Need some help
I have a 92 fullsize Bronco, the spare tire is on the inside. I would like to put a external tire rack. If I can find a factory one on a wrecked Bronc would it be fairly simple to install or are there some tricks. If anyone has done this I would really appreciate the help. I would like the extra storage.

Welcome to FTE and the Big Bronco Forum. Check the Red Link in my signature. The short answer is... not an OEM rack. The gusseting is not present in the rear quarter. Some aftermarket or bumper mounted racks would work.

I wonder how far you'll get with something that completely blocks your rear license plate.

not just that but also it probably wouldnt hold anything larger then a 31" tire.
your gonna need something custom made. what part of the country do you live because i know a few guys that can make ya a really sweet rear bumper for a great price and it will hold a 38 if you needed it to.

Thanks for the help

What about a cargo rack on top. Mount your tire Hi-Lift and external lights if necessary. Just food for thought.
