I've seen a lot of posts about getting rid of the tire carrier and installing one. My question is, is there any kind of hardware I can get that would prevent my tire swing from swinging closed on me while not on level ground? I know I can use a bungee cord, but I'm looking for something more like a lock.

My mom had a Kia Sportage that had a locking mechanism so the tire would only swing so far and stop and lock in place. In order to close it there was a latch.

Does anyone know if there's anything like this for a bronco? I've looked and all I'm finding is the bracket that keeps the tire closed while driving.

Thanks!

Hi girl..,

I would think one would have to fabricate something like this.

Maybe something as simple as a drilled hole & a "pull-pin" ...?

Post a pic of the swivel points.., we may have other ideas.

Sorry for late response! Gpop is going to help drop in locking pins. Had him take a look at it along with my uneven grill guard. Gpop is always the answer! Will post pics when it gets done. May be awhile!
