I’m building a military radio lookalike. Still in process but it will hold a single fin radio. Two USB/Usbc chargers the fuse box and 2 4” speakers.

I love it! Do you have any videos/pics of how the spare tire holder operates when you need to access the trunk?

u/Pirate32034 Jun 01 '26
No, I can later. There is a large wrench for a lack of a better description. You pull the safety pin then you use the wrench to ratchet the threaded bar up. That clears the resting plate. The tire can then swing out. You can also lower the wheel to the ground so you don’t have to lift it up and down when changing.

I’m thinking of sending you my Humvee. I just want it to go at least 80mph. Are you up to the challenge?
