wilson Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 first, I searched. I always search. I generally find little. my rear tire is mounted in my rear cargo area. I find this troublesome. is there any good options to mount it on the back. I prefer the rear mount as opposed to the roof. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 You can buy a used stock tire carrier for the rear, then buy the mount kit which includes the underbody bracing. Or you can find an aftermarket bumper maker who will make one integrated into a bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastpath Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 if i had a pathfinder without one, I think i would do what GG suggested and get a custom aftermarket one. That ways you can integrate other things into it like tow points, highlift mount, back up lights, turn signals, a hitch, gas can carriers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastpath Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 oh...or you could always mount one on a roof basket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSlowReliable Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 http://www.kenmtnac.com/Nissan.html seems like a good site to find what u want ^^ That seems like a half decent price, looks GOOD too... Or, if you got a welder, you could do all the fab yourself, and have a shop do the hinge stuff to simplify it a bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Or you could buy mine off the parts truck. It would go nicely with the drivers seat. (Did you ever find the piece of trim?) B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Simon has something quite similar, but it was custom IIRC. Maybe he has some basic plans you could start with?? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Mine's custom, built by me and a friend of mine who's a talented metal worker. He also built Morpheus' rear bumper for his R50. Unfortunately, I have no plans as we built mine on the fly, but I could get some basic measurements for you. That said, I don't know that they'd be of much help, as I have a 3" body lift, and my bumper was designed to hide/protect as much of the rear end as possible, given the 3" of space between the body and frame.

OldSlowReliable Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) This is one I designed, I already have a carrier though...but you could just put a piece of 1/4" angle iron on it, and use some 1x2x1/4" steel tubing to build a basic hinge, then go from there If you need a more visual thing, I can probably draw something up for ya This one is fairly close to his, although He did a 8-10 degree forward angle on the back portion about a foot in on each side (to match the body curve better) and of course had a tire carrier..

GrimGreg Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Here is the one I had made and was using for a while, I took the carrier off and mounted the bumper on my 88 now. The mounts are 2 pieces of 1/4" steel welded together and drilled for the stock mounts, then a 2" tube above and a 2"tube below the mounts. I used 2" tube for the carrier too. with 2 plates and a bolt for the hinge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY1PATH Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 oops...guess i didnt read well enough wilson: idk if anyone on here has that, but MY1PATH just got the postrunner rear bumper from them Correction I got an incomplete Postrunner from them, I still have to grind off some dangerous sharp edges and gusset the reciever where they blew thru a weld. 375+ shipping 12+ weeks of wait and still not all the parts have arrived. Go elesewhere, Like somone who can take pide in beautiful quality workmanship; where the welds flow like a series of concave semicirles, the edges are rounded and clean, the weding slag is chipped off and production times are acurate to what you've been told.
