What is the current value on the used market for a Rhino/Rico spare tire carrier? I think I may want one for a project.

Anywhere close to a set of 4 Dick Cepek 16.5" alloys? This is what I have to trade towards it

Depending on condition lately I have seen the tire carriers go from $600 on up (bent/missing parts), a really nice one will bring well north of $1000, I did see a NOS one go for $2000 on GP recently even though you can buy one directly from the factory for $1,850, all this of course is plus shipping.
Most folks here looking for alloy rims are trying to get away from the 16.5" tires also most civy rims do not have the correct offset for use on a Humvee
You can check on Fleabay, Beltfed sells quite a few starting at $650 or so (bent/missing parts) and they do not last long.
You can also put a want in the classifieds and see what response you get.
That is a very nice looking square body!!!!

I've purchased a number of items from Beltfed and never had any issues and the service is top shelf. I just can't believe how much parts cost has increased in the last few years. Like everything else I guess.

I purchased a very nice complete Rico tire carrier about 3 years ago for $600.

These are the same Dick Cepek wheels that came on many of the civilian Hummers in the '90s - they have the correct offset. I replaced them with 24-bolt wheels

Has anyone tried making one? I’ve thought about it, using one of these as the adjustable link. But I’m not sure if there’s enough range in the threads. This one is 9”

Yes. A member here made one and posted the design and the results. He was happy with what he made.

Andyrv6av8r made one…

Post 4048 “what have you done lately” thread.

4051 has his partial parts list.

He posted elsewhere regarding his build BUT it is eluding me. I just woke up and I’m still rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

"What's in your tank?" Here's what you could find. Sludge catcher on the inside. TADA... THE NEW STUFF ! New is GOOD. Old man wrestling with a "tiger in the tank' So, what's in your tank, CAMO Ultimately I'm confused!!! Rather than a tiger in the tank, I expected a teddy bear!
