nige Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 nice setup fishead! How much does that outboard weigh? I've added a CB antenna and a single reverse light hooked up to a switch in my console. I give the carrier a good scrub with the wire brush and a couple coats of paint every two years to keep it looking nice and black. I would like to move the spare to my roof because the carrier really weights down the back of my truck and gives it a baja stance, even with my aftermarket coils.

John Boy Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I think keeping it on especially for the snowy winter makes for better traction. It's also one hell of a bumper, I can't tell you how many times sitting at a red light some idiot bumped into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishead Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 skrillaguerilla I would guess that motor weighs in about 50lbs. Prolly as much as the tire actually. I don't know off the top how much the spare weighs. It's a 31" spare too. Anyone know what the tire carrier is rated to hold? I still have to change the top pin. I got's the parts, but I aint got's the time! I love the rear tire carrier. It's extra storage space. The more junk you can mount on the back, the more junk you can fit inside. Especially necessary if you are THE ride for the guys camping trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
