I'm tricking out my new Ranger crew but can't figure out what to do with the spare tire. I bought two of the lock & ride cargo boxes which take up most of the bed. I saw the hitch spare tire mount that holds the tire just outside the tailgate but I can't imagine that rides well in rough terrain. Any ideas?

Roof rack?

sweet ride...tjm had a good suggestion for a roof rack or maybe a headache rack

I'm in the same boat with a scabbard and Cargo Box in the back.

Or put on a bigger bed

That is a nice looking and well equipped machine you got there! How are you liking the Dragon Fire doors? I am thinking about getting some of them.

Do you have a link for the carrier that mounts your spare outside the bed that you mentioned?

Someone on here had a spare tire mount that mounted on the hitch.

The Dragon fire doors are awesome, well worth the money. The doors are well-built and come with great customer service. It's in a cargo trailer now, but I'm heading into the mountains on Tuesday. I'll take some photos of the hinges, brackets and door latches.

I saw this one (http://http://www.ledtsk.com/SpareTireCarrier.html) but what happens when you're bouncing down the trail? I can only imagine how much the spare tire would move around and how much torque it puts on the receiver.

Bungee in the back for now. I have room for two gun cases between the tire and tailgate but that's about it. I'm thinking about making my own tire bracket out of 1/4" steel plate and 1-1/2" square steel tubing and bolt it to the bottom of the bed where it is now. I just need to think of a quick way to uninstall and install it as needed.

That's a nice set up you have.

That's a nice set up you have.

Thank you.

Great looking ride. Do you have the same size rims/tires on front and back? If so what is the size of them?
