In cabin spare tire carrier.

[patherfinderjake]

Has anyone used the SOR inside cabin spare tire carrier (255-06) that is said to be for FJ60 & FJ62 in your pig? The distance between the mounting bracket holes of 16 1/4" makes me think it might be doable since 255-05 for the FJ55 has been discontinued. Anyone done it another way? The end plan is to have a bumper fabbed with a swing out for the tire, but in the meantime standing it up would take up significantly less room. TIA for any advice.

I think I have one for the 55 on the shelve. I bought it off of Pighead and never used it. Would you like me to take a picture of it?

@scrapdaddy

Love to see some pics of that, is that what you used or did you fabricate something else?

 

[scrapdaddy]

I made my own after looking at the one I bought, didn't like it.

I'l post a picture of the other one tomorrow, I've done for the day. Jammie time.

You want a rear bumper for a Pig with a spare tire on it swing-out?

@gonzopancho and I talk about this all the time…

That’s what we are getting ready to do bumper mounted swing out. Need all the space in the rear I can get for the road trip. So going to make a loop on the rear that also supports the roof rack and get the weight off gutters then do a swing away tire carrier off that. Will post up pictures when done but probably a month out.

this is what Steve at Northwest fabricated for my Steve

BATPIG has an inside the cargo area spare carrier.

It required floor bracing. Builds - 1978 FJ55 BATPIG - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1978-fj55-batpig.1329649/page-25#post-15483558

The one Steve did is easy and works.

I put mine in and tied it to the wall with a ratchet strap.
If you're changing it anyway, don't spend money on steel, use a ratchet strap that you already own, cut it to length, and you're set.

Here is the one I believe came from SOR. If you want it, just pay the shipping, but you could make this far cheaper than the shipping cost.

That's the end goal yes, but the ones I see on line are pretty expensive. I know some pipe welders here in TX that should be able to fab one for me. Unless you know of a reasonable alternative of course.

Keep talking!!

 

[scrapdaddy]

I always thought it a shame to cover up that beautiful pig's azz with a tire.

Less talk, more work.

Semi-obvious that the former incarnation of BIO did the rear bumper on @PabloCruise’s 55. This would be easy to duplicate and mod with a swingarm and tire carrier/latches.

Where it gets more difficult is when you start adding even more stuff: Cooler basket, stoves, ladders, bike racks, additional tail/brake/turn signal lights; receiver hitch (@PabloCruise has one on his pig), etc

I’m good with just the tire swing! Have old confer rack for on top to carry other items.
