Hi,

Who has some pictues of the mounting system for 2 wheels. Right now i am in Ecuador and the guys can do this for me. But I have to shów them how it works. I saw some pictues before but now i can't find them anymore.

Thank you for any help.

If you are using the original spare tire support on the 45 you could get another one from a junk yard and flip it so that it would work on the left side. You could get all the brackets, etc and it would look oem.
Of course you would have to open both every time you want access to the rear of the rig. On the other hand, having only one carrier for the 2 tires would make it very heavy and you would need alot of space behind the rig to be able to open it.

Regards


Fernando

made4surf suggested the link: http://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/174829-two-up-single-kaymar-tire-carrier.html.

This was my solution for a recent 4000 mile / 3 week trip in Baja. I was initially concerned about the weight and cantilever on the Kaymar tire carrier, but it performed well.

There was a bit of bouncing that occured on the California highway sections where expansion joints (at regular 20ft. centers) would set up a harmonic. If it got too excessive, a lane change would generally take care of the cadence problem. Otherwise...asphalt, graded dirt or trail work...no issues.

IMO a compact and cost effective way of carrying an additional spare.
