89eliminator Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 you could bend up some tubing and make your own. i did that and used an old hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89eliminator Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 or get a Fabtech one, $148.99...http://www.performanceproducts4trucks.com/productpage.aspx?pid=102343 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjcrazy09 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I love my Fabtech rear tire carrier except for the fact that it takes up bed room, but thats part of having a 35" spare. I would recommend it to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonedef131 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I just strap mine in off to the side of the bed, behind the cab but in front of the wheel well. This way I don't really have to sacrifice bed space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 alrighty, i snapped a few for ya. i bent the tubing with a bender we had at high school. welded on a giant bolt to hold the hub. luckily the hub was frozen, so the tire doesnt want to spin :D i had probably $15 into it. we had the tubing lying around, so i had to buy all the hardware. This was my first time welding, so that is why the welds are sub-par. Its bolted through the bed, not just the bedliner :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
