Double swing Jeep tire carrier

[duhicky]

Fun project I did for a customer who just wanted something unique.

 

[Robertel1]

For the Off-road enthusiasts who wants their Spare-tire, Plus Chainsaw, Hi-Lift Jack, Shovel, and Axe too. Custom made in Montana. Mechanical Engineering at its best !.
A useful application for off-roading in that part of the country. I like it.

Not an axe, a Pulaski. Great tool, great story (named after the firefighter who invented it)

Factory mounts don't like the weight of bigger tires. Missing the shovel, first through in the spring, there is usually some road building involved.

Sorry missed the shovel.

Nice job, looks good.

Not sure why the 'jeepers have to display a highlift jack. The shovel is more useful. Anyhow good looking rig.

 

[bad_idea]

I have used my hi lift several times off road and only used the shovel twice. Both are good to have. I keep my hi lift in the interior though, out of the weather.

awesome work, great ability to carry all the trail tools he could ever need.

it is not a display, it is a tool to use.

Good job!

I am curious, though, about the tabs holding the heim joints on both sides. Are they simply welded to the rear quarter panels, or somehow reinforced underneath the panels?

I like the patina'd old truck.

 

[Messagesty]

That's looking great and nice job.

I believe the concept is that it’s easier to get to and saves space on a small vehicle. Thank you for your compliment and taking a look

Thanks everyone for your kind words!

This Jeep is wrapped in body armor that is 1/4” thick and that’s what the tabs weld too.

Here’s a quick video of how it opens/closes and latches.

Impressive !...Very ingenious !

 

[Bigblue&Goldie]

That's cool! I couldn't figure out what was going on in the pictures, but that latch system is neat.

Makes sense.

I toted one around on my CJ for 10 years and never had a need for it when four wheeling. Took it off 15 years ago and still haven't missed it.

 

[Keyblazer]

Very cool and organic design!

 

[tarbellb]

Legit!
