Spare Tire Carriers Hitch Mount.
GREETINGS,
Anyone run one of these or something like this? I'm seeking something to hold a 33" or 35" x 12.5 tire. Ideas or info greatly appreciated. http://www.truckcandy.com/TC/TireGate/HitchGate.htm

Re: Spare Tire Carriers Hitch Mount.
Wow, that thing is gonna bee a jigglly sucker. All that weight in the hitch I can only emagine how much shaken and wigglin it would doo off the pavement
 I am guessing, never see one upclose. For your rig I would get something custom built, not a bolt on pre-fabed deal..there are alot of custom fab shops that could whip somethig up. I made mine..took me a month or two but I made it

Re: Spare Tire Carriers Hitch Mount.
BURT 4X4 is totally on the money
I have one (no swing away) that attahes to a reese style hitch (came with the truck)-- It is great for saving space --but man does it make noise lol-- even with a 'tight fit' etc-- Too much weight for that little square hole lol My 2 cents. Jon |

Re: Spare Tire Carriers Hitch Mount.
Yeah they are fun to make arent they....I mounted mine onto the roll cage.
there is no jiggle at all (so far). It started life as a 50 roll bar on craigslist from a S10 I think

Re: Spare Tire Carriers Hitch Mount.
The place i bought mine from is no longer around, it was called 4x4Iron
But if you google 1000lb trailer spindel tire carrier you will see what I used. The shakle bars were about 6-8" long and they are welded inside and out. Ithink I left about 1 1/2" sticking out of the bumper and the rest of it is welded up inside not only on the bumper itself but the frame mounts too so when I am pullng from thoes shakels I am directly pulling from the frame. Good Luck

Re: Spare Tire Carriers Hitch Mount.
You can get a pretty sweet builders kit from AtoZ fab with a 1k or bigger spindle and the wheel plate and clamp and everything here:
http://www.atozfabrication.com/store...lders-Kit.html I used that in conjunction with a $50 roll bar from an S10 cut-up and yes it swings away. Also can use tailgate to set tire on when bolting on or off the mount

Re: Spare Tire Carriers Hitch Mount.
This is an old ad i cut from a magazine a few years ago. Sorry for the crappy scan... thought it was a good idea though.

Re: Spare Tire Carriers Hitch Mount.
This came with my new ride. 33x12/50-15 is what this had on it. Spare is in back for now. Notice the two hitch outlets.
