relocating the spare tire, but to where

[parlusk]

I just removed my rack and spare tire to make room for my generator that i am getting ready to mount.. i have four spare tires mounted in the bed, but i would like to relocate the other somewhere else. has anyone done this before? i searched the forms and couldn't find anything about it. i was thinking in the very back under the bed where most pickup trucks have theirs mounted. any input or suggestions?

You have 4 spare tires mounted in the bed??

 

[parlusk]

yeah, the truck came with 5 spares so i mounted 4 in the bed

You have 4 spare tires mounted in the bed??

Why so many spares?

If you are running duels you can also run them singled out so you have another 4 spares

 

[parlusk]

they came with the truck and were already in the bed so i just mounted them there.... to me it was better than trying to find a place to store them.

So what you are saying is if you got the truck with 10 spares you would mount them all in the bed?

 

[parlusk]

probably not but the thought would cross my mind... i really didn't have a place to store them at the time, so i just made a place to mount them in the back. two is one and one is none. i am building my deuce as a bug over or bug out vehicle. so the more spares the better

Get a a spare tire carrier and put it on the front bumper since you bed is full.

Get a portable folding cage and the tools to break the tires down. A patch kit and a couple of extra tubes. It would fit into a space smaller than two tires and you could fix multiple flats.

i thought about that but i have already mounted a front hitch on my bumper.... i was thinking about under the back end.

The long bed 5ton M814 has the spare mounted in the rear. Take a look and see if you could make a similar setup work for a deuce. I don't know if there is enough room, but its a possibility.

I have seen an ex-Navy duce with one mounted there, this is not it #14

 

[parlusk]

thanks for the reply... i measured and there is enough room. i am hoping to reuse the lift the used to be on the side, if not the i will just build something like this.

When I added the second fuel tank to my truck, I mounted two spares in the bed along with a trailer spare. Front of the bed strapped down with ratchet ties to the bed racks and bed. I added a small hoist in the back of the bed on the right to make getting them in and out possible by myself.

shorten the bed and mount it between the cab and the bed. With a carrier from a tractor

We all know the real reason he mounted 4 spares in the bed was so he didnt have to lift them down outta the bed haha
