hey, thook!
doesnt the Isuzu tire gates swing toward the drivers side??? and, from the Isuzus that ive seen, they may use a smaller diameter bar to support the tire...
anyone know for sure... just wondering if they will stand up to trail abuse...

Hey space-junk!!

Yep....it swings out from the driver's side.

This carrier has some really thick tubing....at least 1 1/2" in OD. It's one heavy mf'r, too. I'm thinking very seriously I may shave some of the unnecessary plate steel off to lighten it up a bit. Make it look less "bulky" at the same time.

I cut it out then re-welded it back in when I was done.

Hi I'm really interested in your pictures of your spare tire carrier under your truck bed that you posted but the photos don't show in yotatech... Is there any way that I can see those pics? Thx
