Unfortunately the builder is like Chuck Morris, missing in action lolWill there be a tire carrier and right/left swing arm? For those that want to add a ladder or Jerry can holder.
We are all patiently waiting...give him a breakUnfortunately the builder is like Chuck Morris, missing in action lol
I dont think we mind the old swing out versionLife has been hitting me hard lately and right now costs are through the roof to the point that I can’t build these how I want to barely break even. I’ve got some ideas to scale some aspects back, and I will have to go back to the drawing board in a few places as I’m still trying to keep these things affordable. I wish I had a better update and I feel like I’m leading people on, but I haven’t forgotten about these swing outs at all and I still have every intention of bringing them back at some point when the time/costs/labor hits a good equilibrium

Yeah I like it too, but they’re just too labor intensive to produce and where I now live, I can’t be making as much noise as I used to to produce them.
Any word on when it will be availableI bought an 80 just so I could weld this kit up... waiting.. anxiously
@SUMMIT CRUISERS Jr noted on 8/23:Any word on when it will be available
Are you still selling these? I'm very interested. Also, I LOVE how your cruiser sits. What's your lift/tire specs? I'm a brand new LC owner by the way, happy to be part of the forumHave you wanted a better way to store a tire on your rig without sacrificing precious interior cargo space or rear departure clearance? Unwilling to spend $1000+ for a heavy swing out bumper just to carry a larger spare tire?
Introducing the Summit Cruisers factory bumper swing out kit. This kit includes the parts and instructions you need to build a rear tire swing carrier for your vehicle while utilizing the OEM rear bumper.

Pros
Heavy duty 1 3/4" spindle with grease zerks
Gas strut assistance
No need to install auxiliary tail lights
Extremely robust and stable design
Lighter weight alternative to a heavy rear bumper
Less expensive alternative to a heavy steel bumper
The tire swing out is available for either side of the vehicle
Does not attach to the body of the vehicle like the oem style. Keeps body smooth and rust free.
General Information
For kits sold before January 2018, those are Version 1.
Kits sold from January 2018 to current are Version 2.
Details for Version 2 can be found on page 12.
These are built in batches and then modified for the side chosen once the deposit is paid. I do not build these to order. Once they are gone, I won't have any more available until I have time to build more.
As this is a kit, welding is required. All pieces to build the tire swing out are included along with a license plate extension bracket. Auxiliary bumper lights not included. The receiver relocation kit is not available. A latch plate that bolts into the pintle hitch mount will be included. Cooler/jerry can baskets are not available. Some tools/hardware are needed to finish this kit.
*This kit is designed around holding a 6 lug OEM 16x8 wheel with a 35x12.5" tire. It also works with the 17x7.5" FJ Cruiser/4Runner wheels with more backspacing.
Starting at $520+ shipping (PM me for shipping outside of the US)
$100 non refundable deposit required. Let me know which side you would like the swing out to go on when you submit your deposit. From that point, the kit should be in your possession in under 2 weeks. Rest of payment due before shipping.
(PM me to confirm your information and for placing a deposit)
Paypal or cash if local to Oklahoma City, OK.

Thanks! Stoked to get started with the build. Been using the forum for a few small things already haha, been super helpful. Don't have much yet but here's a couple shots of "Suzie"Welcome to the family!
You're gonna love it (and this site so much) your head will spin
Post a few pics of your rig!

They love it! 1991 triple locked. Not factory locked though, aftermarket air lockers for the front and rear. Bought it with a 2" lift but the shocks are shot and springs are old so I'll probably swap for an OME 2" heavy in front and rear. Plan on getting a front bumper and buy/make drawers, along with a swingout. My girlfriend and I do a TON of camping, so trying to make as much room for gear as possible. And up top is a GFC roof top tent. Gutter mounts, so no rack needed! But the tent itself has T-channels on each side so it's basically a rack in itself. Can also add crossbars along the top! Haven't decided between 33" or 35" tires. I do more expedition type driving vs crawling. Might settle for a happy 34ish inch. But that's the plan so far! We'll see where she takes me haha.Nice!
Doggos seem happy as well!
1994? Looks like a little bit of a lift? Roof top tent or rack?
Sweet! I hope you got it for a good deal!They love it! 1991 triple locked. Not factory locked though, aftermarket air lockers for the front and rear.

Also plan on painting it once I decide on a color and have the cash to do so Clear coat's peeling so I want to seal it up before the panels get damaged and rust. Plan on keeping it until she dies and rebuilding so going all out.
Only limiting factor is the wallet, but I'm sure everyone on this forum is plenty familiar with that.
Feel free to DM me (or on my other thread I mentioned above) so we don't keep making others think the owner of this thread is updating with news about his swing outs, haha!
