Any body got a good picure or diagram of a factory spare tire carrier?

I just pulled mine out from under my truck last night. It was pretty beaten up and abused (somehow) but I can easily get pictures and diagrams this afternoon for you.

Incidentally, here's the spare that had been riding around under there for who knows how long. (it wasn't nearly that clean when I pulled it out though.)

I'm sorry it is pretty bent up....but at least it will give you an idea how it was laid out.

It hung from the (bent) T-bolt and ran from the large hole in the far right rear to a long bolt in the smaller hole just behind the track bar mount on the left rear.

I hope that helps.

Those things are so awkward to use! I HATE the ones on my trucks!

I agree. I'm not a big fan of the stock carrier. You could whip up something like I did on the cheap. I've got $20.00 something bucks invested in this. The winch came of a Mitsubishi truck. Some scrap metal, little welding, some bolts & nuts, and no more cussing the stock set-up! I set it up so the the crank rod is on the passenger side of the truck.

I wish I could find the step side fender that has the spare tire carrier on it . Even though I am not sure those were used on long bed stepsides like mine I would use it in a minute .
