Spare Tire And High Lift Jack Mounting

I figured out where I wanted to mount my spare tire and high lift jack. I had spare spindle and hub setup, so that is the mount for the tire, that way, I'll have a spare set of bearings, wheel hub and lockout hub. That jack was easy. I got the mounting kit at tractor supply. I'm waiting on new bearings for the spare. I'm in debate wether I should put grease in the hub or not.







The nice part of the high lift jack location is, it will protect my taillights from being smashed.



The worst part was, I had to move the fire extinguisher from behind the drivers seat to the fender. I seem to remember MB's and GPW's having it on the fender.

 

I reckon grease that spare hub.
If things go bad enough that you need to install a spare hub, the last thing you would want to be doing is try to grease it up out in the boonies somewhere.

 

I was snaping off the 6 bolt that hold the manual lock to the hub very often. It was my fuse when i put a spartan on the front. So a spare hub was a good thing to carry.

 

Got the spare tire mount all done today.

 

Looks great, I like your idea.

Where do you get your Traxions from Nate?

 

Maybe an ammo crate that fits on that fender would be a good storage place for all that loose gear Garage Gnome.

Bracket looks good.

 

I got the tires from Walcks.

That stuff on the fender never really moves. The Bungee works good for holding the straps.
