Swing Out Tire Carrier Options for '89-'95 P/U?

I've wanted a Prerunner TireGate for my P/U for some time now but TireGate isn't going to make them for my Gen. unless there is enough demand. Are there any other companies out there that make a similar item? Here's what I'm looking for:

I just picked up my rear tire carrier that was added to my rear bumper that I had previously had made at Badland Bumpers. You might want to look up Jeff's website http://www.badlandbumpers.com and email him about it. His work is first rate in my opinion. He is kinda far from you but I am sure that he would do it for sure.

Well I went ahead and emailed TireGate again and got a quick response. Looks like they are working on a TireGate for the 07 Chevy and the 89-95 Toyota pick-up TireGate is next. So I'm gonna check back in another month and keep my fingers crossed.

I would consider making something like that. Good pics and dimensions...it should not be an issue.

That is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you. I wonder why they closed his thread on TTORA though?

Have you still not found anything? I've been wanting to make a tire gate for my 89 too, but it is out of commission until i have funds for it.
