Wanted: fj40 tubular tire carrier

[The Camileon]

I'm looking for a tubular tire carrier in good shape, no rust. Also wondering if its strong enough to carry 35"?

Found this one locally, looking at the picture it's not "completely" rust free, but looks serviceable.

Didn't say where you are located, but might be worth a call.

Just saw this in the classified section:

not sure if it is the later tube style you seek but worth a check.

You may consider posting in the classified section. You will probably get more responses there.

We just three posts it was pretty easy to figure he is from the LA area. Has a 71 so besides the tire carrier he would need the cushion and catch for the latch

Reading the sellers posts here it's possible that is one off a 80 series since that is where he seems to post.

Not a bad idea about starting a thread in the classified section but reading the other posts and talking 35" he doesn't have a stock cruiser and might be better off going with a carrier that mount to rear frame crossmember. 4+ sells a beefed up crossmember that would support a rear carrier with larger tires. Contact LCWizard thru PM here on MUd. He makes the 4+ products in Miami, AZ

Way better idea than a stocker for a 35" tire.

Agreed. My 33x10.5x15 BFGs are about as big as I'd go using the body sheet metal to hold it. I loved my 4+ rack on my troopy.

Am I that easy to read . I was looking in to the 4+ and some others but the price is pretty steep. I thought I could get away with the original tubular design. I guess its better to do it right the first time.

Anyone have a used one I could take off they're hands?

Ask for a MUD discount. you'll get 15% off. I'm pretty sure you can get it bare steel cheaper. I saw a used stock tubular one on EBAY incomplete for 300+ dollars. Considering Specter wants 100.00 just for one "refurbished" hinge for that carrier..........

Awesome, 15% makes a big difference and I could powder coat it later.
Thanks for the help guys.

I rattle canned mine and it lasted fine. Plus I could touch it up every so often. If you just get the tire rack it's priced really well and you get a receiver.
