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

I really like this idea. Mainly because you're not married to the tire carrier. And it's just clean:

 

^x2, dmz does very clean work!

 

PM'd ya.

 

Looks nice. Best looking IMO so far. But a Scion plate frame??

 

Looks Great.

 

^^^ yeah, that's a sick setup.

 

my set up...lol

 

Nice mounts guys....so whats the major advantage of having one of these?

I would think for more ground clearance, weight further back for balance, and having 2 spares. But some sink into the bed so the ground clearance is not much more in that case?

 

the reason they sink in the bed is to lower the center of gravity, having the weight back there makes it smoother. and it still increases ground clearance

 

Mainly it right there. Plus some of these guys run 35's and even one 35" will not fit under the truck

 

I was gonna say that too lol. When I do mine I will probably only do a single spare cause in not super gnar. If I blow a wheel out I think I will call it a day

 

and thats how you know when your a pussy.

 

I see thx guys. Maybe I'll put one of these on the list. I was thikin of gettin some bags to leave in bed so theres some more weight back there...

Go for 3! That would be super sick gnar gnar....



Oh and are there any cool ones with the tailgate in? That does have weight, plus looks good when new lol...maybe less bro-ish?

 

i like what outlaw offroad offers for the raptor... keep the tailgate intact

something similar could easily be made for the tacoma

the giant cage keep the tailgate too, but you have no need for that if you dont need the cage for the suspension

You just have 2 so you will be able to mount both your spares dually style to help get you unstuck from the backside of Olds

 

Have an 03 Tacoma and was wondering if anybody has a place to order one from! Looking for one to go on my bed kind of slanted post some pics thx!!

 

Fabtech used to make the slanted bolt on mount. I recall back in the day folks complaining about it warping the bed from offroading. I'm sure 4 wheel parts still has them online.
