Thought I'd share a few pics of the tire carrier I did over the weekend, welded, need to smooth the metal a bit, hoping to powder coat by mid week......

Nice work! I'd like to see it loaded... Do you just plan to relocate your license plate to the back of the jerrycan holder?

Thanks domaas, I'll check it out...I almost did the barn door thing too, changed my mind at the last minute. I get the whole too much going on thing, responsibilities suck, don't they? My dilemma on the tire is trying to find a matching rim to my other 4, I have the weld on beadlocks, and got the extra rings for the spare, but have never had a spare. So, if anyone knows where to score an Intero steelie made around 1998, hit me up.
