Default Spare tire carrier
I made me a tire carrier to get the spare out from under the truck. The factory hanger was crap, a pain to use and rusty. I also won't have room for the spare under there when I finally swap in a Bronco 30 gallon gas tank. I made it from some square tubing I had lying around, an old Jeep carrier and an old rotor.

Test fitted.

Bolted on with exhaust clamps.

Got a matching rim from the junkyard.

I have to say, that is one of the ugliest yet coolest thing at the same time! Lol

I feel the same way about the rest of the truck.

Nice. Does your truck run hotter with the tire on there or is it about the same?
