Google Search (click here)

There are also more complicated custom systems that you would have to look through the vendor section for, or make yourself. You can also hire a local fabricator to make you something.

As far as I understand it, your two options are the Curt style hitch mount or a custom bumper.

Or a custom solution are the main ways we tackle this problem.

I personally just strap mine to the roof with ratchet straps. :flex dirty:

Better make sure that tire is real tightly held next time. Where's Murphy now? :slap:

I can make one for half of their asking price + shipping. It will be the folding model like the curt. Let me know thanks, Neil.

You've peaked my interest, but I'm a tad confused. Do you mean to say that you can make a Curt style spare tire mount for the hitch or do you mean to say that you can make a custom bumper with spare tire mount? Thanks.

We can produce either. If you look in the vendor section I already have a bumper design posted. But if someone were to prefer one of the hitch mount tire carrier since it cost a lot less money, we will be happy to make it. Thanks Neil.

Hmm... Neil, I'll be talkin' to ya soon, whether it be a tube bumper w/ swinging carrier or this folding hitch mounted one. I need somethin' to get that tire out of the back for some much needed space...

Neil, if ya see this post first check out your tube bumper thread and let me know what you think... I'd love to give you some business.
