Trailer upgrades

[Raphael]

So I finally got a spare tire mount for my trailer! Unfortunately the 2005 model didn't come with a spare tire mount so I've been toting the spare in my my Jeep and or boat for the past two years only to find out it only cost $120 to have a mount installed, I also had a new wench installed $35 and new tires $72 each. I am officially ready for summer

Raphael, I had the side mount, and loved being able to step onto the trailer tongue, on to the spare, and into the boat without much effort. Here is the mount the dealership installed, nuts and bolts, no welding, and it was as secure 4 years later as the first day installed. Sell the weld version and install one of these for $28!

I had them weld the mount underneath instead of side mount and they painted it to match the boat trailer, I don't know if it was worth the extra money and I don't care haha, it's done and I don't ever have to worry about the spare again.

$28 is a great price

I misunderstood...I thought you had not yet had it installed...

No worries, I'm just getting excited for boating season. Thanks for the input

I would be excited too, if I had powell in my backyard!

I'm glad you posted that link, I need one for the boat trailer and my enclosed trailer, I searched Amazon like I do for anything before buying and got 2 of the same mount for the same price but free shipping.

Here are a couple of pictures, those of you that have the newer models with spare tire mounts can't appreciate how awesome this is
