Rear Bumper Swing Out Carrier that can carry full-size spare?

[seanocono]

Does anyone know of a rear bumper swing out carrier that can accommodate a full-size spare and is specifically designed for Rivians?

Optima teased some sweet looking custom bumpers for their R1 builds, but it doesn’t look like they were able to complete that part of the build before SEMA and their touring. Thank you!

I spoke to the guys from rigdsupply.com at Overland Expo East. They said they were working on a Rivian fitment. Rivian isn’t listed on their website yet but you could shoot them an email.

they make trailer hitch mounts for swing out tires. Alex Honold was modeling one.

I made one. We used it for one long weekend camping trip but haven't taken the trip on another long trip since then. Mostly because it was in service from early october till last week.

I would do a lot differently next time, but it totally works.

Any sense what the efficiency/range hit is with yours, or similar ones in general?

What would you do different?

Support on both sides of the part that swings out. I'd probably consider the through bolt to go through a brass collar to be more precise and have less play. Maybe go to a 4x2 pipe instead of the 2x2 I'm using so I could also have a bike rack on the portion that swings out. I was in a rush to get it done and haven't made one of these before.

These guys look to have a pretty robust option that may work… https://dirtcomusa.com/

Thank you to everyone who replied. I actually think Rig'd were originally planned to be a part of the Optima builds. You can see their logos on the vehicle mock-ups. I will reach out to them to see when they estimate a release date for their Rivian fitment.

Looks like Wescott sells some tire carriers, also they are willing to do custom work so maybe they would build one for you.
