<![CDATA[Tire carrier for my jeep]]>Alright, here is the tire carier for my jeep that i have been working on for quite a while now. Finally decided to get it done. Its a fold down style, i use it as a step to get to the roof. I should have pulled it in towards the window more but that means i can just store something behind there. Im adding gas can holders to both sides between the tails and license plate. I know, i just have the doughnut spare on there til my new wheels and tires come in.

It would more then likely be a triangle design and it would swing far enough out to open the hatch, that is if you know how to build it correctly.

huhwtf?

no, it wouldn't mount to the hatch if it was a swing out. The pivot would be far enough out that you'd swing it out and raise the hatch just fine.

Quit crying like a baby. Its the internet, obviously serious business.

If you can't handle a little criticism then its probably best that you never log on again.

What you guys think is that i use my hatch every day... I dont haul anything, and i only go in the hatche when i need to do something. I cant haul anything more. I have a Lincoln Pro Mig 140, Power inverter, and a tool box back there. I am putting expanded steel mesh on the back of the top half to use as a little welding table for repairing parts on the trail or whatever. I do not want a swing out carrier, if i wanted one i would have built one. The backup lights are big so i can actually see shit, XJ's have really crappy lights that do not shine enough to see anything. Now i can actually see shit when backing.

and WTF is the things that go to where the top connects?

your reason for not making a swing out carrier was poor if not bad planning. and why do you need bad ass reverse lights?

it justs looks like your trying to hard to make a "bad ass" carrier. why not just make one that works well now, then latter if you want to add a little style to it change it....

now this is just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt..... but thumbs up for making your own stuff

Also how is it elaborate? it folds down and has 2 pins, not even a latch to hold in in place.

And as far as blocking the rear view, the only windows in ND that cant be completely blocked are the front three, i could spray paint the rest of my windows black if i felt like it.

The only problem with legality is it blocks the third brake light. But almost all production carriers do to.
