BII spare tire carrier on Ranger?

[97Ranger_XLT]

What do you guys think, a Bronco II spare tire carrier on a Ranger?? Is it possible or has anybody got photos?? I think it would be a good way to carrier a oversize spare, hi lift and even a jerry can.

not if you plan on mounting it to the body--BAD IDEA. you don't need that much stress on your body.

get something like this and build one http://www.atozfabrication.com/store/Tire-Carrier-Swingout-Component-Builders-Kit.html

or get the awesome looking tailgate that holds a tire!

I agree, not to the body...I was looking at a lot of the Jeep type oversize spare tire carriers bumper combo. Could probably fabricate one as well. Thanks for the reply

yeah i'm gonna custom make my own, just buy that bearing kit and latch, i'm building the rest. it won't be hard if you know anything about metal work.. you have a couple more options than me..depending on if you want to keep your tailgate or not..

That is a nice rig, and that is a perfect example of what I want to do...Thanks for the photos and links. Guess I should get to work on it. I'll throw up photos when done.
