FabTech also has a universal spare tire carrier. It's also adjustable for 31"- 35" tires. Here's pics of mine, still contemplating drilling into the bed or continue to save for a bed cage. View attachment 16317View attachment 16318

You could take that tire rack and make a frame kinda like what I started out with and weld it to that. That way you wouldn't have to drill holes into the bed.

I really like that idea! I may just do that! I got this carrier as a gift for helping a friend so I haven't put a lot of thought into it yet.

I would love to have a cool bed/tire rack, but am too cheap and have zero welding skills. I think I have $20 invested in 4 bed bolts to hold down my 2nd spare. Survived TRR, a few trips to Cycle Ranch, and some other trips to Arizona and Wyoming. And it lets me roll my cover shut when fully loaded. Something to consider if focusing on other mods or if your check book is just tired.
