The build of Clifford's tire carrier...

[OhNoTheJiggies]

Great job, it looks really good. Can't wait to see the carrier progress

 

[Clifford33]

You should mass produce and sell this lol

Aha yeah when I showed my mother in law she told me the same thing.

 

[Clifford33]

Thanks guys! Yeah it's pretty strong I could stand on it if I wanted to and have no problems. The real test is on the trails so maybe I'll take the jeep out next weekend.

It is a great excuse! "But honey, i have to make sure it will stand up to the vibrations and the torture of the trails! That way i know it wont break on the freeway/road."

It is turning out beautiful!

Man that carrier is looking stout. Nice job on bringing your design out of a piece of steel plate like that. Beefy for sure. Not gonna be any tera-cracking going on there, that's for sure! [emoji6]

[Clifford33]

Thanks guys .. Yeah I used 3/16 and 1/4 inch steel on it.

Where did you get the bushing? Looking into building a body mount carrier as well.

I got mine at Kar Tec Off-road it's a pretty cool website they have all kinds of sizes. I have the 1-3/4 by 3 inch ones.

 

[Clifford33]

made all 4 of my brackets and tested the door hinge to make sure it will clear the bracket when opened.

Flip flops in the shop? Risky business!

 

[Clifford33]

Yeah I was to lazy to go put shoes on. Got a few burns so I'll be wearing shoes now.

Lol. Been there. I welded one day without a shirt on for like 20 minutes, My entire chest was burnt other than where the bottom of the welding helmet was.

 

[Clifford33]

so the first set of brackets weren't going to work so I got some more metal and got 1 hinge done. I checked to make sure the tail gate opens and it's all good[emoji4] time to make 3 more :/ at least there's only 2 with the tail gate. To me a while to get it just right.
