Description
Sprinter Van Tire Carrier by OWL Vans – 2007-2018
The Owl Vans tire carrier for Sprinters bolts to the hinges and installs in minutes without drilling. Used by some of the industry’s top outfitters, this carrier is rock solid. We meticulously engineered multiple articulation points to allow normal use of the door so there are no latches or bulky bumpers to install (and kill your departure angle!). The Owl carrier attaches to the hinges and replaces the magnetic catch on the door. Installs in just a few minutes. Patent Pending.

Product Detail
Owl Vs. Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier – The majority of tire carriers on the market today are bumper-mounted systems. These systems are complex and have a number of drawbacks compared to our simple bolt-on system.
Simplicity and Weight – Our rack is just over 20lbs. By eliminating a massive bumper, you eliminate a lot of bulk and weight.
Price – While we are not a budget product, the cost of just a tire carrier or just a box carrier is always going to be substantially less than the cost of a bumper AND a tire/box combo.
Innovation
The Owl Tire Carrier is the first structurally mounted carrier to open with the door. Many long hours of engineering went into making our carriers dead simple to use. Our key innovation was the use of a double articulating sway link on the door (where the magnetic catch used to be). This link allows the carrier to open with the door while also moving semi-independently, thus you don’t have to unlatch the carrier to open the door! In the end, you don’t have to understand it to love it
Departure Angle
The last thing you want to do is limit the abilities of your 4×4 by adding a huge bumper. Owl Carriers maintain the factory departure angle while almost all bumper mounts will decrease it substantially. When a bumper hangs low off the back of the vehicle it limits the grade a 4×4 can go up or down.
