    Thanks David for a great write-up, nice photos and fine workmanship. I hope I can do as well when I build my own carrier.

    Fantastic!! I am in the process of getting thing together to build a carrier myself and I was most interested in the "pivot" mechanism. Your pictures really are worth a thousand words. Between you, Mcruff and a few others, I am well on my way to spare tire bliss.

    Cool writeup. Just what I need.

    Anyone know of a source for a hinge? ;)

    Nice job on your tire rack. Very good welding.

    What kind of paint did you use? Was it gloss black or simi gloss?

    THanks

    Thanks David, Just wondering, I am redoing, a 56 Willy's CJ5 and was getting ready to do some paint on the frame and bumper. Think I will use the same paint.

    Regards
    Cliff
