Rear tire carrier, what ya think?
I got a really good deal on a used cbi tire carrier, I got it on this weekend.
I replaced the light above the license plate, and gave it a fresh coat of paint, just need to get a hitch stabilizer, as it has some play in it.
I am going to alter it sometime soon, I am gonna raise the tire about 3-6inches, and push it back closer to the runner, and add a place for my jerry can.
Painted
Installed
Cleaned Tire
So what you guys think?

I bought a used CBI carrier too. It wobbles quite a bit. I ended up angling it in towards the truck a little more. Thought it stuck out too far.
How is that plate and ubolt going to keep it from wobbling? If it works like I think it does it would keep you from being able to lower the tire...

Update, no wobble now
Went to oreillys looking for a hitch stabilizer, and found some leaf pack clamps. They looked like they would do the job, and they did.
still opens and closes just fine.

Chris,
Yo man, looks good!
Now all you need is a big ole fat tire to stick on there besides the stock tire!...I figure thats just another thing to add to the list!
Take care bud!

Yep he does, this one was for a 1st gen runner with a marlin crawler bumper, so it sits a little low. But that isnt going to be a problem when i mod it to fit closer to the body, about 3-6 inches taller and a jerry can holder.
