The Lair

Smoke signals FTW!!

 

Hmmm, you could stand it vertical against the back of the cab, and secure it to the bed rail. Would still leave a lot of bed space and you wouldn't be top heavy at all

edit: jk buy this, it's awesome

I thought I saw a pic one time of a tire carrier that fits up against the front of the bed. Not too concerned about bed space at the moment. Maybe I could find something quick release in case I ever actually have to haul something.

 

You don't need a traditional tailgate

Damn, you are the man, I actually have never seen that but I am digging it. 800 is a tough pill to swallow but it would fit my style perfectly.

Tire Carrier Tailgate

 

Yeah it's pretty damn cool. @Nimble9 has a similar set up and really likes it. Gets the benefit of a swingout without the hassle of opening a swingout and then lowering the tailgate.

 

It went up to 3rd on my purchase list behind sliders and IFS skid.

 

I like this, but I wish it swung down instead of sideways. I'm making my own I think. Currently my spare is strapped to my backrack, headache rack thing. Seeing out the rear view is basically impossible though.

 

That would make your tailgate fooking HEAVY though. Opening and closing that thing would be such a bitch.

 

Howdy folks! Checking in after a 4 day hiatus. Went on a mini vacation for my buddy’s bachelor party.

 

#NotaBro. Can actually lift things.









But yeah it'll be heavy.

 

Better hit the squat rack in the gym to get it back up.....lol

 

Welcome back! I just ordered some 295 tires to replace my 255, and got my 4LO PRO plates in, as well as more Lair stickers. That's about all I can think of on my end.

Haha yeahhhhh. Closing that 100lb tailgate is gonna get old real quick.

 

guess you haven't seen these then.

 

You have 17s or 16s?

And that’s gotta count for some #EAF points!

 

17s! So if you know anyone that wants some lightly used 255/80r17 and a matching spare on a steelie for $700, lemme know.

 

Thought so. Can you even get a 295 in a 16?

I would but I have 16s and so I would have to spend even more on wheels and my wallet is hurting. Lol

 

You can! The selection is pretty slim though. I would have gotten these ones if I wanted a 295 16
