Scalped Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 My under the bed tire carrier is broke. It had at one time a donut spare. I would like to fix it but was wondering if will handle a full size tire. If not I'll go another route. Thx Steve Eggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

coolwind57 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 By the way, I rebuilt mine after loosing my full-size tire going down the highway. When that tire dropped on me, it momentarily lodged under my rear bumper at highway speeds and literally catapulted my rear end skyward. I had no idea what happened other than maybe a Sumo wrestler ran out in front of me that I didn't see and I ran over and killed him. Several of us use ratchet straps as a backups for the tire carrier. Highly recommend this. My tire could had went through someone's windshield. I feel very lucky. Grab a full-size tire. Rebuild that carrier instead of replacing with a junkyard unit. You'll better know the condition on the internals. On mine, I installed a new stainless steel cable, POR-15'd it and lubed the heck out of it. Ratchet strap that bad-boy after getting your tire in place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
