Re: tire carrier hubs
I think most bought this kit.... http://www.emsoffroad.com/store/index.p ... e7d61f7177 .
It is the most complete kit I have found and it is of nice quality.

Re: tire carrier hubs
That's a nice kit CC. Are you taking about a D44 hub? I have just a normal hinge, but wish I would have used a hub so you can lock it in any position. Mine is from Slee Offroad, but not sure he sells just the hinges anymore.

Re: tire carrier hubs
both of mine, tire and gas rack are rockstompers.
I believe that is what I paid,also bought the big heavy D ring mounts from him. I prefer the look of the larger mount, not really any stronger me thinks, just more appealing to my eye.

Re: tire carrier hubs
I put a few of these together for some friends who went with plate bumpers. They look nice and can be locked in multiple positions. GM or Jeep 44 hubs have a thicker wall and are better suited for this purpose. I used Dana 30 spindle and stub axle for the anchor point. The grease seal hasn't been installed yet and is weather tight when complete.

You know, I was looking at the one Justin had on the tech day and it looks like a trailer spindle. I would check with a local trailer shop and see if they can get that kind for you.
I do like the lockout hub type also, gives it a personal touch.
I bet a tractor supply store would sell the spindle set as well.
