Looks good. What did you to beef up the bumper?
LOTS of .1875 plate with a couple of 1.50" tube braces!

That is SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!! That would be PERFECT for my needs!!! Would you be willing to make another for a profit? If so, how much would ya charge? What size tire do ya think it can hold without being too much??

Don't forget to move you plate when you mount the tire.

Other than the hinge looking a little inadequate to hold the tire at full swing, I like it A LOT! Very simple and clean. Looks factory.

Definitely looks really nice. But, I am with Eric. That little spindle is probably not going to live long.

Looks good but I agree about the spindle. My spindle looks to be about 3x that size.

it looks good i would like to see pics of how you beefed up the mounts too
I used a piece of 2.25" x .375" DOM with a 1.25" shaft. It has a bronze bushing pressed in as well as a bronze washer between the mount and the carrier. PLENTY strong enough... as long as you don't carry a 39" bogger or something...

I'm sorry, I wasn't very specific in my statement. It sounds like the hinge itself is strong but what about the section where the carrier mounts to the shaft. Will that be able to hold? I'm not well versed on strength or shear strength on the materials used. That thing could be strong enough to mount a full set of tires on and have strength to spare and I wouldn't know it. LOL I still like the fit and finish of the whole thing. I'd love to see the sub-structure.
