Default Finished Three Mods

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.

That looks like some very high quality workmanship, Roy. You might consider making some for sale!

You're all set for the apocalypse - that plumbing cage doubles as a bomb shelter!

Nice pics, you were busy.

Really like that spare tire carrier mod. Just about wasn't able to get the carrier back up and in place last time I rotated my tires.

Was planning to let air out of the tire next time, but the mod would be better.
