actually I lied, data tag on door

Saw these on ebay and was thinking about puchasing these. I believe they look to be exactly like the one that came on it.

Decided to add the rear tire carrier and this thing is very heavy duty and very cool. It does not attach to the tail gate at all. Just the outside edges. Came with intruction and every thing need to put it on. It opens up in the middle and swings out. Ordered up a couple of metal jerry cans, one for water and one for gas. Getting ready to paint the rack out to match the truck like it should be.

Added the new leaf spring helpers to restore the stance and added the new tires and it looks much better now. After installing the helpers I was able to with a 32" tire instead of 31's. The 31's would of looked a hair to small on it. Pics will be coming soon. Also got the front push bar off and ready to paint. Also will paint the nos roof rack that I got and installing that as well. Hope to fix the only rust spot on the truck real soon as well and blend that area out to match. Then I'll go around and touch up the little spots on it.

Thought some of you guys might like to see the instructions for the hickey rear tire rack.
