Pics of Rebuilt Tire Carrier Mount

[Depdog]

Here are some shots of the new mount I did on the tire carrier. It now pivots off of bearings and a trailer stub axle. There is a second pivot point off the body that uses leaf spring bushings so that it can have some give.

What did you use in the hinge, bearings or is that a bushing I see?

i have mine dont similar. I have two plates coming off my bumper and then a square tube going in with a hole drilled the smae size as he bolt and then bolted togther with washers. The bad this now is that the hole in the square tubing is wearing and i was going to weld on a piece of round tubing and use two bearings and washers, then bolt it back together.

The top one off the body is a set of bushings for the front frame eye of the front shackle. The bottom is a stub axle shaft for a trailer with a pair of greased tapered bearings (like front wheel bearings). I had some pipe that I turned down inside for the bearing races to set into.
