...for the most part. Would like to add a co2 bottle later on. And maybe a tire carrier.

Antenna and coax are Firestick
Jerry can and mount from Expedition Exchange
Thats a 285/75 bfg a/t on the spare rim

Would you actually use that jack on your bumper??? It's gonna leave a mark!

cj99si · 11-14-2006, 09:37 PM

Is that just for when when you go out?

Yeah, pretty much. The bed bar stays in with the lights and antenna, but, I take the jack off and the spare out when just doing stuff around town. Same for the gas can.

looks great! I love the jerrycan holder.

Can you post some more pics of how you are holding the tire?

Thanks.

The can holder is bolted thru the bed and lockable. It's pretty sweet.

The spare is secured using just 2 ratchet straps with one hook on the d-ring in the bed and the other thru the lug holes in the wheel.

Wow! I can tell you are a perfectionist. Very well done.

LOL, thanks. I don't know about being a perfectionist...just do it right the first time.

Looks nice. Did you move the tire to the bed to get more back end clearance? Did I read somewhere else that you replaced your back bumper?
The gas can holder is sweet - is it bolted to the bed?

I like what you did man. I'm still looking at something to mount my spare in my bed for when I'm wheeling. I know it's going to be a royal PITA to dismount the spare from underneath in the factory location.
