Been working on a little tire carrier project for awhile now, slow going as I'm always having to either wait for parts or a welder, or, or, or, etc. lol

It is being designed for a 35" Tire and 18" Rim.
Here's a couple pieces and the plan to go.
Need to make a CNC piece as a crossmember

I have two sets of 21LED motorbike brake and signal lights to wire in also.

Curious, I'm assuming the tire will go on top flat? and are you using 1 bar or 2 across the bed like in the picture to support the tire?

Two across, they'll be mounted to the bedrails on both sides, just haven't been able to get to that stage yet.

Yeah, no.

Something different and when I need to I can still fully utilize the box and keep anything under the tonneau clean and dry.

In this day and age everyone does the same ideas consistently, so I wanted to do something fully different but still have it be functional.

Larger tires don't fit underneath, so why not?

That's where the airtank and grover horns would be going anyway. Then going to be tying the horn into the alarm system.
