Spare Tire Mounts

[genetix_drftr]

I was wondering how you guys mount your spares. I did some research online and may do it this way

You never seen a jeep with a spare over the rear bumper against the tailgate?

 

[genetix_drftr]

Yes that is the way they are usually mounted. my truck has issuestipping over now as it is. i dont want to add more weight to it and make the problem worse.

"Build it the way you want it to look then learn to drive it". Words from a guy in our club that neither of us will ever out due. You and I just need more practice. Watch some of the guy's next time we're out and learn from them. I watched taller and narrower rigs that never missed a gate. You and I my friend suck lol. More practice for both of us and then maybe we can stop competing for last place... Put the spare where it looks right...

i am going to put it on the drivers side, there isnt enough room to fit it between the bumper as pictured. hopefully geting a new steering servo in the next few weeks and then you will come in 10th place. lol (prolly not but we will see)

I could come in last place every time and not ever care. I'm there to have fun, and I've been doing very well at that!

Lol ya I enjoy going out and hanging out. Don't really care bout winning too much. I don't have the time to get a lot of practice. Nor do I have anywhere to really practice.

The spare tire and mount came in today.

I decided the back would be the best place for it.

Glad you went with it in the back. To bad you mounted it to low and every time you go off a sharp drop off you'll hang up :lmao: It's ok, Al will pull you out "thumbsup"

 

[genetix_drftr]

didn't think about that. i as just trying to center it. i can always move it up, but it only hangs down less than a mm below the body.

Ya could always do a hood mounted spare..
Just saying..

 

[rustneversleeps]

Or you just put inside the jeep in the left rear quarter panel like the XJ's or the right rear....

I tried mounting it on the hood but it was really tall.
