As we all know the stock location of
the spare tire and the US Spec 2" receiver leaves a
lot to be desired when going off-road. The Slee-Carrier addresses both
these concerns in a well executed swing out carried that pivots on dual tapered
bearings.
The Slee-Carrier accepts standard
size tires and comes with additional backup light mount tab and antenna
bracket.

bolts to the frame underneath the rear plastic molding.
