Tire carrier for my jeep

[KA-T_240]

I can see why you need light, when driving a lifted vehicle, its nice to be able to see more stuff when backing up.

and WTF is the things that go to where the top connects?

[DrifterExtreme]

they look like heim joints with some sort of rod to be able to adjust it.

this works for what i want it for. What you guys think is that i use my hatch every day... I dont haul anything, and i only go in the hatche when i need to do something. I cant haul anything more. I have a Lincoln Pro Mig 140, Power inverter, and a tool box back there. I am putting expanded steel mesh on the back of the top half to use as a little welding table for repairing parts on the trail or whatever. I do not want a swing out carrier, if i wanted one i would have built one. The backup lights are big so i can actually see shit, XJ's have really crappy lights that do not shine enough to see anything. Now i can actually see shit when backing.

whatever, i am done here, no one can support anyone elses ideas on this forum so screw it. i will just stop posting my projects here. I know no one would support the rest of what i am doing to it so i wont even go there.

oh boo hoo

Quit crying like a baby. Its the internet, obviously serious business.

If you can't handle a little criticism then its probably best that you never log on again.

oh now don't get all butt hurt over someone's opinion......

[DelSlow]

don't post pictures of something you did and expect everyone to kiss your ass about it...

[jst1cam]

swing style is way better IMO!

I can get some pictures of ones my dad has made if you want

[GarageAlchemist]

I like it. If it would be swing style would it have to mount to the hatch? if so i can see why you put it that way, as the hatch wouldnt lift, but im not sure if it would mount to the hatch or not. I like that rear bumper though for sure. Keep posting projects Harwood, come on!

huhwtf?

no, it wouldn't mount to the hatch if it was a swing out. The pivot would be far enough out that you'd swing it out and raise the hatch just fine.

[jst1cam]

The pivot would go all the way on either side of the bumper and only mount there.

It would more then likely be a triangle design and it would swing far enough out to open the hatch, that is if you know how to build it correctly.

I like it, looks like Chuck Norris in tube steel.
