'84 K5 Build (Midlife Crisis)

I’m looking forward to seeing it in person. Never been to Moab or any out of town wheeling trip. All my off-roading has been in Nevada basically. Hell, even back when I was a kid racing dirt bikes it was always Nevada. Haha.
You'll love it. Have fun on the adventure!
 
Mike's shade roll is huge on the jeep
 
how are you going to latch it?
 
I’m gonna order a tire mounting plate from diy4x
And get some more bushing assemblies and tabs to build the locking bar part.

very nice! thanks again for the help yesterday.
 
I like the design. We built a quick spare mount that folds down for mine. It fit into the tow receiver. After using it all summer I am growing tired of lifting it up to secure. I knew it would be a pain, but lacked time before the desert trip to do a swing out.

Mine will be changing.

Thanks. We’ll see if it works. I’m a little concerned about how well (if) the side bars will hold it up the way the angle is working out. :dunno:
 
Thanks for the votes everyone!
Now only if my tire carrier was a winner... :frown
 
Just what I was afraid of. The pull pin point is too similar to the pivot point and won’t hold.

I think it’s going to have to go up higher like this but I really didn’t want to attach to the body...:thinking:

Or could it work this simply? Only a tack on each corner of the tab holds the weight. So two fully welded tabs should hold huh?
