80 series swing out tire carrier bumper

[sean]

I have not had a chance to fit this up to a 60 series, But I look forward to the challenge someday.
The basket evolved a little bit more. I am using flat steel plate that is bent to match the radius on the corners, instead of all the tubing pieces and endless notching I was doing before.

This one is yours Brett, it is at powdercoating and will be ready to ship by the end of next week. Now it is time to start on yours Chris!

Wait time is down to about one month right now.

one more pic of your bumper Brett, I added a gusset to the tire swingout, I don't know if it adds to the strength much, but i like the way it looks.

Coolest thing for my truck to date! Awesome job, Sean!

Sean when you say Chris do you mean me? If so I have a few mods for you.

It won't let me post pics in a pm but here's what I'm talking about

 

[sean]

That can should measure about 14x 7, the basket will hold three of them ( inside diameter of the basket is 14.25" x 21.25")


and your lucky you don't live in Ca, because if you have anything other than a CA approved can in CA, yes the one that leaks and spills, and is hard to operate, and the spout breaks very easily, and cost close to $70, you are at risk of receiving a hefty fine.

Bumpers are looking great Sean!

I can confirm that the jerry can carrier will hold three of the scepter cans, unless Sean has changed the dimensions of the carrier.

Only issue I have is the expanded metal base for the jerry can carrier, seems like the welds would fatigue over time and break off. Maybe not..

At Sean's place right now getting my bumper installed. Can't wait!

Here are some pics from my phone. Sean is a great guy to deal with, and obviously very talented. In my opinion, this is the best bang for your buck bumper that money can buy.

Sean can you PM me on what the above bumper would cost to have it shipped to the East Coast? Thanks!

Check through out the post but I believe it's 1850 for the bumper above. Sean in the process of building mine now.

A few questions that can be answered by anyone

Can the tire carrier be mounted on either side?

Is the basket detachable?

What it the biggest size spare that can be carried?

Can the second swing out be taken off and stored?

What model coolers fit well in the basket?

Thanks!

No, the swing-outs cannot be swapped.

Yes, the basket un-bolts from the bottom and un-hooks from the top.

Not sure about tire size limits. A 35" will fit fine and I'm sure a 37" would have no problem either.

You can remove the swing-outs but would have an exposed spindle.

I think it was a 68 quart cooler that fits. PM Biggsean, he'll let you know for sure.

Don't quote me, but pretty sure Sean can build them with the carrier on either side, must specify when ordering. Once built, no they cannot be swapped.

Thanks, I should have been more specific. I don't want to swap, just want to pick the side. Thanks gents

 

[YotaTrail]

yes you can pick the side. I had sean put the tire carrier on the right side and the ladder/basket on the left if you go back 2 pages you can see

Really?
I know you can't buy Specters and Jerry cans new in CA, but you can still use em if you got em, right?

 

[subspd]

Sean will you ship?

 

[Brentbba]

Sean - any thoughts on offering the ladder with just a dual jerrycan carrier??
