Donald Butcher 05-07-2002, 05:28 PM alright I am going to attempt to make a rear bumper that I can mount a spare tire to in the near future and would like to see some pictures of other people's designs. I have a 74 fj40. What thickness of tubing/ metal are you using and what did you use to make the upper part swing out? details please and pictures are awsome. Donald :beer: :usa: DCruiser138 05-07-2002, 10:15 PM i used some square tubing. just scrap stuff at the local steel place. it was my first project with my welder and didnt fall off or break yet hehe. http://www.rivercityrockcrawlers.com/~dcruiser138/images/tire%20racklft.jpg http://www.rivercityrockcrawlers.com/~dcruiser138/images/tire%20rack%20sd.jpg http://www.rivercityrockcrawlers.com/~dcruiser138/images/tire%20rack%20rght.jpg you can see my makeshift hinges.....:rasta: Red FJ 05-08-2002, 04:24 AM Here is one I made for a CJ, looks identical to mine on my 40. http://www.peake.com/occ/MyCJ-RearBumperTireCarrier/TireCarrier-paintedwLights.jpg Main bumper is 3x6, then 2" square tube and so on. All of it is 1/4" except the 2" tube.

Or is it not really an issue? DCruiser138 05-08-2002, 09:51 AM ugh....never really thought about it or cared. so i guess you can say i account for it by ignoring it hehe:rasta: really though, it hasnt been a problem yet. hopefully it wont tweek enough to break or snap it:flipoff2: DCruiser138 05-08-2002, 09:52 AM Originally posted by Eric Sweet license plate frame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :rasta: :rasta: Eskimo 05-09-2002, 05:47 AM Originally posted by Eric Sweet license plate frame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: I second that!!! :D :smokin: I'm in the process of checking the NC DMV to see if "NOTAJEEP" is taken... Shocker FZJ80 05-09-2002, 08:30 AM Here's a link to a site that caters mostly to 80 series, but he sells a spindle assembly you can use to make a spare tire carrier that swings solely on your rear bumper. http://www.sleeoffroad.com/products/spindle_main.htm Later, RJ | |
