Using pictures from Ibis Tek's web sight, I went ahead and took a shot at scratch building the spare tire mount.
I surprised myself! Next will be the fuel can rack. I still have to cable up the BFT/SINCGAR/ASIIP mount.
I see now end in sight!

Excellent job.
What is very interesting about their .pdf, is that they show a bias-ply spare on a vehicle running radials.

Pete, you're a styrene virtuoso. This spare tire carrier and the BFT setup are jaw-dropping. Seriously, if you ever want to make extra money, you should cast these parts and sell them to us lesser mortals.
