Whats involved in removing the spare tire and the arm that holds it?? I have seen a few photos of SUT's with the spare and arm off and they look sharp.
Not too mention it would make accessing the tailgate much easier.

Thanks.

Thanks!!

 

I thought I'd bring back this thread since I am also trying to figure out how to remove my spare tire carrier. The link posted above seems to be dead now. What can I do to find it? I tried google

 

Um, remove the 5 bolts that hold it on, locate some tow hooks from an SUV that had an interior mounted spare tire, and either buy a plate reloacation kit or make your own. I made my own. Dont forget a plate light, just spline it into the original plate wiring. I rounted mine through the bolt hole that will remain open when the SUV tow hooks are intalled.







What she looks like now...

 

Your SUT is so beautiful. It look so nice with those rock stars. Man I wish I had a SUT. I have the SUV.
