Needed: First Generation OEM Tire Carrier...

[KEENO]

I'm looking for the original Factory under bed Tire Carrier for our First Generation trucks. Anyone have a good lead or a spare hanging from the rafters in the garage or under the workbench?



I would like to get the tire "sling" & the threaded bolt... Anyone... . Anyone.



Thanks in advance... Keeno

Got one in my shed, it's in very good condition. I only have the front bolt for it, the rear "J" bolt is missing. You can have it, but must arrange for shipping.

I have one complete with the bolts off my '93 that you can have.

I can check with my UPS driver about how to ship it if you want it.

I have one also Keeno

You are welcome to it if you wanna pay shipping from Albuquerque, NM. You don't happen to have an intercooler laying around, do you?

It is a good thing you weren't at my place this morning, I had to put my spare back up under the truck. After fighting with it for a while, if someone would have walked up and asked where they could find one, I would have taken it off and given it to them. Now I am thinking about checking into finding one that has a cable and a winch type setup and getting rid of this one. I had one on a car a few years back and it worked great.

Thats why I replaced my original tire carrier with the one that was available from the dealer. First one that I saw was installed on a Dakota, had a hard time finding the part number for the full size truck. I don't know if it is still available or not, most likely it's a similar situation as the factory tach and was only available for a short period.

The only problem with this unit is that it mounts in the same position as a reciever hitch would, although I have managed to overcome this problem with a custom made hitch.

Hope this helps,

I haven't had to change any tires on mine yet (knock on wood) but I am not looking forward to it. Does anyone know of an aftermarket winch-type spare tire carrier?

 

[KEENO]

Thanks Gang for all of the generous offers!



I plan to be out West in Jackson, Wy. starting next weekend & then down to Moab for a little "White Rim Trail" First Gen 4X4'ing the week after.



I'll try to contact "WyoJim" first to see if we can arrange a meeting place & parts swap. If we can't make that work I might come knockin' on another door for "the Goods".



Thanks you to all for your help... .

Readin' My Mind KENNO

I've been tryin' to think of a way to mount my spare, when I bought the truck, the previous owner had the spare, but no carrier. When I had my old '88 D100, I can't begin to recall how many junk yards I searched over for one. Finally I did find one, but it went with the truck. I just can't seem to figure out when driving down the road, if you look, why so many people don't have their spare? I hate to drive more than 5 miles without it, and you fellow dually owners know how much room that 600lb, back-breakin', bud wheel takes up in your bed!

Never thought of asking the fellow TDR brothers though!?

Anyway, my plans are to someday swipe a winch-crank-up style carrier off a 2nd gen. That way when I get my nice alunimum flatbed someday, I could use that set up on the flatbed also.

Hey WyoJim!



I've been trying to reach you on "The Deal"! Please, let me know if you would still like to let go of "the Goods" or if I have to pester a few other of our TDR First Gen Brothers...



Please contact me... .

Keeno,

I left early on July 9th and went to PA. I just got back this evening. Since I had heard nothing from you up until then I told a member in CA he could have it. I didn't want to leave him hanging for a week. Hope you get or got one of the other ones.

No Worries JIM!



Keeno is still in need of an OEM tire carrier but I'm leaving tomorrow for a Western trip to Jackson, Wyo. & then down to Moab Utah for a loop around the White Rim Trail in my truck.



Can anyone else help me out w/ a tire carrier? If so, please email me @ keelheadkeeno@hotmail.com and let me know. It might be 2 weeks before I can get back w/ you for the transaction because of my travels.



I would appreciate any offers & will pay for all shipping.



Thanks again to everyone...
