After looking for some time for a good
spare tire carrier that can hold something bigger than a 235 size tire I became
quite disgusted. You see it is easy to find a good carrier if you
have $500 or more. After looking closely at these in magazines, catalogs,
and the back of Jeeps I thought these are nothing more than some steel and
bolts. I decided I was going to make my own. So I drew up some
plans and did it. It came out real good and survived the first trail ride.
By the way It cost me about $60.
The shopping list.
-
Steel (I used about 9 feet of
2" square tubing, some flat steel, and some angles)
-
Bolts and a Pin (I picked some of
these up at a Farm and Tractor supply store nearby)
-
Paint
The biggest investment was time,
I estimate it took 20 to 25 hours of cutting fitting and welding to get this
thing together (a lot more time and effort than I had imagined.
