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.
 
Do the 2nd gen kits block the taillights?

If so, do you think a 33" tire would still block it?

It's totally up to how you place it. If a 35" tire is placed far enough over, it won't block it. If you're on the driver's side of a car behind my cruiser you can still see the brake light but pictures taken from the center make it seem totally hidden.
 
Please put me down for one of these also....
 
Anyone have a shop weld this for them? I cant weld and would have to get someone to do it for me. I'm just trying to figure out how much total I would be invested.
Also does anyone have any pictures of how it mounts to the frame and maybe a list of things needed to finish (1st post says some tools and hardware are needed to finish)??

Thanks for any help!:beer:

There are all sorts of pictures in the thread in 80 series tech. Hardware and tools needed to finish include a welder, maybe a cut off wheel/grinder, general fab tools, squares, clamps, etc. In regards to hardware that might be needed to finish the install, depending on the length of your license plate bolts, you might need a couple longer ones. Then depending on if you are using a pintle hitch or not, you will need a set of bolts for the rear cross member.

Question for ya.. Do you offer a fully assembled & welded option for local pick up ?

I would need the cruiser for a day to fully complete the installation of it.

I’m good with that bud. What is the additional cost for that? Would like to get that scheduled with you.

I’m currently all sold out and not exactly sure when I will be able to begin the next batch.
