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.




Here is the finished product

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

i just powder coated mine at work, well the part that mounts on the corner. i dont have a sand blaster to get the rest cleaned up. your looks nice now.

 

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.
