4Plus Products Tire Carrier Install

[Sando Serious]

My friend is doing a resto-mod on my 1973 FJ40 and has been making some brief YouTube videos as he goes along. I just thought I'd share his recent video on the 4Plus Tire Carrier Installation.

Here's the video:

Here's the product: 4PlusProducts | FJ40 | Tire Carriers | Tire Carrier - http://www.4plusproducts.com/fj40tirecarrier.html

Once things get a bit closer to completion I'll make a separate build thread, but here's some info on the build in the meantime:

1973 FJ40
LS1 5.7 sourced from a 99 Corvette with 60k miles
4L60E
FJ60 Disc Brakes (completed prior)
4Plus Family Cage (completed prior)
4Plus Front Bumper
4Plus Rear Tire Carrier
Saginaw power steering
Dakota Digital Gauges
Heated Corbeau Bucket Seats
Vintage Air

And the list continues...

Nice!

The only problems I see is that the metal was only painted with primer. Primers are generally pores which allow water to penetrate them. There needs to be a top coat that is not pores and will prevent water from penetrating to prevent rust. There is also no mention of putting grease on the pivot to ease movement and also help prevent future rust. Other than that a GREAT addition!

Good call out! He'll be painting everything at some point. Thanks!

This is awesome. I ordered one for my 60. Picked it up from FedEx on Tuesday. Haven’t started it yet but this give me motivation. Of course the install on the 60 is different it’s nice to see videos like this on here. If I remember I’ll post up a before and after pic.
