I finally got around to doing three mods that have wanted to do for some time.

1. Spare Tire Carrier. I did it a little different than others. I added a complete second "bar" to the frame. This would allow me to move the bolts to adjust the height as needed. I still have my 15" load range D space that fits on to the unmodified carrier. Next time I change tires I am going to get load range E.

2. I added a blue boy carrier similar to what others have done. Again, my set up is a little different. I provided a couple of pictures.

3. I did the protection for the plumbing. A blow out in 2011 took out the original plumbing. I didn't around to it last year, but did not want to go another year without the mod. I was thinking I would bolt it on, then changed my mind and had it welded once I was convinced I could get to the plumbing if I need to do any repairs. For grins I included pictures of the tire that did the deed along with a view of the resulting plumbing mess.

I'm heading down to South Padre Island for Memorial Day. I will feel much better with the plumbing mod done.
