Good idea, does it rattle?

I thought this idea was the shat (keeps it inside so its easy to get to in all situations and its out of the way), so i went to Lowes and got a 3/8 x 6" bolt, 2 fender washers, a nylon locking nut, lockwasher, a small 3/8 washer, and a wing nut, bent the bolt in a 90* angle, put it in the spare tire holes, put the tip of my high lift in the Oh Crap handle so it wont fly around, tighten and its good. total cost was $2.45! now thats a high lift bracket. it would have been cheaper if i had kept the spare tire mounting bolt and hardware, but that went out the door along with the 235/75R15's, lol. as far as order of install goes, it went nylon nut ran down about 2" from the trim, fender washer, high lift, fender washer, lock washer, small 3/8 washer, wing nut. this stuff doesnt make a noise. its really quiet and doesnt get in the way of any seat belt or passanger's head. as far as the handle goes, i zip tied it so it wouldn't make a noise.

Hey MontanaXJ
Is that Rigidico's Rear bumper and carrier. That looks excellent. I have the setup on order but only seen pics on the earlier models. Any problems/concerns with the bumper and carrier? Don't want to offend anyone for posting this comment on this thread but I think that looks great and the mounting is second to none. Thanks MontanaXJ for any comments.

Yup. I was the first customer to mount the system on a late model. It interfered with the wiper arm and the license plate light cover. As a result the tire carrier had to be redesigned for the late model hatch. I worked with Terry so that he could redesign the swing arm and now it fits great with no issues.

thanks, altho it then leaves the obvious problem of storage space.
