I saw this on a jeep forum and thought we should have one here to see all the custom stuff/ fab work we have made for our trucks.

Looks sweet but i use my bed too muchI grabbed a spare tire mount out of a 94 2DR Yukon at one of the junkyards. My initial thought was mount it upright in the front corner of the bed. But on the way home I noticed it fit pretty good on the floor of the bed. And kind of gave it a low profile bed mount look.
So I cut off the rusted lip.

It worked great, Took it apart and repainted it.

And mounted the spare to it. Seeing as I'm using a stock 16" rim with a 245 for now, it holds it perfectly. When I get the 285's I'll get a 5th tire for the spare. I made sure to leave about 2" from the bed rail for the larger tire.

I like that tire mount a lot!
