Rear spare tire carrier?

Where can I get one of those cool spare tire carriers that are attached to the back of the Thing? Anybody know about how much they cost?

I got one... needs some TLC and paint. Where are you located?

here's a somewhat similar question - instead of spending $275 for a Thing Shop version, has anyone installed a spare tire carrier from another vehicle? perhaps something you could get from the junkyard for $50?

I'm in San Diego, Ca- I'm assuming that the LA you're from isn't Los Angeles- might be a little far for me to go. Wow- 275 bucks? Seems a little pricey-

It could be possible. It will reqire creativity, and possibly welding.
Also, find another junkyard. That's way too much.

I'm interested in your tire carrier...

Please send details to tsunde@isd.net.

$50 for the carrier (needs rust removal and paint) (too big to ship)

$25 for a trailer hitch (I have two) (needs rust removal and paint)

$300 for a fiberglass top good condition. (too big to ship)

All four doors / hood and deck lid / hinges / thing light / make offer...

doors and lids have rust need restoration.

plus shipping of course... Louisiana

You are lucky I was about to sell it elsewhere. I thought you decided not to buy it.
