I've been working on my tire carrier for a while and now it is almost finished. I only have a few things left to do and then I can final weld it all up. It mounts in two places to the body and two to the the bumper. It is designed to hinge down on the lower bumper mounts to be able to access the rear hatch. I made a place to mount the jack and the tire iron. I may add a piece of tube to slide a shovel into, but haven't decided yet. I also need to clean up a few of my brackets and smooth some edges with the grinder.
This mount is where the point of the jack slides in. I still need to make some sort of latch system to keep this end of the jack from lifting out of its pocket. I may just add some tie downs and a piece of webbing.
Handy little tire iron holder. When the tire is on it pushes up against the iron.
With the jack mounted
Finally, a full sized spare (36x12.50 for me). This tire was free thanks to my good buddy Allan. He actually got me two and Mike two. They were a set, but had some bad cupping so we split them up and made them spares. And no nothing is broken on my rear axle.
