I'm still hoping for a creative idea. I might just mount the spare under the tongue. I have to do some work on there, anyway to mount my Equalizer brackets.
Does anyone know a good place to buy a truck mount bracket system, the one that mounts under the bed?
When I return from Michigan... I plan to visit a few Wrecking yards (junk yards) for pickup truck spare tire mount with cable wench.
a couple of "L" channel and a few holes drilled.. Done.
I can NOT weld... even went to night school for it. I suck.
but I can drill holes an install bolts.
So the wrecking yards save these? Thanks!
I have a welder and can lay down a fairly good bead. It wasn't always that way. A couple of times. when applying for work, I made the mistake of blurting out those three words that can't be retracted, "I can weld". From there, it isn't long before you find yourself with a stinger in hand for the better part of days.
The other thing is that we have local welding and fabrication shops close to us (borderland of farming communities) and those guys will do a few welds for nearly nothing. If you have your project thought out and have the steel ready to weld, a trip to your local shop can be a low cost solution and save time.
