Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving I decided to make my spare tire mount today, that's the last thing I had to weld and grind on the inside so here goes.
first thing I did is figure out the best way to mount it and figured baja style would be the most space efficient way so I hung the tire with ratchet straps and tacked some hrew to the mounting plate to get it where I wanted it then took the tire out:
Then I added some side supports:
Welded everything down and put the tire on it to see how everything fits:
So now I just have to put the final coats of bedliner down and then cut the interior panels to fit around the new interior so I'm hoping to have that done by this week.

Big Red is a Big Beast! Love it! Also nice rear bumper, how do you like it? Also have the same one. Logansmetals in my opinion make some awesome looking and quality bumpers.
