I built a bumper last year that has a spare tire swing out. Super happy with it. Next step is to add a cooler basket on a separate arm. I'm debating on how to secure the free end. Cutrently, I have a destaco latch coming off the diagonal. I’m thinking of taking it off and using it to tie the two arms together. For those using one clamp to tie the arms together in a horizontal orientation: any tips?
Currently I don’t need to open the tire side to often, as I don’t have much storage behind the seat. My thought here is to have the free end of the tire arm secured with a “T” bolt. This would give the cooler arm a solid place to latch on to when closed. Is this necessary? Or will the two arms secure each other?
