Finally I hope these pictures get posted. Spare tire rack and aluminum fender extensions.

I like the rack, and I may have to do the same. No spare tire on my Salem and I don't want to hang one off the rear since I want to put a proper receiver hitch back there for a cargo tray.
Were you getting excessive spray off of the tires? I always felt bad for whoever was behind our pod with all the spray it would fling.

I was getting mud splattered up the sides of the trailer. I don't know about those following close behind us, never thought of it. No one ever complained that I know of.

That's because they had already crashed and burned 3 miles back.

Looks like a nice install! I am finishing up the install of the BAL under mount tire carrier and plan to post pics to the Facebook page as soon as it is done.

Nice install! Am curious about the fender extensions, though. Why did you opt for aluminum rather than a softer "mud flap" kind of material that has a little give to it? Or maybe I just didn't look close enough at the photo?

I had the aluminum, I didn't have the rubber or plastic for mud flaps. I did the same with our r-pod and they seemed to work with no problem. I guess it all came down to why spend the money in buying mud flaps when I had aluminum that would work. My Uncle is a engineer and he called them fender extensions and that is the way I think of them. I have thought of maybe bending the corners to flare them out a little still thinking about that.
