I guess the only question that I have is for folks aspiring for or already running 37”+ why not just run a swing gate carrier setup?

Cost mainly, and to maintain OEM bumper and looks.
it's a valid question, but mainly $ and avoiding accessory overkill (do we know how to do that on B6G??). Having a 37" spare, to get the Raptor OEM bracket and hinges for ~$270 is a no-brainer, to me at least. I haven't really researched dedicated tire swing out carriers, but they all have to have an integrated bumper I think, probably no less than $1,200 for any of those options. Seems like overkill just to support a tire. Of note, I'm not going to carry any extra stuff on the back, I have Trailrax + pak rax, so already have a method of carrying gas cans, etc.

I’m running a 38 spare and plan to carry other liquid stuff, so-I’m looking for more stout options. I know maintaining the OEM aesthetics was mentioned, but one of the 1st things I did was remove my OEM rear bumper for a high and tight version. Looking to go tubular high and tight now

Did you use a drill or by hand?

Hand with a ratchet
This will be great when I upgrade my tires.
Does anyone know where to find the smaller (Raptor) rubber bumper spacers?
It is my understanding from another post that they need to be trimmed to accommodate the width of larger tires.

https://buckleupoffroad.com/product...bronco-w-buor-braptor-spare-tire-reinforcmentI noticed that on the exoskeleton, the middle "hole" of the hinge mounts are noted as accessory ready, and have incons for flags, cameras, or lights. Does anyone know of accessories that fit, such as a flag mount attached to the upper and lower locations?
This is the only thing I've seen so far. Other's that say they 'use the accessory mount' actually replace the outer bolts.
I would be hesitant of this design. A single bolt in the upper and lower hinges don’t seem strong enough. I suspect this is why other options utilize the hinge bolts also.
Any true & honest feedback of this support? Not promoter garbage.

There certainly appear to more "sturdy" options than the the buckle up device. I've noticed Turn Offroad has two variant flag mounts, both of which have only an upper and lower bolted attachment, one is for slow speeds, one states it can hold a flag at highway speeds. But it's not holding a heavy object.
What I know is the center mount is threaded into the heavy duty hinge, so it will have some strength to it.

Okay so update. I called back to San Tan Ford (Gilbet, AZ) today and he said they're still not in the system; showing up not available. So the order he said with my name on it is... perpetually impending? So... man I want it for that price but I can't wait forever.
Well body shop forgot to paint one hinge so I’m waiting for that to finish. But I got one hinge back. I can’t wait to get them on!
btw for those of you that install this already how do the rubber bumpers remove and reinstall in the new hinges?

Mine just popped out. There's two little nubs that go in the holes on the hinge.Well body shop forgot to paint one hinge so I’m waiting for that to finish. But I got one hinge back. I can’t wait to get them on!

i finally got mine in. Its been sitting at the dealer for 3 weeks and no one knew about it. I opened it up and inspected everything. It looks like I got a good one. I went ahead and chased all the m8 holes out, they for sure needed it. I went aheaqd and chased the M6 center holes as well, just in case i use them in the future. My question is, why does one hinge have M6 holes on the top and bottom, and the other doesnt? I was reading the install instructions and it wasnt mentioned that the hinges are different. Any Ideas?
