spare tire carrier

**drz400smoto** · #1 (**permalink**) 03-23-2008, 06:08 PM

So I was wondering what you guys have done for your oversize spare tire mounts? I was considering one of the pre-runner type tailgate holders but they are close to $1000. I want to keep my bed as open as I can to be able to haul my dirt bikes around. My other thought was getting a rough rack and mounting it up there with some off road lights. Lets see some pics or hear some ideas. Thanks

So do you guys with bigger tires carry spares with you or just hope for the best?
