This is where its at ATM. Gotta get the extension rod welded on, then painted and hung.

Next up will be how to secure the rear. There are two 2-1/2" square 'loops' on the back of the rack. Was thinking either a gravity latch type of setup or maybe mounting 2 more square 'loops' to the truck (back of the hitch actually).....and just using a carabiner and/or turnbuckle.

Just kidding! The lack of a spare has been heavy on my mind since I got this truck. Especially with 8 lugs I wanted to be prepared.

Just got 4 cooper 10 ply tires and put the best (?) original to a new cheap black steel spoker. I found the original carrier at a junk yard and painted her with a thin coat of shiny black rustoleum (no prep!). Just haven't gotten to loading her underneath yet.

I figure that AAA can drop the rusty thing when I get a flat!
