Home made spare tire mount for 37" + tire

Post by 2wagons1driveway » Wed Apr 08, 2015 10:49 am

Hey all! Started making this spare tire mount last night with some bits I had laying at home and a nice new 1" threaded bar and nut. Modeling it after a fab tech or strapt style one. Don't see much dedicated spare solutions so I figured id post mine! Please add some criticism or suggestions! I liked this design because if I need full bed capacity I can just remove it and I have a 1" hole left over that's it! Have to weld it the nut today on the rear cross member under the bed and drill the hole...also wanted to make my own to save like 300$ because the Canadian dollar is super crappy right now with the oil pricing so low!!!

thinking I'll add some rubber to the Wing handle washer to reduce tendency to vibrate free from the actual hub plate. And maybe use some old studs from my wheel bearings through the nuts to really keep that sucker steady when boogeying...had issues with keeping a spare ratcheted down when playing a few weeks ago...

added bed supports and some friction taped handles love how nice the bed supports are to grab and hoist yourself up now!
