Builds My Mountain Bike Hauler (4 Viewers)

[davegonz]

In an effort to conceal whatever I'm carrying in the back (like my mountain bike) and to also help with the heat I decided to get ceramic tint. Darkest in the back and legal limit up front. I also got the cheesy unibrow on the windshield. LOL!

I was having some bad rubbing issues with the 285 tires on Smooth Vintque 16x7 wheels with 4" backspacing and noticed a post by @wngrog 'mentioning that he had the same setup and used spacers in the back. He said that they weren't necessary in the front. Since my truck came with spacers in the front, I moved them to the back like Nolen and the rubbing is now gone and the wheels are now pretty flush to the fenders.

I also took the time to paint the rear hubs. Open-end lug nuts are on order to replace the splined nuts.

 

[wngrog]

Awesome

Got one side on. I need to figure out what Jerry can holder I'm going to run and also how to mount a light for the license plate.

Yes, I freaking dinged the right hand door on the damn swing arm pivot. Ugh.

 

[wngrog]

Damn. Those doors are fairly tough. You must have wailed on it good

This is a 70 series tag holder. I have a spare if you want it.

 

[svsisu]

I think you could run the OEM 70 series Toyota tag holder, light assembly on the swing out. Just need to extend the wires and route them.

Different bumper, but I have the same ding on my door from the spindle

 

[davegonz]

Yes, that's what I'll do once I find a gas can holder to mount it to.

@wngrog . So I, and others don't have to dig through miles of your VERY helpful info...do you have the part numbers for sharing?

Sorry for the hack Dave. The truck is looking awesome!

 

[dogfishlake]

I think the factory gas can setup is the sh*t!

I did not save them. Just bought them all off the diagram on Partsouq. Cost about $1000 before the can

I remember you saying it was painful

Does anyone have the dimensions to the tire carrier mounting holes? My truck didn't come with a tire carrier on the door and I need to install a plate for the Cruiser Outfitters @cruiseroutfit swing-out.

I can help you with that tomorrow morning but this door is too weak for a spare bracket. I believe it has some supporting behind the sheet
