Just bought a 90 4runner with the tailgate mounted spare tire. Planned on doing a 4" suspension lift and a 3" body lift and running 35" bfgs. I would like to carry a fullsize spare on the tailgate but don't know if the stock tire carrier will handle the extra weight of the tire, or if I will need to fab up a tire carrier.

you guys are gonna laugh but ive been carriying a 37" mtr on my stock carrier on my 90 runner and i did tweek it a little when the tire caught, but other than that its still tight and works
Those carriers are pretty sturdy actually - the body is extensively braced back there for the weight.
I've been carrying a 33" on the stock swing out with a 5'er mount on it for thousands of desert pre-run miles. The only issue so far is the latch loop (the part on the body) broke once. I bought 2 from the dealer (one as a spare).
