Id like to add a swing out tire carrier to my trail gear bumper and want to know if anyone has done/thought about doing this. The only problem i can see is that the only place to mount the spindle would set it right in front of the tail light restricting view.
I built one off a all pro tube rear bumper and it worked pretty good, need to beef up or triangulate the mounts a little and add frame plates cause its alot of weight hanging off the end of the frame and mine would shake the whole truck going down the freeway at 75mph.
ill see if i can find any pics of it
That looks good BOVADS. how much does the tire obstruct your view in the rear view? would you go left/right or center with the mounting point for the tire if you had to do it over?
its not too bad, but noticeable. i put it on drivers side for better visability, i can look out side window to see something that tire blocks view of. it worked well, i usually only used it on longer trips or when i had my shell on and i was gonna be sleeping in it
