I for one think the tire would look pretty good on the back and at the same time will keep some of the weight that was removed by deleting the roof to help retain some of the balance. Just my opinion of course <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Way Cool!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I agree that the spare would look nice on the gate. But only if the gate is to open to horizontal. If is going to open vertical(like a real pickup) that would be a pain. But vertical lift might give you the ability haul a sheets of plywood. But the body work and hinge relocation would be a PITA.

No, Im not going to keep the wiper thought about it but decided against it. I will rewire the rear window defrost so it will work. The back sections came from my shorty parts truck. I wanted to keep the top we cut of for a possible canopy if it will fit after I install the roll bar with tire carrier. The back door is going to get smoothed out no handle ,lock or tire mount.

There are actually two dewalt saws at my place... one per side... We'd be done in no time!
