EVO Tire carrier pin?

SmokinV10 · Aug 4, 2014

Has anyone upgraded their rear tire carrier pins to something with a ball detent and button? If so, do you have a part number to order? Also has anyone used safety wire or some other method to keep them from growing legs and walking off in parking lots?

Try to search eBay for hitch pin or receiver pin.

I know exactly what your looking for but couldn't find anything that looked decent so I ended up with a hitch receiver lock.

Pretty rare to have someone "walk away" with a 37/40" tire... But I have seen some weird shit!

I've been looking for a while too, right now I'm still using the ones it came with but I'd love to hear if anyone finds anything!

Saw this as a lawn mower hitch pin but have no idea if it's the same specs/diameter as a standard hitch pin

Exactly where I was going to suggest, lol.

Does it take a 5/8" pin or 1/2" pin? How long does it need to be?

I was thinking something like this with some safety wire:

Just cool looking stuff. I just don't know what diameter or desired length. Matches the cad coating on the Johnny joints.

OK here are measurements of pin from tractor supply

Shaft excluding red part is 4.25 inch
With red is 4.75

Hard to measure (tapers on end) but diameter seems be 1/2 inch ...

Pins that came w evo ones are better than TS ones

Must be another east coast problem, I get maybe 6-8 months out of them.
