Sloan 04-12-2002, 11:42 PM When building one's own rear bumper when purchasing the latch what holding capacity should one look for? Choices are; 360, 700 2,000 for the same latch in different sizes. Only thing that worries me is seeing my spare in the rear view skipping down the LA freeway...:eek: Old Scout 04-13-2002, 10:24 AM I just ordered latches for my tire rack. I'm using two 2000 lb ones They look like this (http://www.destaco.com/destaco/catalog.nsf/vwCatalogs/B3744684A93F04D105256A78005DFB86!OpenDocument&SearchResult) There only 19.75 ea from JL industrial Old Scout 04-13-2002, 10:33 AM Here is a better pic Sloan 04-13-2002, 11:08 AM That's funny, that is the same latch. www.reidtool.com These guys have all sorts of bizarre clamps etc. Live Wire 04-13-2002, 06:29 PM I used the stock Landcruiser latches on my rack. If I was using aftermarket latches, I would go BIG. Nice pic Old Scout. Mr.N 04-13-2002, 06:47 PM I'm pulling a rear tail gate latch from an early 80's toyota PU. Looks like it'll work fine and only cost $6.00. | |
