ISO spare tire eliminator kit. Tried to search. Kicking myself for not buying the real wheels kit years ago, but, now I REALLY want to get rid of the spare. Any leads?
Pull the carrier, replace the bolts and buy a license plate holder and trailer light on Amazon. $20.00 and a couple of hours and your good. I attached a pic of the back of my 07 SUT after removal of the tire and rack. Good luck! The back of my 07 SUT less the spare tire and holder.
I designed and 3d printed one that uses the OE shackle mounts (and spare tire pivot). I could post files at Thingiverse or email them to anyone who wants to make their own. Just need a length of pipe to fit the pivot bore.
It maintains the original lamp which resides inside a small housing on top. I printed it in a carbin fiber reinforced nylon plastic and painted some of it with Rustoleum semi-black (I should buy stock in Rustoleum).
