Spare tire carrier
My 37" spare won't fit on my spare tire carrier. I doubt it would hold up very long if it did.
I bought a Ruffstuff spare tire hinge and am planning the rack.
I'd like to see some pics of swing away carriers that are holding up with a 37" tire.
Material size/shape/wall thickness would be helpful too.
Thanks

Re: Spare tire carrier
Have you seen Dirt Lifestyle's youtube channel? Careful, it's addicting as he has some cool Fab projects. Anyway, here is the first of 3(?) videos for his tire carrier for a Disco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZANEph ... tLifestyle

Re: Spare tire carrier
Thanks. I have a bunch of 1.75x0.120 tubing. I was hoping it would be strong enough. The pics of the tire carrier help a lot.

Re: Spare tire carrier
I have had this one holding a 37 for about 4 years now and it has been fine, believe it had the Ruff Stuff pivot on it.

Re: Spare tire carrier
Thanks for the pics.
What size is the round tubing?
I like the hi lift mount. I have always had it inside the truck. I might need to rethink that.

Re: Spare tire carrier
One thing about the hi-lift inside is (with a top at least) is protected from the elements. They can be finicky little beasts with pins not sliding etc. They do make covers for the important bits tho...

Re: Spare tire carrier
Indeed. I considered it as well, but was looking at mounting it at an angle behind the tire in hope to not catch so many branches. But I also don't generally carry a bunch of stuff in my bronco.

Re: Spare tire carrier
I use my high lift as a leg on the tire carrier, the base plate is bolted to the shaft of the high lift behind the tire. It doesn't' stick out beyond the top so I have never caught it on anything.
I didn't want to add more weight to the rear when i could just use the high lift as a support since its rarely used. Two 3/4 bolts/nuts retain it for easy removal.

Re: Spare tire carrier
Round tubing is 1.5" and I think .120 wall. The only thing I regret with the Hi-Lift mount was I had to turn the top of the jack down, you can see it in the picture. When I had it up the first time I took a good chunk of of my garage door frame.

Re: Spare tire carrier
A few pics of the square tubing carrier which has carried a 35" for about 15 years.
