Not sure if I posted this here or just on the facebook sites. I needed a way to carry a spare outside of the bed and didn't lime the idea of lowering a tire to the group d, then dragging g it out from u see the trailer then lifting it up to change it. This is much easier.
The reason it is so tall is to it can be on the ground d outside the plane of the tailgate so I can open it even if the tire is sitting on a mound of dirt, curb.....
I welded 2 receivers to the rear of the trailer so it can be used on either side. the 1/2" pin with red handle is just to stop the little bit of movement i have from the spring latch. the spring latch is more than strong enough to prevent an accidental lowering of the tire at 5/8" in diameter and it grabs a 1/4" thick tab. i'm thinking of welding an ammo can onto the tongue to hold a couple wrenches, a breaker bar, an extension and a 1-1/2" socket to change the tire if needed.
