Locking Utility Trailer Spare Tire Mount for $5 

I like that floorjack technique of lifting ur spare into place !! 👍👍

Always happy to find someone whose favorite tool isn't a credit card. Thanks for the ideas.

Best one I’ve seen yet. You did a great job thanks for sharing. I’ll be making mine this weekend 👍🏽

Very creative approach to securing the tire. Well-done video, too. Thanks!

I love this idea, might try it with a spare tire assembly off a junkyard car

Some great, low-cost solutions here. Nicely done.

I was looking for a better way to mount a spare tire. I came across your video. I said this will work. It did work great and I really like we’re it is. Thank you.

Great idea....exactly what I have been looking for.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Good solutions like this are hard to find. Thanks!

Thank you your idea is just what I was looking for.

That is what I am talking about. Cheap and effective

Absolutely brilliant..im doing the exact same thing..

love it !!!.. going to do this too. I have same box!

Great work bud keep it up

Great idea, solved my problem!

I like the idea. I like the wood wearing instead of metal wearing into the wheel. It will probably be ok forever. Even if the wood failed it would be caught by the carriage bolt heads. But I would not be looking forward to taking 4 rusted wing nuts off that have been sprayed directly behind the tow vehicle for who knows how long. 1/2 thread is 3/4 hex head/nut size anyway so if you have 3/4 hex lug nuts you're not carrying anymore tools than you would be anyway. If it is a different size you do have a toolbox it is bolted into...🤣

I'm seeing this 2 years later and am curious if it hit the ground. Looks like it would hold up, but i could see it hitting the ground pulling in/out of a parking lot or drive way.

Good stuff I will likely do this as well

The last idea I had was I crafted a tire winch underneath mine off a old Dodge truck, and winch the spare under it exactly like the truck pulling it.

How many times has the tire hit the ground (going over rocks, speed bumps, etc.)?

Country...Genius!

Great video thank you

Wish to could do this to my camper

Awesome idea!

Brilliant!! Thanks for sharing

Any contact issues? Did it touch a curb going up or down for example?

Thanks for the video!

I’m SURE someone else has this problem. My 5\8 utility trailer has brand new tires on it. Yesterday I noticed unusual black residue on one of the rims. It comes off easy but WHAT is it? The other rim is clean. I haul my ZT mower...that’s all. No noises or unusual handling problems. HELP

The box along with the tire up front would make the nose heavier than it needs to be.

if you don't have metal, put used motor oil on the wood so it won't rot

Don't suppose you have a link for the one for 16?

Clever

An accident waiting to happen. Don't use wood this way to secure anything to the underside of your trailer. Usually the rot will begin where the carriage bolt seats. This means you won't realize it's rotting until it fails completely. Obviously the carriage bolt heads are large enough to stop it from falling completely off. However, if the wood fails and ends up in your tire or another traveler's tire it could cause a serious problem. Use a strip of metal and paint it with rust prevention. Or don't. I just hope I'm not following you on the highway if it fails. It's a good idea and video. Just need to use the correct materials with your design.
