i made it out of 1 inch tubing. It looks exactly like the Fabtech angled tire mount just with a hub in the center.

Here is my newly rebuilt 89 Eliminator. I just finished a spare tire mount for the bed that i will have pics for in a few days. i was doing some flexing when i got it done in the ditch. I also did a little wheelin in the snow and it did awesome!

I got some pics of my spare tire mount on page 2.
Update: i got 6.5 coils and 4.5 in leafs from rustys now and rides and flexes great. Here are some new pics. the last one is when i had to haul my woods project back to school. it was pretty gnarly with just resting on the spare. and i got a rustys intake with K&N filter
I was leaning toward the fabtech one. i think that it would look the coolest because you don't see many trucks with a spare tire mounted in the bed like that. I think that it is around $100 but i willo probably make one.
I am in the process of converting my 89 eliminator to 4wd. I have a dana 44 for the rear and a dana 30 for the front. I am also putting a 6 inch lift with 33inch bfg mud terrains. It is a 4.0 and is automatic. I was wondering if you can bolt or get an adapter to put the transfer case in.
i live about 20 minutes SW of milwuakee. Its called Waterford. We are leaving really early on Friday. I was going to bring my 89 Eliminator but couldn't find a co-pilot and didn't feel like driving down by myself.
are you going? If you are, then look for a group with a red willys, blue powerstroke, black duramax, red dodge all with wisconsin plates. maybe we can talk comanches
