   Been thinking about long rides and what would I do if I had a blowout that I couldn't repair on the trail!   After some research and viewing other ideas I made this to relieve some pressure of possibly having to walk back to camp.

There are a few companies making these for trucks and cars, just used there ideas to craft my own version. Slips into the 2" reciever,  easy in and out!   Piece of mind for long rides in strange places.I

I like the concept, but using the receiver to mount it would be unacceptable for me, unless it is designed in such a way that the receiver could be used to pull something at the same time, more often than not, I am towing something

however I would like a front receiver as well for easier maneuvering of trailers in the yard, which wouldn't be used much,  also for a receiver mounted winch

There is a company that makes an extension so you end up with 2 recievers, one on top of the other. Or just extend the arm your ball is on and add another reciever on the top of the arm. This way you could tow, and add a spare tire carrier at the same time.

Ok here should be some more closeup pics of the spare tire holder that some of you ask for.  As I mentioned you cn buy them for around 100 bucks but I just made my own from 2" thin wall tubing

Did you use a Kymco rim or something generic?

Found a set of yamaha grizzly rims/tires used that fit. Keep in mind you need a front tire for a spare as a front will fit the rear but a rear will not fit the front!
