SET SOLD LOCALLY!

Have used the Spare Tire here and there, but recently needed to use it while a tire was being repaired. The rim was pretty badly rusted. Structurally is sound but a lot of scale rust is flaking off. Question: Do I take this rim to a refurb shop for a basic sand blasting/paint job or is it...

one project for the new year will be a custom swing out (mounted on my stock bumper) to keep my spare, highlift, etc. on. doing a little research i found this site offering just hinges, or kits with hinges and latches, for those of use wanting to make our own instead of buying the full swing...
