Rhinolift Tire Carrier for a M1045A2?

[alpha23]

I'm considering the rhinolift tire carrier, www.rhinolift.com, for an M1045A2; however, the documentation states, "...approved for use with the following HMMWV's: M10252AS, M1114, M1097, M1097A1, M1097A2, M1113, M1151, M1152." Rhinolift technical support was unable to provide any further guidance than the documentation. Does anyone know if this tire carrier will fit the M1045A2 if I also obtain an airlift bumper (required for install)?

I don’t see a price?

Yes, it will fit after an airlift bumper installation.

Hell the M998s are not even on that list. I have to wonder what is holding up my spare tire on my M998.

Maybe they are only listed for trucks that came from the factory with air lift bumpers?

 

[MarkM]

I was thinking the same thing but if they are selling these things then why not list them all since they will all bolt on to the airlift bumper. On another note I can't believe how much the prices have gone up on these parts in the last few years.

I think that ad is aimed at the military so it would have to be an approved application.

Thank you for the responses. Very helpful.

Rather than make a new thread- does anyone know what carrier these are? The pics through the fence are humvees sitting at my local sheriffs lot, the other on the red hummer I found on Facebook. Look somewhat home made but similar swivel to the rhino carrier.

Rhino carrier is the way to go... unless one can bench press 165 pound, position tire and spin on a nut to hold it.

May not be the easiest, But without Rhino, good way to bust a nut, CAMO

those LEO mounts appear to be Ibis Tek. They typically are offset so another carrier for Fuel/Water cans can go on left.

Interesting info on the Rhino webpage as they seem to have a refurb lift available direct and I also saw a kit to mount without an airlift bumper.

Rhino is the way to go. They have the strongest turnbuckle / ratchet mechanism to raise and lower your tire. Bolted directly to the airlift bumper using the supplied bolts and existing holes. They do sell a kit to mount one if you don't have the bumper.

1045a2 didn't come from factory with airlift bumper. Install one and Yes, the Rhino is the way to go.

To answer your question the tire carrier on the military HMMWV in the first 3 pictures was the one made and offered by AMG I believe.
They also made the swing away water/fuel 2 can carrier. They were the thing to have until the Rhino came out.
They original pair worked together without blocking the taillights.
When using the factory Rhino bracket mounted to the airlift bumper, I didn't have room for the fuel carrier.
I'm not aware of a OEM fuel carrier that will also work with the Rhino using the original mounting points.
I had to modify my Rhino carrier lower bracket to offset the carrier about 3 " to the right to make enough room for a custom swing away 2 can carrier
I still have my old AMG set around someplace. I can take you some pictures of it.
But like others have said and I agree you have gravity on your side getting the spare off but putting the tire back onto the old-style carrier is a pain .
