Bed mounted tire carrier

[trailblazr81]

Im looking for a Bed mounted tire carrier to hold a spare 35" tire. I wanted the type that holds the tire at like a 45 dgree angle in the center of the bed. They use quick release pins to remove carrier when you want to use the trucks bed for hauling. The only one I have found is over $400!! Has anyone seen these for less. I also found one that requires the removal of the tail gate and connects to trailer hitch but I dont like that type.
Thanks everyone!!

Yes they are expensive... you found one for $400??? that is the cheapest that I have heard of then...

I personally was going to do that.. but since I now have a rollbar have been contemplating bolting an X between my rollbar and mounting a rotor to it and bolt my spare that way... thus my 40" hawg spare would be nice and secure

p.s. lemme know if ya find a cheaper holder...

Like this? This is a simple bar that bolts between the roll bar, it is a custom job made by 4x4 Iron, which now make it a collectors item. I liked it when I had it done, but there are a lot of draw backs to having the spare mounted like this, even though it is a lot easier to handle with the soft top on.

Something like this?

Fabtech parts I believe...

And I'm SURE it doesn't cost $400. I had one on order for a while that was about $175 from a different so-cal fab dessert fab shop, but needed the money for something else so I canceled the order. Look for shops that do pre-runner fab or sell parts for pre-runners. They usually have em.

Cool, Summit Racing has the Fabtech tire carrier for $165. Says up to 35" tire. I guess if you need to hold something a little bigger you could just make a spacer between the mount and bed. I will just need to fab a quick release so I can do the occasional hauling junk in the bed.

Use hood pins for the quick release You'd still have the pins sticking up through the bed floor, but you would be able to pull 3 pins and pull it out

Gaa. $400? Wow. I built one with scrap metal, couldn't have cost me $20 or $30 in materials. Bolts to the rear seat mounting points. Granted, it's not exactly what you want, but I made it for *my* truck.

Don't give me any crap about my total inability to cut an actual round circle, as I did it with a sawzall and an angle grinder ... not having a plasma cutter. Yet

Uuuhhhh......Dont think that type of mount will work on my K20 pickup. I guess I will first see what I can do with some metal tubing. I have 30 ft. of 1 1/8 inch tubing, a bender and a welder so I can do some damage.
