    Thanks guys! As for the tire carrier its not all done yet. What i did was i used 2x2'' square tube steel and made some big L brackets that i bolted to the support arms underneath were my spare tire use to be. When i did this i made sure that it was lower than the back up sensors, and before i welded them up i did a plum,level, and square cuts. Then welded it up. To mount it underneath i used some 6''x3/4'' grade 8 bolts with lock washers.





    I also bought a big spindle and hub assembly for the hing, and i'm making my own T-handle latch. I'll post more pics when i get it completely done.
