nick1208 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Looks great. Also looks like you've got some awesome terrain out there to go and tear up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooner Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Sorry, i meant the spindle that the entire spare tire rack rotates on. I was wondering where you bought it from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCoast Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 seems like i have left this page in the dark well yes i got the tire mount idea from northcoast .. but i didnt like how the trunk had to be smashed in ...so thats why there is space but have no fear for that space will be filled with extra gas cans at some point , and as for the hub im not sure i understand the question ... if you are asking where the tire sits and bolts its just a piece of metal circled and drilled out ..with lug studs welded too.. Tire mount was all Monstaru. The trunk didn't have to be smashed in. That was just body damage from getting rear-ended by a larger wheeler. I do like the latch system better. Might have to figure a way to incorporate that. Nick... the reason it looks like the gap is bigger is because it's mounted higher. Same vertical plane but my hinge point is about 6" lower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryot1 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 so it was the all famous monstaru..... oops.. either way it was genius....i thought the trunk was purposely smashed to sink the tire in .. i noticed an imediate diffence between the two ..but i guess the 6'' drop explains that..at first look i was ify of the space on mine but it didn't last long once i day dreamed & pictured a few extra gas cans and starred at the car every second of the day i like how it turned out...ALLOT ..the extra gas cans is gonna be interesting ..i have an idea B)mwahahahaha ..but u guys gotta wait and see ..its going to be very interesting and new (to the best of my knowledge)..on how im going to incorporate them into the car ... ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote That is the same tire mount. I threw that together one day When I had some time, with what I had laying around. It coast me zero dollars to produce . If I were to do it again, I would by a latch for it, and use a replaceable bearing swing out. But for my first one , I think it turned out ok.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryot1 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 thank you .. so i got the rack off and i pointed out where and how i mounted it ...i hope this is enough ! it will be painted soon ! so stay tuned ! you can see i already started some rust repair! the electric has a quick release .. and if you look closely at the pic with my three fingers pointing at the three mounting points for one side youl see that the front two are tilted down ...when you make this only then you will find the correct angel of the mount brackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
