A tire and tool carrier for trucks and the like. The carrier is in the form of a box-like support which is supported under the frame of a truck. It is comprised of a stationary box-like base to which is hinged a rear cover or door. The hinge point is to the rear of the mid-point of the tire in order that the tire may be tipped or moved. A floor of the cover has an arcuate tire positioning flange-like rim which serves to position the tire and also provides corner spaces at the rear and side walls of the cover to provide a storage area for tools. The cover provides a security protection to lock the tire and tools in a completely enclosed and restricted area. A spring means is provided as an assist to the cover in closing it from the open position after the tire is removed.
