Wish i had a pic of it. all i remember its they looked really well made and spare tire was on this thing that folds down. Looked like a real good idea, beats lifting a 38" tire off. Anyone have any idea what i am talking about?? any help would be great. thx

The bumper it's self was a kit from 4X4Iron, that I welded together.
The tire carrier portion, was a borrowed idea from DPI I believe, that I modified to use the clevis brackets as hinges as well as their original purpose. I had a "local" fabricator bend the tubing for me, a machine shop fab the ends that slide inside the tubing and act as hinges. The hardware came from Tractor Supply, the tire mount is the end of an 1/2 ton axle. :D
I would imagine that I have near $750.00 in it. :p:


I'm working on a fabrication How-To article, but it ain't ready yet. :wink1:
 
You could also contact Kert at DIY4X (cybrfire), I think he's looking for an excuse to make one of his rear's with a flip down carrier like that.

Might have been his idea I modified, instead of DPI.......I'm terrible with names/initials! :rolleyes:
 
OK i will see what diy wants for one , just need to get some more cash together. thx guys
 
Dontoe,
Can you take some pic's the latch the keeps that keeps the tire up and post them? Also, what is the size/type of the tubing?
 
Thats because the spare was mine, James carried it so I would have more room in the truck for my kids stuff. He did later keep that spare tire and buy four new ones the same size.
