That is such a bad ass setup. The tire mount location is perfect the puma setup inside the cab away from engine heat and near the back is also perfect. I'm jealous because this seems like the best trade off from mounting the spare on the bumper or on a roof rack. Tire is also inside away from theft for people who DD their 80 like me. It also removes the tire from getting hung up on obstacles and blocking more of the rear view. Very nice setup, let me know when they go into production
I want that setup also..Wouldn't you take a loss for your fellow landcruiser buddy's? Take one for the team!!What model Puma is that?
Alledgedly burned up in the fire..Anyways it is a good setup I think some of us would like to have...

Inkpot and I learned that the 11 gauge tube bends nicer than the thinner stuff. Made a mount for his Puma.

Hey, it's a dirtyNICE! Looks great guys! John keeping you busy Kevin?
job, but somebody's got to do it. Obviously, this is the abbreviated version of the original with the integrated spare mount. I usually have way too much junk in the truck to make room for silly things like spare tires.
This was one of only two occasions I can remember that the back end was completely empty. 
Kinda looks nekid without Wrenches and Spare, and Flares, Oh MY!!!.............

Made some changes to the design, making it somewhat easier to build. This has me thinking about the spare design. One of the big "problems" with it is; it was designed to hold one size tire. The updated concept would hold a wider range of tires and be less labor to make.

Will check on a strap to do the job. Then might as well make one or more, don't think there will be a problem finding a home for them?

How many times you have to bend to get one done?
You would have been amazed when Kevin and I did ours for the first time how many bends were not exactly what we were shooting for but was able to use it for something else. In the end we had little waste of metal... but Kevin obtained a lot of welding experience during that time frame

You were able to bend with one arm
He should be posting ANY minute now... you know who you are
You drive a white 80.... I figured that would narrow it down
Real 80's only came in WHITE
