Review on Rough Country 1053 Country 1053 Spare Carrier by David Finley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

There has to be a better way to secure the bolts.

The first thing that struck me, and this is my attention to detail, is that the spare tire lugs are not on a perfect triangle, meaning the Jeep logo is not horizontal when the tire is mounted stays straight. Plow either up or down, as opposed to the factory. Seeing this worries me. Second, when you tighten new standoffs with washers and nuts, the bolts are not tight. Even if you tighten it all the way, the pin will still rotate. They had to find another way to secure those studs. That's why I'm looking for a different type of spacers.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Scarce Manual
