My dad built one like that years ago in his flatfender. I’ll look to see if I have any pics anywhere.i'd like to find an old rear seat frame and see if i could make a spare tire perch that would latch in to the floor brackets and be removable when needed.

No spacers or bumpers needed.
Right on. Is it just the four bolts (2/side) mounting it to the tub? Looks like you used the seat bracket mounting locations?
I have very little time on it since being tub mounted. It's not my daily driver and I only had it on a couple of trails before I broke my front axle ending my season.@hosejockey61 im curious if you’ve noticed a difference in balance since mounting your spare in the tub.
Report back as you get more time with it. I’m interested in increasing climbing ability but would only give up cargo space if it makes a big difference.I have very little time on it since being tub mounted.

With that being said, the two trips were definitely noticable mainly because I shed a ton of weight. Also, my departure angle is awesome now as I'm not getting hung up on the bumper or tire when on a steep incline or when coming off a ledge.
One thing I will do as time allows us to raise it just a little bit to create more room under it for tools etc. I thought I would have enough but not quite.
Haha bored? I don't have time to be bored!If you ever get bored and accidentally make another one, I would totally buy it. That is awesome. Something I've joked with buddies about doing, but never thought to actually do it.
Great work, thanks for sharing
