Well, i was lookin for a way to hold the spare tire in the bed of my truck... Well i found two that i like.

one is the rat cage brand:

and the other is a tailgate carrier:

i like the second one the best, but they are almost 900 bucks.. any one got any ideas where i can find one fore cheaper? or something like it?

 

i vote the rat cage, they are badass.. and strong as hell

 

Yeah, im thinkin this also.. Although it takes up most of the bed, so i would have to get a roof rack i guess

 

Fabtech makes one, which isn't too expensive, I've seen them around 100$, and I think truckinsuspension also has one and it's around 80$ I think. I got tired of high price's so I made my own.

 

yeah..I just figure its easier to buy one.. i dont have the tools to make my own

 

i've got the fabtech one... $100 shipped.

 

Hey everyone... would any of you be willing to email me pics of your spair tire carriers? Oh and I also need pics of your trucks with roof racks if you have one on, and the camper shells. thank you all!! pm me for my email

 

Does anyone have plans to build a carrier? A pic of one that you built? I am thinking about building one and any help would be great.

 

have people post them in here for all to see.. i'll start. Mines a regular old angled spare carrier. its from ORI, but im not sure they are around anymore. its in my avy pic, but heres some more. I put it as far back as i could go with a 35" spare and close the tailgate. so if you have a smaller spare you could go even further back or forward to the cab to keep space in the bed.



old pics of it

 

Thanks for the pic!
