Don't exactly know if anyone has thougth of this but...i was under my truck replacing the shocks when i had to take out the spare tire carrier which is three peices altogether. Has anyone ever thought of just flipping that over and adding L brackets to the "hoop" and bolting it to the bed instead. I guess its kinda a poor mans tire carrier.

 

interesting idea the ends of it tho you wold have to change really look at them there different both of them. oh well mine has been in the garbage a long time ago no need for it...

 

I thought someone here had done that already.. I actually think it was when GEC was up and running.. Prob a few years ago at this point.

 

yea well the thig would work if i loked correctly and if you painted it right it would look just as good as the next one. just gotta get the brackets right.

 

Sounds good. Poors mans one just throws it in the bed with nothing lol.

Mine was taken off and now its on zach Strait axle lol

 

yep mine just chills in the bed thats it

 

I packed mine in the box with all my super lift parts.. LOL

 

+1

 

mine broke a while ago... just snapped off right at the hinge.

 

haha...yea...whats a spare tire?????

 

The extra tiresw hanging underneath the rear of your truck................

 

That is a pretty neat idea but for $100 or whatever the bed carriers cost I would rather have that for looks sake!!

 

or.......you could buy my jeep spare tire holder

 

crap....mine only cost $120......for the price of material unless you have it laying around ..........

and the one that Doc is talking about is for the newer trucks with the cable holder.....
