    Nice Work! Thanks for the write up. I'm looking forward to redoing mine and making it a swinger. ;)

    Vanguard, I used a Lincoln Electric 110v from Lowe's. All the welds are strong. I can sit on the tire carrier when it's swung out with no problems. Feels really solid. The 3/16" stuff I beveled most of, and I had a certified welder look at them and he said they were fine. Thanks for the compliments.

    Looks good - your approach to the bumper is pretty much how my Cross unit is done.

    Very nice! My first welding project was a tire carrier also. But my welds don't look that good.

    Quaggy has graciously allowed me to host this writeup here in our Tech section as well. No banners. :D

    I've loaded it, so it's there now if you'd like to see it.

    Thanks Dave!

    I just got through building my tire carrier. I had a little different application but the gist was the same.

    Scott,
    Webshots won't let you display images other than on their page.

    You need to supply links to your album

    Looks like that winch would get you stuck about as often as it would get you out.

    Flux I was using D-3 to 3.5 for the thicker stuff. A little faster line speed for the thinner stuff.
