    Spare tire mount options?

    For our tires, you have to fabricate something. I doubt you will ever find off the shelf stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spare tire mount options?

    Coach, While your ideas are possible, they won’t work in my set up. I think I can handle rolling a tire and using a shovel to get it back on. Plus, I have 6 tires. I am going to have to roll most likely anyway. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spare tire mount options?

    That is definitely a diverse set of pictures. That deck one is pretty neat, but not in my KISS requirement. The yellow truck is closed to what I am thinking, but the tire bottoms will be at top of frame height. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks Chucky for the response. The tires will be resting on top of two frame rails that extend back. So, I can build a cradle for the tires or a bolt plate. Pretty much any option is open. Just trying to decide which way to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spare tire mount options?

    Thanks! That looks great. Anyone else tackle this project? I would like a way to mount bicycles and/or a dirt bike at some point as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spare tire mount options?

    I am planning out how to mount 2 spare tires on the back of my rig. At one time I considered having two of the factory hydraulic units welded center to center, but the weight seamed excessive. Right now I am leaning toward a davit crane and two cradles. Any major reason not to use a cradle...
