Metalmiller Tire Rack

hmmm..might have to place an order this week

 

Neat product MetalMiller! Can the threads accept security lugs?

I know my spare will just be a bitch PITA to get out if I ever need it, especially in the dark. I like the idea of a tire carrier that doesn't sacrifice much bed space. I just need it to be secure so the spare can't get lifted easily.

Are these custom made for each tire size? I have the stock spare now and I run 265/75R16s on the road wheels. I should just bump up the stock. Yes...that is what I'll do.

-Thanks!

 

I'm looking into locking mechanisms.... anyone have any suggestions? I could easily add a bracket to the mount for a chain or bike lock or maybe use the tie down loops for preventing theft. I'm open to all suggestions!

My racks come in different sizes depending on the tire size you need. If you run 2 different tires, let me know and we can work something out.

 

I like this...how much does it weigh? And I guess you could mount it to the front rail also???

 

I'll have to send out different mounting brackets, but yes... you could definately mount it to the front rail.

 

Why would it need different brackets for the front rail? Same rail on the front and sides.

 

My guess would be you can't just slide it in the rail because of the bedsides so it would probably have to be a 2 piece backplate for the front of the bed.

 

where do i pace my order and how do i pay for it

 

The reason it would be a different back plate is that the piece that slides into the rails is about 5 inches long and is going to be too long to get in that rail under the window... I'd just make two smaller plates to replace the longer one.

To place an order please send the following info to metalmillerorders@gmail.com:

1-TW username
2-Your Name
3- Spare tire size
4- Shipping Address
5- Paypal email address (I'll send you and invoice that way)

I will be shipping some out next week.

 

Just a reminder, today is the last day for free shipping.

 

What a great product!! Let us know when you make the bracket for the front rail.

 

Emailed, looking forward to hearing back!

 

I'll make some front rail mounts tomorrow when I'm cutting some emblems... it will take me about 2 minutes to drawn it up on cad

 

just a quick thought. i'm running 245s right now, i want to upgrade to 265s. would there be a problem or should i just get it to fit 265s?

 

I'd probably go with the 265s rack for now. It might work for your 245s... and if not, you are more than welcome to buy 2

 

How do you guys feel about these things being galvanized?

 

Honestly I am going to paint my black anyways so galvanized really doesn't matter to me.

Also I realized that I will be mounting it at the front of the bed, how big of a difference does that make with the mounting hardware?

 

I'll be painting mine also.
