DIY: YAKIMA Spare Tire Bracket v.1 (attachment for RACK)
Pics are self explanatory.

Saftey first/You are responsible for fabbing/Enjoy modding.

All hardware can be found at yer local mercantile . . . .
Your responsibility is to measure yer stuff (*bolt), due to different wheel height and offset when wheel is on its side.
(*six inches or more or you fail)

hope this brings you smiles per miles . . . . .

Nice right up Eric! I did something very similar this past week. Seeing yours though, I might have to make a few small mods. Looks sick.

YES!, so simple even a caveman can doit! this mod will not only bring asthetic changes but, will help in shifting weight (20lbs.?) to center.

the "weight" is now distributed to the center of the vehicle, which allows for less rubbage in the rear with "my" setup. FTW!

example: load off centered = fail . . . . RUBBAGE, bottoming out!



example: load distributed evenly = FTW! smooth ride, no rubbage.
