Spare Tire Mounted in Front of Tub

rcarlson1957

I currently moved my spare from underneath in the back to the front passenger side of frame. I want to mount it in front between the tub and the jack. I don't want to attach it to the jack since I now use a Jack E Up and remove it whenever I'm towing. I don't have a boondock platform but see some people have their spare mounted on it where some people put a generator. I don't see how the spare tire is mounted on that platform. Anyone have pic or anyone come up with a mount to do what I'm trying to do? I'm thinking about getting a larger aftermarket diamond plate tub that angles in from side. Has anyone who's done that attached a spare bracket to their aftermarket tub? I just don't care for it sitting on the side like it is now. Any ideas/photos are appreciated

@rcarlson1957, the Boondock full size spare tire is mounted to a spare tire holder that is bolted to the Diamond plate tub. I’ll go take a couple of photos and resize them to post for you.

Thanks Verna!

@rcarlson1957, the blurry metal on the right side of the photo is the front of the tub, and this is looking down between the tub and the tire. The bracket is bolted to the front of the tub. The tire is bolted at the front. The cable is a tire lock cable. 

This is the inside of the tub. You can see the thick metal plate on the back of the front of the tub. (It does have two bolts, but I couldn’t move the tongue wheel out of the way!). 

This is the outside of the tub. Heavy metal bolted with two bolts going through to the inside metal plate.

Perfect. Thanks, Verna!
