Rear tire carrier?

[98_hoe]

Well about to fab up a rear tire carrier for the hoe.. might not be everyones style but i just think it will set my hoe apart...anyone ever seen this done or know somewhere where you can buy one so i can get some ideas...ive looked everywhere on the web and cant find one for a OBS tahoe...lookin to do somethin like the pic below...

Have not thought of one like that. I was actually thinking of trying to find a swing style rear tire carrier for mine.

yeah this one just drops straight down so tire is pretty much already on the ground for you if you need to get to the spare which is nice when your rollin 35's haha...just wonderin if its worth the money havin this guy in cali makin it for me and shippin it here or if i could do it for less myself..only thing is if i do it myslef might not look as good.

What about when you need to put somethin in the back of your hoe i would think it would be in the way

[Timmy]

i think it'll look mean

like i said earlier if you look at the pictue it has hinges on it all you do is disconnect the top pins and the tire carrier drops down to the ground and you rear tailgate/hatch are still fully functional..

you can probably rig one up off of a zr2 blazer...

thought about that but no way in hell could that thing hold a 35 i mean it could probably hold it but i dont want to movin around hittin my truck and makin all kinds of noise when i drive...just dont think it would hold strong in the long run

[Timmy]

it'll be fine. that wheel that's on it in the pic is a 31.5 and it didn't move at all.

[98_hoe]

yeah i dunno i have my doubts i have been in quite a few zr2 blazers and most of them you can hear the rear tire carrier squeakin and movin around plus i kind of like the more beastly look of the other one but i dunno i guess ill keep lookin around.

[Timmy]

the other one does look beastly, but i've honestly never had any problems with my zr2. i've never heard anything come from it.

building a tube rear bumper/tire carrier would look sweet

i really like the one in the picture (i just looked at it, doh!) looks sweet. do it.

Build or buy buy a roof rack and strap it on there on top of the roof. That would look awesome.

dont know if you have ever seen my hoe but i do have a roof rack just kind of a pain in the ass to get the 35 up there...but it would look bad ass i might just do that for now...still want a rear tire carrier though

Thats a nice truck bro. Yeah your truck for sure would look bad ass with a basket on the top and a 35 in it.

thanks man i appreciate it

[Bad bow tie]

Anytime. Hey what kind of lift are you running?

[98_hoe]

its a 6in ranch 9000 i like has held up great so far takin it campin this weekend and its some pretty tough 4 wheelin and its been great the last few times i have been..but eventually i want to do a SAS just do have the finances right now

[Bad bow tie]

Cool. If you do end up doing the SAS, let me know how you do it. I wouldn't mind doing that in the future when funds are better. That and a lift and a more powerful engine. After I graduate from college though.

[98_hoe]

yeah id like to do the same just kind of waiting to graduate also...just waiting until i can afford to do the sas rear gear and lock it all at once and i want to make sure i do it right

[Bad bow tie]

We are deffinetly on the same page. Got to drop in the semi floating rear axle too. Damn, there's one like 45 min from where I live for $250...if only I had $250 to spare. I won't until next month.

[98_hoe]

yeah definitley gotta do that..just wish i could afford to do it all now.hahaha

have you seen this one?

[UWMlax15]

96procomp's post is probably exactly what youre looking for, otherwise I was gonna suggest one from a Hummer H2.

[98_hoe]

have you seen this one?

http://www.kenmtnac.com/MC9299GMC.html

i hadnt seen that one but it is pretty sweet and not to pricy thanks for that link

[992door]

i would not buy one from them i have not heard any good things about them. I have heard it can take over 6 months for you to get some things and when you do get them they said that they dont fit very well

word thanks for the advice i think im just gonna end up makin my own then i know it will fit and work

[96ProCompTahoe]

there was a guy on tahoeforum that had one and liked it, and there was a NBS owner on Z71TS that had one and liked it, neither mentioned it taking forever.

i still plan on buying from them, but getting it in writing it will be done on time and done correctly or i get my money back.

[hapyspaz]

Here is another option for ya.

theres no way that would be as solid as a bumper. i bet it rattles around like a bike rack or any other reciever accessory.

[loulblades]

I have the Kennesaw Mountain bumper and have been very happy with it. How long it take to get appears to be affected by the options.

Here's a picture of mine. I have since epoxy coated it and oiled that jack.

[tri94sbc]

I was thinking of getting a used Hummer tire carrier and adapting it to my rear bumper. The spare and the sub woofer in the back take up a lot of room.
