H2 swing away spare tire mount

Has anyone installed one on a K5 or fabbed a similar one up and mounted it up using the bumper bolts?

Wish I could find one cheap if it will work.

Could see it for a daily driver but it's gonna kill the departure angle on a wheeler.

Re: H2 swing away spare tire mount

I think the O-riginal is way better, it holds the tire up and out of the way.

Re: H2 swing away spare tire mount

This one isnt stock, Im looking at a stock one tomorrow that A guy wants $200 for. Any body work with a stock one? The guy said it just bolts flush to the back of an H2 so it shouldent be too hard to rig up.

Re: H2 swing away spare tire mount

my budy made his that way using the rear spindle off an Accord I think. Fabbed up his own bumber & carrier. I'll see if I can get some pics soon. Been bugging him to get on this site for over a year. I'll bug him some more tomorrow.

Thanks,
But, I picked up a stock outside from a boardmember and unfortunately don't have an inside one.

This is an old thread, but I was seeking an answer to the same question. Didn't find a good answer, so I went ahead and did it. Found an H2 spare bracket, BFG A/T tire, and the rim for $350 on Craigslist. It will work if you have an after-market bumper and can do a bit of modifying. I have one on my K5. Works like a charm.
