that the two carriage bolts that attach the tire to the holder can be placed in two different configurations for a 4 or 5 hole wheel, the only way to keep them in place without welding , consists in putting the screws between the holder and the rod, in this case the rod does not rest against the holder and can shake. I decided to weld on the rear carriage bolts, after which I found that the bolt spacing was slightly smaller than the wheel hole spacing and I had to bend down a bit to get it all in place. Bottom line, getting the tire the way I wanted it was a painstaking process. If I didn't mind leaving the carriage bolts loose and risking losing them when unscrewing the replacement part, the process would be a lot easier.

Pros
  • Constructed from welded heavy duty powder coated steel, this tire carrier is strong and durable. Installation is quick and easy thanks to the bolt on design and the zinc plated mounting hardware included
Cons
  • Hard to tell
