Anyone have one of these worth the purchase? I am curious how strong or stable it is.

After about 20-30 feet the sound of your tail gate vibrating / bouncing back and forth would drive you crazy.
That and anytime you wanted to open the tail gate you would be getting a workout lifting the tire.
Of course that is just my opinion.

No thanks.
Maybe it's the angle of the photo, but it also looks like it would need to be taken off to lower the tailgate to 90 degrees down.

Is that a one man job putting that tire up there? I can roll a tire up a board into the bed, but I probably couldn't lift it and get it on those two bolts.
If it is only $20, let us know how well it works out.

I think 2 people would have a workout trying to get a HMMWV tire with runflat inside to line up with those 2 bolts and secure the tire. (125 pounds without the runflat)

Is that a tailgate mount? That would be a very heavy tailgate!

Most people are doing the airlift rear bumper upgrade. from there they either install the rhino spare tire carrier.
Or the older style swing out carrier with matching swing out fuel carrier.

Bye bye departure angle with that low hanging spare. Agreed it looks flimsy.
