The ones with an air compressor make a bit more sense.

I'm really debating a swing out rear tire carrier from RLC. On one hand, it frees up a lot of space on the inside, and of course looks pretty cool. However, to always have to swing it out every time I lower the tailgate, or even roll down the rear window, and being in the way every time I take the top off, it sorta makes me think.
Any advice from you guys?

Chevys have a big butt that drags anyway
So if the carrier is up high enough to not drag on a decent, that's good.
Personally, I like the weight more inboard, over the center of gravity.
That obviously creates its own space issues

Yeah, I just don't know how big the space deal would be. I have a 31 inch spare still, I need to put a 35 inch on it. That might change things a bit.
Barn doors rock.
Ok, I guess I don't have any useful advice.
They do. I used to have a bard door 'burb. It was very cool.
Why would you hafta swing the tire out to lower the window? 
Best to consider a few things
Where you wheel most of the time, is it going to be compromised often?
If you don't use a swing out, where would you put it?

I have a manual crank, it would be right over the top of it.
#1, no. Not in desert two tracks. Blazer Bash, probably.
#2, I would probably lay it flat in the back.
My burb from back in the day.
Beautiful. Why did you get rid of it?
Would it have to be? Is there no way to either slip your hand behind it or position it far enough off to one side?

Thats true. The Cashbag truck has one. I'll search it.

Well, I looked at his. It's possible. Would be a bit of a PITA though, you would have to reach behind the tire. There is enough room to flip the crank out.
Maybe start a new thread pertaining to just this. See what other ideas and concerns come out?
Sounds like a plan.
