1st Gen Spare Tire Mounts...Let's See Them!

What rack is that??? It’s a beaut

 

Thank you thank you! It's from UpTop and I believe it's the Bravo...I'd have to check on that though. But they have some great racks!

 

updated photo for mine. i went from one in the bed to dual stand ups.

 

Not to take away from the awesome truck above , here's mine it's a modified trail gear.

 

nice rig. i wish mine was 4x4. i would have gone a completely different route

 

nice

 

Damn that's a beast CO2. 20 lber?

 

I believe it was a 15lbs . That's actually the last trip on the swingout for it. I didn't refill it before I left, I figured I had enough to take care of myself but I ended up helping out a newbie and ran out of air before the trip was over and of course I didn't bring a backup pump. Anyways one of the guy was kind enough to help out had a new 12cfm twin pump that automatically stopped at your desired pressure. Man that was pretty dang fast . Between the pumps being faster and cordless impacts punching pretty high, for me the C02 is just kinda outdated. And I needed the space for gas so..

Part of the old can holder was used to make a bumper for the can holders, I'm bad about backing up into things so hopefully I'll help.
Also everyone make sure you go through and check all the welds on high stress areas. When @Yacob_D "who did the welding and built the can holder for me shut the swingout noticed that the tire carrier had rusted and was cracking. So he completely welded and braced the mount it was previously a bolt on design. Hopefully that will last for a while..it would have been very bad to have lost a tire going down the freeway.

 

Ah yeah I always have an ARB single under the hood for my front locker and as my "backup" in case CO2 runs out. I run a 10lb and can fill the tires maybe 8ish times from 10-35psi.

Is the compressor they had this one?

It's what I run for the Bronco and it's super quick. CO2 combined with the quad setup is super quick too. It takes me more time to setup the quad than actually inflate, maybe a minute when I crank the reg to 250 psi.

 

It was this one.

The morel system and the co2 was crazy fast for sure. I could fill 2 rigs all 4 tires while some were still on there first or 2nd tire

 

Built this bumper and tire carrier as my first welding project a few months ago. Super simple build, loving it so far.

 

Sturdy and extremely HD to carry a full size 40” spare.
