A while ago i drew up plans to build a tailgate based spare carrier with a little baja styling. Now they've come out with the tiregate so I know it may not be too original but I had never heard or seen this "tiregate" previous to my drawing. Anyway enough background, today me and derek got started on my design.
The goods
As far as we got today after collecting all the materials and figuring out some bracketry. This is the frame of the "tailgate" minus both upper bushing mounts. We had the bottom tube that makes up the gate portion almost ready to tack just needed a little more grinding but it got late and the neighbors don't like me enough as it is.
Surprisingly it has gone relatively quick and fits great but i guess that's what happens when you've got what it's going on right in front of you
We'll finish up tomorrow and have more pics.
