I just bought an FJ-62 and I'd like to mount the spare tire and a jack on the back instead of underneath it like it currently is. What's the best product out there for me to look at?

For a bolt on unit. There are a few options...
Make one yourself... (it is what i did)... https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=75040&highlight=bumper+build
Have someone make it for you to your specs like 2badfjs... www.solidrockoff-road.com
or pick up a bolt on unit from a vendor like slee... www.sleeoffroad.com
Lots of options, just depends on your skill, time frame and available funds.

Great, thank you.
Im a really big fan of 2bad's stuff! Hes got great designs, and it looks like he is making his stuff BOMB proof! If you know how to weld, I believe that 2bad will sell the parts to you at a really reasonable price and you do the welding....
Slee's stuff is tried and true as well!
Im learning to weld, so Im thinking about making some of my own gear too!

What about mounting it on the roof rack I have in the mean time? I have a Wilderness rack and would like to secure the tire up there until I get a rear bumper setup.
This is a quick and easy solution. Can work great for lots of folks. It does add mass up high, which raises the Center of Gravity, reducing stability. This may or may not be an issue, depends on how you use your rig. But, I bring it up because some have found it to be a problem.

Lovetoski:
Thanks for that input. Man, it's as flat here as you can possibly imagine so the center of gravity issue isn't a concern right now. LOL.
Does someone make a bracket w/ a lock for this?
