some did not come with a rear carrier. mine did not. the spare was mounted inside the rear stock. however my spare is not a stock size so I removed the stock hold down bracket.

my spare is currently just inside in the back. I want to do a spare tire carrier on the roof, probably this summer.

the spare takes up pretty much all the space back there, not sure why they'd do that, but thats how it is!

every one I have seen like mine has a tire carrier, but none look like mine hehehe
