BED MOUNTED SPARE TIRE BRACKET INSTALLED

Hi guys, like many of you, over the years I've accumulated a bunch of missing stuff for my m37. Most of it sits in my basement or garage awaiting its turn to be installed. I realized once I installed my new starter that I had a few other things I could install quickly without using up a bunch of time.

So, last Friday it was 40 degrees and sunny so I dug out my bed-mount spare tire bracket and finally mounted it. Since my truck already looks like a collection of cann-point parts I wasn't worried about blasting off the old paint or surface rust-might as well stay "in character" so to speak. Sure looks a lot better than the ratchet strap that previously held the spare in place. The 81MM mortar can holds my tire chains, and the gray tarp is for my runs to the dump.

Next, the slave receptacle....

Gary-

Is that 81 mm mortar can mounted in the bed, or just sitting there.

If it's just sitting, do you have issues with it sliding around, or does it stay fairly well?

Hi John,
Right now that cheesy little bike chain keeps it from hopping out of the bed. It's just sitting there. I have a camo ratchet strap that I will utilize soon to make it more secure, even though there's nothing stopping some thief from popping off the top. I suppose I should get a hasp and weld it on....
