awesome thanks man!

Over time it won't hold up unless you've got it braced with more than backing plates on the sheet metal. Tire carriers rattle around infinitely as you drive.

:wabbit2:

I have a second gen carrier from a yard and I'm planning on putting it on my 87. Any updates on how it's been holding up? Curious to see if it's been lasting or if the mounts have fatigued over time.

i recognize this rig from a craiglist ad. i recall it being on there needing a HG job a couple months ago. i almost called on it!

wow, I cant tell you how many times ive seen these factory tire mounts and never thought about it being on my 88 4runner, thank you for posting
