LJ/TJ setup for towing?

Steve I can see where where a swing out might prevent some damage as my OEM rear tailgate was caved in by some idiot while my Jeep was parked at a grocery store. Essentially, the other driver who didn't leave a note, was driving a large truck or SUV as there was a mark on my spare where they hit my Jeep. Maybe if I had a swingout that isolated the spare from the tailgate, I would not have had any body damage. I would think your friend Nemesistic would remember that as he sold me the replacement tailagate now on my Jeep.

Bottomline is...its your rig so how you outfit it is your decision. If you are good with the tire carrier..who cares what others think.

Robert, how right you are and if it suits you it is good. I am glad I had the swing and it saved damege.
