Re: Blazer Roll Bar and Spare Carrier
Smittybuilt still lists an interior roll bar for our blazers. But I'd say the S&W kit would be stronger. As far as a stock style swing away tire carrier that bolts to the body, I don't think anybody still makes a kit. Your best bet is looking in the boneyards for both. I've found Blazer roll bars in the stock form (73-75), the rear roll bars from 76-80 and various aftermarket bars in the boneyard. I think I've seen a couple spare tire carriers, but I've never liked how they stress the body when holding a larger than stock tire.
Your best bet on a swing away tire carrier is to look at some of the custom bumpers sold on the web through fab shops like DIY4X.com and others. They mount the swing arm to the bumper on a much heavier duty hinge than the old body mounted arms did.
