Hi-Lift spare tire mount?

[AZ_Husker]

Looking at pictures, occasionally I find people with their hi-lift mounted on their rear-door-mounted spare tire. I have not been able to find one of these mounts. Does someone know who makes them, or are they custom made?

Thanks

I have a Kaymar.. it attaches to out swing out through the tire mount. Problem is you have to have the kaymar bumper to begin with.

I've also seen some generic version on ebay that use your bolt pattern to attach to the wheel also. I can't find any right now of course to show you.

Thanks. That's the setup I've been looking for, without the Kaymar of course. I'll search ebay.

Everything I've seen is truck-specific. I've used a Safari Gard product that relied on my Land Rover bolt pattern.

did you look at the bed mount highlift mounts?

those you can bolt those to your lift gate, or your tire carrier.

I was hoping to not have to put any holes in the truck but I may end up using those from Hi-Lift.

We'll see...

Seems like something that would be easy to fab up.

Thought: Can the spare tire carrier on a Trooper handle the extra weight and stress forces of a Hi-Lift mounted on top of the spare? Just wanted to ask the question...

got a couple ideas for ya, if your have a 48" you may be able to get away with mounting it to the back of the rear seats horizontally, OR on the roof, when i had my 4runner (RIP) i had a roof rack that a fabbed up a mount for. worked great, i used the same size bolts as a tire iron so i always had a way to get it off.

Con-ferr is a brand that used to make them. Every once in a while they pop up on ebay or off road forums.

Blitz cans used to make something similar as well for their jerry cans that could be easily modified.

Just a thought.

Jack mount

Hello From Alaska,

What truck are you mounting it on? Maby I missed it in a previous post.
I used some 8 inch pieces of all thread and some nuts and washers to mount the jack across the front frame rails. Also attached a shovel to the jack with a bunjie cord. Very cheep and accessable when needed.

Regards,

Jim

I can't find a good picture on the interweb, but what a lot of guys do is weld a piece of square tube to the plate the spare mounts to centered on the wheel center hole. The tube has a flat plate welded to the other end (small enough to fit through the wheel center hole) with either a couple of holes or a couple of studs welded to it. Very simple and probably not to expensive if you had a shop do it.
