Took a different approach.
The wheels are 245/75-17 (GM rims) and the spares (2) fit perfectly in front of the wheel wells, upright.
I attached a 1/2-13 rivet nut to each trailer wall and secured the wheels with all-thread and wood blocks.
Does it add weight to the front? Yes.
Does keep the...
Trailer tongue is occupied with fuel cans and propane tanks.
I am considering behind the axle. Easier access.
Are you looking at the cradle that lifts/pivots the entire wheel or the crank type?
Keep me posted.
All,
My M1102 is NOT running the stock issue HMMWV wheels.
I have added adapters to run the GM 8x180 (?) wheels to match my 2016 Silverado.
Question: Has anyone mounted a spare under the M1102?
Thanks in advance,

Roger that on the individual LEDs. Need to replace the entire assembly.
I did a search on "Truck-lite amber lamp assembly 07407". Got these all over the place.

I am building up an M1102 and currently have completed...
1) Wheel swap to GM 8-lug
2) Fuel tray on front (Scepters and 20# propane)
3) E-track points on exterior
4) Stabilization leg relocation/mods...
I want the wheels to match my 2016 Silverado 2500 4x4. They are 8x180mm (and I have two complete sets, 8 wheels).
The benefit is to have all wheels match when I am way out nowhere. I can can carry two spares and be rather certain that a single wheel/tire failure will not start a meltdown.
Done deal.
Done deal. Let the mods begin. First thing is to get 8x6.5 to 8x180mm wheel adapters. Does anyone know about the adapters needing to be "hub centric" ?
