Spare tire bumper mounted carrier

Posted

Been thinking about this idea ever since I made my rear bumper. My spare tire has always been in the bed, it can't fit in original spot because of 5" exhaust and the tire holder rotted away long ago. 

So I've been studying up on this idea and looking at different setups. Comp4x4 sells heavy duty hinge kit but currently closed due to moving. I thought about using bushing stock also but not set on that yet, then there is the trailer hub/spindle idea. Just wanted to see opinions, good, bad.... not only on what to use but the whole idea in general  :stirthepot:

Edit 

Some ideas

      Mount it to the front bumper like the old Ford Camper Specials. It'll double as a winter cold front and the deer will just bounce off. Ideas..... I'm full of em

      i had one, it worked great and could be flipped to sit in the bed or out of the bed.  only thing is it lengthened the truck and you have to run a catch net in front of it if carrying small things (no

    What happens when you need to pull a gooseneck?  That's when I want a spare the most.

    Well I like multiple options, so I would build 2 versions...ha

    I dont tow very much so being in or around the goose neck wouldnt be to bad. I really thought about making a roof rack and welding it onto my flatbed rack (maybe detachable) This is a rough idea (below) image.png.70732827b2c6642fe6177cebc6b0a256.png

    I'm still debating this idea, may just make a jig to hold the tire upright inside of box by wheel well or something. When truck is in garage, it will be impossible to get in the back like I can now. I have enough room to drop tailgate and another foot for me, with a swing mount I'll have to open garage door. :cry:

    After all the pictures. I just sit back and wonder how much longer my factory OEM spare tire (Michelin) is going to last. It only been on the ground 3 times for less than 100 miles. Looks new. But the tire is over 17 years old now. Do I need a spare not really I so rarely use the one I've got.

    Mike needs an extra work stall built on to his garage. He could be the guy with all the money in his little town doin the good work he does.
