Look at the excursion in the link. It has a 5 lug wheel for the spare.

Maybe he carries it for when other people get a flat.

The mounting head that mounts the tire interchange with all our racks. We were using the spare off one of our rigs at the shop for mock-up and it had a 5 on 5.5 pattern. Good catch.

Loving your bumpers/tireracks. I sent an email off you site for a quote.
Do you do any front winch bumpers ?

Im interested in putting a carrier on mine because I cant have the 37" tire inside. Do you make any that will keep my stock bumper?

Hi Mike! Sadly I had to sell this truck, but it went to a good home. Here is another pic of the rack Mike makes, and the sweet '86 F350 I had the pleasure of owning for a short time.

Mike really is a stand-up guy.

I have been patiently waiting for about 3 wks for a bumper and carriers to be built for my X from Cross Ent. Cost for the setup as seen in the photo is in the $1300-1400 range. (i have theexactquote to my desk at work) plus shipping. These are built to order, so be prepared to wait. The X in the pics is the owners Truck btw.

I'll post pics when I get my hands on one. Brian

And their system requires a new bumper, and the stock reciever hitch works with it. Also includes reverse sensor holes if desired.

so $1300 and that does or does not include the bumper? I assumed it did but then you said it requires a new bumper which sounds like its not included.

Thats for all 3, bumper/jerry can holer/ tire rack.

One of the previous posts asked if you couldget a rack without a bumper, with the cross ent setup the anwser is no. Sorry for the confusion.

Thats really pretty cheap compared to what some others charge... The ex has such a simple rear bumper shape that I don't think it'd be too hard to make one yourself if you were motivated. I imagine these bumpers have a healthy profit margin on them.

I've got a rack without the bumper. No doubt they can be made with 2 swings if needed. Just uses up your hitch.
