Pics of new Tire Carrier

Built my new Tire Carrier Friday night and got it done on Saturday. Here is some pics...I used a 2000lb spindle/bearing setup (bought it locally Kro-built Trailers=$40), 2x1.5x 0.120wall, and a few bolts....Let me know what you think!








It has been great already...besides the fact I cant see anymore, It doesnt rattle, shake or bounce even on the highway...I am very pleased with the way it turned out.

Thanks jgai11bb for posting those for me...
I built the bumper and the boxed rockers, I have thought about selling the bumper/TC combo, but out of my garage I dont know that I would be efficient enough to make it worth while, If I had a shop I might be able mass produce them...we'll see, maybe I could collaborate w/ some fab company....Anyone out there interested????


Thanks for the compliments!
