A.J.: What's up, everybody It's A.J. with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be checking out the Erickson spare tire carrier bracket. You can see that I've gotten one of my spare tires mounted to the wall right now. It's nice because it's up and out of the way. I had a bunch of spare tires I was carrying.
I threw them on here for a long time, but then it got in the way of the fun stuff I was trying to pull in. Then put it on the shelves for a while. Now I'm annoyed that they're on the shelf, taking up all that shelf space. I want to put some more things in here instead, so I needed a solution to get them off of there and up off the ground and make sure they're secure and not rolling around back here. And this is the perfect solution for that.All the components in the bracket itself are made out of zinc-plated steel.
So even if you don't put yours inside of an enclosure like we have today, you can put it on an open trailer or something. It's going to hold up to the elements. Let's go ahead and back it off so we can take a closer look at the mounting bracket itself. Now this does fit wheels from 14 to 15 inch in size, and it's a no-tool installation, so that's nice. You can hand tighten it and hand loosen it.
And just like that, we remove the tire. This is the mounting bracket itself. You can see it mounts with two screws. Now, it doesn't come with that hardware. You have to find your own.
We used wood screws today in the side of our trailer, but it was a pretty easy install. Let's check out how we did it.So I took one of the spare tires down off the shelf. I wanted to use this one to help us mount the spare tire carrier. I'm going to put it right where I want it. I want it touching the ground here next to the shelves, but at least it's up and to the sidewall, giving more room on the shelf and over here on the floor. I'm going to line up this bracket with the tire in place. And then I suggest marking some holes, which I've already done.I pulled away the tire to give you a better look at the holes I marked here for the bracket. We're just going to go ahead and line that up and use some wood screws and put it in the side of the trailer. With the top one started, you want to make sure you go ahead and put the rod through, because once you screw it into the side of the trailer, you can't do that. So we're just going ahead and slide it through, put it down, get it out of the way. Now we'll fully fasten the bracket to the wall of the trailer.Looks good. Here's something I want to show you before we add the tire on there. If the rod's in your way and you don't currently have a tire mounted to the spare tire carrier, you can just go down the slot here and flip it around, and it faces down and out of the way so you don't have to worry about it hitting your shins when you're walking around in your trailer.Now we're ready to add our tire. Just going to roll it over here, line it up with where the rod comes through the center, lift up the tire, and move it in towards the wall. I'm going to grab our plate and feed that on like so. Our wing nut here on the outside. Make sure the groove of the plate is on the outside and the wings of this nut are facing outward. And just start tightening it down. It's not going anywhere.It was that easy to install. Just two screws in the side of the wall, and my tire's up and secure. You see I'm shaking the trailer back and forth. This tire's not rattling or anything like that, so it's not going anywhere. I got it up off the floor and off of my shelf, making more room in my trailer. We can even add another one here and stack the other one on the shelf on top of this one if we wanted to.That does it for our look at the Erickson spare tire carrier bracket. Hope this helped.

The EM77316 is doing its job well after 1 year. It hasnt been touched since installation. I plan to buy 2 more when my new trailer is delivered I sure hope the cost comes down, just too expensive for how small and simple it is.

Great- I used it to mount spare flat on the trailer bed, then load RZR over the spare wheel.

Nice install, the photos really help show how cleanly you mounted it on the EX Hauler Alex. Glad to hear it was a quick and straightforward setup using the self-tapping screws. What are you mainly using it for in your trailer?
