Well, you made it, Bro. That is what counts. I bought mine new for $25 on Ebay with free shipping. I welded on the mounting bracket by adding more metal to the bracket to make it stronger. I added bigger grade 8 bolts. They will never rust. If it is an accident the spare is not going anywhere!!!

I'm going to build a roof rack, so that's where my recovery gear is going along with my spare. Let's see if my roof will take the weight without warping

nice tailgate, makes it easy to see when backing on a tight trail.. I think the handles on the carrier are a little excessive(big) but great ideas otherwise.
