Post by badandy2003cc4x4 »

I am thinking mounting the spare tire on the tail gate like the blazer would look good and make room for the dual exhaust that I feel is necessary with any V powered vehicle i would like to use the carrier from a 2 door blazer since they have similar body lines so it should bolt up i hope
any thoughts
the tire carrier not the duals
it would also alow for larger spare to be caried

I suspect that that will take some serious modification to both the mount and your tailgate. As far as has been discussed here previously there are three practical options for relocating your spare.

i like 2 but it take away too precious cargo space but three looks good is that hitch mounted? :P
I don't like option 1 im not into roof racks plus at 5'5" it isn't easy for me to reach the roof
