RE:rear tire carrier

When I bought my scout 3 yr ago it came with the Kayline rear tire/gas 
can hanger. It too has started to rip on the pass side end cap. I just 
dont let it hang open too much. When I make my new rear bumper I will 
have the tire hanger pivot on a bearing that will be mounted to the 
bumper not the end cap. And will have two pivots one from each side, one 
for the tire and one for the two jerry cans...

I bought a Kayline tire carrier, and within a year, the carrier had 
ripped up
the end caps on both sides where the carrier mounts at the top. If you 
install
a carrier, that bolts to the body in any way, be sure to make supports 
on the
body so that the mounts don't rip the body apart. What really ticked me 
off
was that neither Kayline (who I'm sure knew that it would happen) nor 
the
Scout dealer I bought it from mentioned making a support for it. The 
carrier
itself is nice, though.STeve - 74 Scout II with the infamous 40 gallon
