Spare Tire Carrier for 2nd gen (uses OEM bed bolts)

I made this today for a 2nd gen Tacoma. The 2 front feet bolt to the factory bed bolts to disperse the weight of a big spare tire and wheel on the composite bed. This should eliminate any "pull through" that some aftermarket carriers are known for. This will work with any size tire/wheel and are available as of now. The feet are thick 1/4" plate and the frame consists of 1-3/4" and 1-1/2" 120 wall. Handle is 1-1/4" and fully capped. $225 + shipping (calculated by area)

The next one will have the 2 main tubes the tire sits on bolted to the front frame to keep shipping costs down. This will allow it to break down and be shipped in the shape of a lower rectangle unlike this one that was calculated as a big square. It'll make the difference of about $40 vs $100 like this one was.

 

Dang that looks sweet. By normal bed do you mean 5ft or 6ft bed?

If I didnt just buy an NFAB one I'd be all over this.

 

I edited my post to eliminate any confusion. This one pictured fits the wider bolts found on the normal bed, and I can also make them fit the narrower bolts found on the short beds. There is less room in those beds. This will fit any size tire/wheel.

 

Yea. Most on here will run a 33" or 35" spare.

Sweet design. Some longbeds come with the 6' bed too though.

 

damn thats nice! id be interested later on down tha road. i spent all my money on a relentless fab front bumper, and now im really wantin a rear bumper+sliders. Damn im going to be broke tha rest of my life!.. would you be able to ship these??

 

Dang, that looks good!

 

Nice to finally see a angled tire holder that wont rip from the bed

 

I could do something similar, except it would use the 2 rear bed bolts instead of the wide front ones.

Thanks Chris.


And yes cohrmundt , more than willing to ship. I haven't calculated shipping on it yet.

 

Looks nice!

 

I'm thinking about $225. I'll be shipping this one today so I'll know more later.

Thanks, I like it too.

 

Love the look of it and i've sent you a pm. Any pics of it mounted in the bed? Also, is there any way you could make it quick disconnect. i.e. quick and easy to take the whole thing in or out for sale, throwing my quad in the bed? lmk
thanks

 

I definitely wanna buy this.

 

that looks bad ass...too bad I got a tonneau cover...if I didn't I would be all over this...

bump for bad @ss craftsmanship and quality...

 

Haha I know how you feel man. I just got rid of my tonneau cover last week.

 

Exactly what I have been looking for!! Any pics in a long bed?

 

EFFIN SWEET!!! I would love to purchase one in the future

 

Do you have any pictures of it mounted in the bed of the truck? I would love to see how it looks. Depending on that might look into ordering one from you.

 

I might want one of them as well but want to see it in a bed
