    Since my ARB Bumper can’t really support a spare tire swing out, got to work on a spare tire mounting solution to free up some bed space. Pretty backyard engineered, but it beats paying $1600 for a Wilco tiregate.

    Still working on it, more to follow when we are done with it.

    Alright doll-face, c'mon and bore me!
    Looks pretty good to me for "backyard engineering". I was expecting it to be made out 2x4s. Wait, maybe that's redneck engineering. I forget. :confused:

    Seriously, very nice solution to your problem.

    @Ruminator LOL Appreciate it boss, I dig it. Mostly just need it to work and hold up. The 2x4 on the bed was to give me the gap between the bed floor and tire.

    I was going to plasti-dip the chrome tip as well, but was not sure about the exhaust heat on the dip, is it ok, will it hold up? if so will do that tonight.

    Did you just use the existing power from the lighter socket when connecting this or did you run wires to the fuse panel or battery directly?

    I used the existing wires. I cut the OEM clip wires as close to the clip and I could, then stripped/crimped the blue connectors that came with the device. There was a purple wire (positive) and a striped wire (negative) that I then just connected to the charger device. Easy peezy.

    After reading some TW posts about the Homelink rear view mirror, I ordered a previously-owned model from Bob’s Automotive Mirrors last week. It arrived today and looks brand-new. The whole installation process-removal of the original mirror, installation of the Homelink mirror, and programming of the 3 door buttons-couldn’t have taken more than 30 minutes. A small, but useful mod!
