Well - got the call at 11:30 in the afternoon that 4 Wheel Parts had my item delivered.. so I scooted out to go pick it up.. got back right at 2:45 and had to jump into my work clothes and scoot off to work - got home about 12:30am and was finally able to begin the process of installing the VT Tiregate! The always standard "Before" picture set! Attachment 146486 Attachment 146487 And since its literally a bolt on - there was no need for intermediary pictures - just a finished product.. plus some extras ;) In the later pictures, notice the lights I finally installed below the tiregate - only took a bit less then 45 minutes to get it drilled in and lit up with my daylight running lights. Attachment 146488 Attachment 146489 Attachment 146490 Attachment 146491 *8 No, I don't have a full size spare yet - I have some of my old 265/75/16's but not going to bother mounting those up - I'll see about ordering up a matching wheel + tire on the next paycheck.. but that's a good 300-350 bucks for that and I'm not sure if I can afford that right off the bat. |
sweet! i like it. but ya get a tire on there already.
|
Tempted to throw up one of my stock ones - the suck part is itll be wierd runnign a stock teardrop wheel on there.. bleh, not sure if I shoudl quickly mount it up or if I should just wait till I get a matching set..
|
Id just leave it till you get a fullsize spare. Looks great!
|
looks great man!
|
Looks great. I always wanted one of the preunner ones.
|
nice!!!
|
looks strong, is it heavy?
|
looks great man! but wont a big enough spare block the lights you just installed? lol
|
I think those look alright but I hate the spare tires sticking straight up and down. Wouldn't be too bad if it was slanted a few degrees.

looks good man, how long did it take to get it in? about a week? i may have to order one to somewhere in buffalo and pick it up sometime soon. i dont want to pay the redic canada prices |
Yep, took just shy of a week through 4WP to get it ordered up - free shipping for me...
Works great - it is sort of heavy - the shipping box itself weighed probably 70-75 pounds give or take.. enough for one person to manhandle.. putting it together is pretty easy, really self explanitory with teh botls provided, the instructions sort of suck but with a little know-how you can get it set up pretty easily. Other then that, It works great!! |
awsome, love those things
|
damn, i just looked at hte prerunner gate on 4wp and its 835.99, only $100 less then in canada, so after exchange, its almost the same price
|
kinda tempted to get this. i need a place for my spare anyways. but holy f not for 750$. Tempted to make my own

Hey Mikey....what you doing with your old gate?
|
Gotta keep it just in case I think - since its full color matched and rhino lined to match my bed, would have to pay a ton of money to replace it if I ever decide to go back or put this stock if (god forbid) I decide to sell it for a newer rig..
Whats your plans with it if ya needed one? |
I'm taking the idea from a friend....tailgate full of emblems hangin' up on my shop wall. lol.
|
haha cool stuff - WOuld be quick and easy to hit the junk yard.. but ugh, yeah - even that woudl be expensive :-D
|
hahahah. I know! I want a decent gate..hopefully i find a DWB at a upullit someday. lol. Worth a shot anyhow tryin' to nab yours off ya. lol.
|
AN update on this: Just ordered up a full size spare from Tirerack... Matching wheel + tire, free mounting, and only 38 bucks shipping from nevada saves me tiem and effort of trying to track down a wheel from one store, and a tire from another..
Should be here by the end of the week, and I'll toss it on and post more pictures :-) |
