Well for medical reasons …
I needed to come up with a solution for my SUV.
The spare tire is normally located up underneath and lowered by a chain hoist.
Being that crawling around under the back of the truck in case of a flat tire is no longer a option.
Add to the fact, anyone who has their spare up underneath the back end of their vehicle .. when was the last time you even check the tire pressure??Anyways, the obvious solution would be rear hinged tire carrier.
But, first off they are very costly.
Second, I really didn’t want to add and extra 250 – 300 lbs on the back end of my truck just to be able to carry my spare, considering I already have a tow bar installed.The solution was quite simple and only cost $100.00
A clevis hitch pined to a standard 2″ trailer mount held in place with a Heim joint.
Now just pull a pin and the tire folds down to the ground enabling the rear hatch to be opened.
