Another tire carrier build

[Dean_swords]

I'm new to this forum thing but I thought I would join and add pictures so that if there is anyone else out there like me trying to research some builds, there would atleast be a couple of options.

I built this entirely in my garage using my factory bumper with added support of course. I don't have all the pictures from the build but it took around two weeks. I'll post all I have.

These last few are after powder coat. I had to use a wheel off my truck because it's kind of hard to afford one more 20x12 and a 35" mud tire.

Also for reference I used 2x3 3/16 thick tubing for the bottom that runs along the bumper and 2x2 3/16 thick for the braces going up to the center. The only major tools I used are a drill press for all holes. I used hole saws for anything bigger than a 5/8" hole, a grinder, and a Hobart handler 190 welder. I'm very pleased with how it all turned. My wheel and tire weighed in at 103 lbs and the tire carrier holds it with ease.

I forgot to add these of the support bolted in. The tubing is 1-1/4" by 1-1/4" I'm not exactly sure what gauge it is. The plated that bolt the bumper and frame are 1/4". Also this kit is fully removable and the factory plastics can be put back on for the factory look.

That came out great!! Love how you designed it with the bearing at the pivot.

That's pretty impressive!

Should be beefy enough to hold most anything.
