Tired of the Rust
 

After my last trip up north into the snow and salt I noticed that my spare tire carrier had turned into a large rusty eye sore. After months of putting it off, I decided torip the tire rack off the bac.I disassembled it, sanded it, grinded off the rust and repainted it. I know that its not the worlds best job, but it is soo much better than looking at brown and orange rust eating the metal. Took a full day of sanding and painting yesturday andI put it back on this mourning. Let me know what you think.

looks good! but the paint might chip and rust again. u should spray it w/ some rubberized undercoating that would help.

looks real nice, this sounds liek the right time for everyone to be fixing rust. i just fixed all mine.

Looks awsome! better than brand new! I wish i could fix the rust on my truck that easy but there is just so much it would take me a week and a couple hundred of dollars

RE: Tired of the Rust
 

Yeah, mine is getting some just behind the rear driver's side door. I want to fix it, but I'm paranoid I might f*** something up. LOL

I WANT A SWING OUT SPARE HOLDER!!! I want to put a full size spare on it... It would look so sick and be REALLY functional! :) But my truck is lame and has no spare holder :(

Join the club job. I could really use one.

RE: Tired of the Rust
 

YEAH! We need to come up with a sweet way to fab one and sell it to members...

I am planning on getting it rhino lined next year as well as some other things, I just needed to get it cleaned up for now.
