darrel Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Today I finished up with a project that needed to be done. Installing and moving the spare wheel. We have been running around for two years without a spare wheel. Since we are leaving in about one month for Alaska I wanted to have a spare wheel on board. Because of other mod's I did, the spare was left behind. After much calculating I decided to mount the spare where it was originally mounted, to the cross member just rear of the rear end. There is a plastic plug covering a hole on both sides of the frame. This hole is lined up where the original spare wheel lift was mounted. Removed the plug, mounted the spare wheel lift, and fabricated a crank rod from the original rod. This rod exits the rear skirt behind the right rear wheel. Now all I have to do is use the original crank handle to raise-lower the wheel. The crank rod is permanent now. I also had to rework the propane lines. Also had to have the rear exhaust rerouted to make clearance for the wheel. Everything worked out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
