Topic: where to mount the spare for 4 RUNNER

[*** YELLER ***]

feel free to post up pictures of cool spare tire mounts on 4 runners inside outside whatever

You can mount up to a 35 inside, any bigger outside. Unless you run it topless.

2nd gen 4unner:

RED: utility sliders
GREEN?BLACK:spare previously mentioned
YELLOW: straps

this pic only kinda worked be because it has a sun/moon roof in the way of the ideal location.

EDIT: no sunroof thats an actual roof on a house

i like the swing out spare tire carriers personally.

for inside strap the tire to the side of the rollbar, 35 is very snug right there.
pic of fearofrunner's rig with the spare mounted that way

[Rockcrawlintoy]

i would try and mount them as low as possible, or carry a tube

[Rocksurfer]

On top makes it too top heavy, I left mine underneath a 33 will fit. My brother welded an arm and a mount from the rollbar and put it there, he had 35's and it just fit.

get some SX's...then u dont need a spare

I think 90-91 4runners had a factory optional swing out tailgate spare tire mount.  try and find one at a junkyard or see if you can still get it from Toyota.

My Runner is bobbed 10" so I couldn't mount it like Fearofrunner's. I welded some hooks at the base of my rollbar and laid the tire flat in the back and strapped it down. looks like an X on the top of the tire if you were looking down on it from the sky. I liked the look of my runner without a spare tire showing so I did it this way.
Oh ya it is a 35" tire.

well I like the swing down reciver hitch idea but will it affect my departure angle my Runner wont be lifted very much and I am gonna run 36's



Edit: I guess I could just move it up a little and run it that way

[*** YELLER *** [OP]]

you could do that oldyeller

yea but I might loose the sight of the rear view mirror but I guess I could mount it more to one side than the other, it will be DD too

Mount it more on the driver side.

[*** YELLER *** [OP]]

the driver side.

   thats where most of the weight is already at

Then it would have a gangster lean!

Well then you have 2 choices

1. Make it a right hand drive

2. Take some of the weight out of the driver

I would do this one, It keeps the weight more centralized, and it will not affect departure angle or rear view mirror viewing.

    u git 2 funny man


and Spencer if you are reading this  for laughing



 

[Shoyrtt]

Here are my three solutions
1. A 31" with lots of room (how many times do you really get a flat and its lite):


2. A 37" upright (heavy and blocks your view):


3. Or just carry plenty of plugs and leave the spare on the trailer.
