I don't know. I think I saw a speck of dust on the left fuel tank strap....
Really nice looking truck!
Nailhead, I forget what size tires you are running. The stock tires fit the spare mount perfectly. Anything wider or taller will not fit no matter how long you make that single hold bolt. Moving the round cross member forward though will allow up to 38" tall tires to fit if the arms for the bracket are lengthened a bit.
Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

I hope this works, lol.

Come and take it
Go work at joann fabrics if you can't shoot a gun
I've done on the side of the road. Plus a few times at home. It really isn't that bad. I have learned to use a floor jack to raise the tire/rack as far as it can travel and then standing up. I lift the rack the rest of the way and slide it onto the bolt.

I just want to have somewhere to store the bulky thing day-to-day. Like I said, the M37 had a -poor (IMHO) solution to that problem, one that I never adopted.
If I get a flat, I'll throw the dead one in the bed while I search for a repair, otherwise it'll be stowed under the bed, out of sight and out of mind.
This is what I did in my truck, using a strap winch. It is still a dirty affair to lift the tire into its home, but it can easily be done using a 10" ratchet. Making the rim line up with the two 1/2" threaded rods is a bit tricky
But it is a must for a 200lb HMMWV rim/tire/runflat. It would balance better if the tire was upside down, but I wanted access to the valve stem from underneath.

That's a great idea.
