Spare Tire Mount Fix/Improvement

[racsan]

i had to use a end wrench to get the bolt out to lower the carrier before i went to a bed mounted spare, the receiver hitch is just 2" away from the bolt head that holds the "trapese" arm up, originaly it was ment for the tire iron to be used, but thats impossible once a receiver hitch is put on. i never though about putting my spare behind the wheel well, not sure if it would work with the cap & the rake (angle) of the rear door glass.

Excellenté!! Sad, but I actually googled how to get that funky e thing

If you could send me one that would be great. How much to ship to Saskatoon, Sk, Canada, S7K 1B4?

I'll be back at the junkyard on Saturday morning. I'll get the eye bolt then and get it mailed hopefully on Monday.

I'll need your exact address, though. So could you PM it to me?

now that i have a longbed i mount my tire behind the wheelwell in the bed,upright along the left side. use heavy rubber straps to secure it. have a home made receiver hitch under the rear of truck and spare wont fit there now, in fact i removed the carrier before i built the hitch.
