Poll - Thinking of removing the stock tire carrier
As the title states.. thinking of removing the stock tire swing out carrier and down the road adding custom bumpers including an integrated carrier out back. I do still have not only the stock rim and lock for the rear but the original tire.. so kind of cool but probably not real safe (a little dry rot)
Anyway thought has crossed my mind on filling in the holes in the rear and smoothing things out.
As you know this will never be a trail king... its a street queen ;)
Thoughts?

Re: Poll - Thinking of removing the stock tire carrier
If you are keeping it original, the carrier looks awesome and love the chrome stock bumpers. Are you keeping the chrome beltline trim? Before I vote, I would like to know what kind of custom bumper you are thinking.

Re: Poll - Thinking of removing the stock tire carrier
If you are putting a custom front winch bumper then that makes my vote easier.

Re: Poll - Thinking of removing the stock tire carrier
Keep it stock. You have your trail rig, so I'd only do modifications that are reversible on the street truck.

I would say keep the original look if you like the look, change it if you don't. =)

Re: Poll - Thinking of removing the stock tire carrier
HA HA, I remember naking the comment that you would have a hard time leaving it stock based on your full size. I'm just sayin. :) Cut It up and wheel it!!!!

Re: Poll - Thinking of removing the stock tire carrier
I saw an EB at a car show once that had custom speaker boxes built to look gas cans. I thought that was pretty sweet. Doesn't really help with front speakers as they were in the back.
