Shipping would be rediculous to AZ from PA....thats all 1/4" wall tubing and plate there...probably weighs in at around 45-50 lbs w/out the tire....lol

Well, you made it, Bro. That is what counts. I bought mine new for $25 on Ebay with free shipping. I welded on the mounting bracket by adding more metal to the bracket to make it stronger. I added bigger grade 8 bolts. They will never rust. If it is an accident the spare is not going anywhere!!!

 

[brinker88]

Nice....I think I have about $30 total in mine...but I dont think it will EVER go anywhere lol 1/4" steel plate and 1/4" wall tubing...lol

I'm going to build a roof rack, so that's where my recovery gear is going along with my spare. Let's see if my roof will take the weight without warping

make tubing so it anchors to the B pillar

Hmm, worth a shot. I'll give it a try.

nice tailgate, makes it easy to see when backing on a tight trail.. I think the handles on the carrier are a little excessive(big) but great ideas otherwise.

Looks good to me, hey who knows maybe he has big old hands and can spin the handle off with ease

 

[brinker88]

I think im going to cut them down and reweld them...they are a BIT excessive....
