Hey Ya'll I'm wanting to relocate the spair tire from the rear bumper to under the front as I have seen others have it there. I've looked in the lippert site but haven't found the tire mount, any ideas where I could find the tire mount for this project?:confused:

Look in Lippert accessories they have an under the frame mount carrier similar to the carriers on the back of trucks. My BC unit had it behind the axles and I was able to locate it in front of the axles in order to mount my 2 Kayakes behind the axles.

If you are a DIY'er you can make a better stronger mount for around $30. I spanned a 3" x 3" x 3/16" piece of angle iron ( 5'-11 1/4" long) across the inside lip if the I-beam frame, drill 2- holes in it for 1/2" x 6" bolts to hold the spare. If you don't have a welder the ends can be held inplace with a #10 tek screw (pre-drill the lower frame lip). Use a racket strap across the frame and under the tire to lower if needed.

I would really like to see how you mounted your kayaks.

Now your talking. I don't know why I didn't think of that.
