possibly think about incorporating a mount for a high-lift jack

or a CB antenna ?

- just some ideas ;p

How about a better way to hold the tire and maybe lift it?

 

[DSRTRDR]

I like the cradle style

Well... yeah.

But I'd be OK with just a Baja-style sideways carrier with a loop underneath the tire to hold it until it was bolted on. And just use a spinner to hold the tire on to the carrier. No lug nuts. And provision for a Hi-Lift, an antenna, round LED lights in the bottom corners of the (rectangular) bumper and a place for a camp light (Kaymar does that).

Until the tire lift deal was viable. Seen a couple similar (stinger style). Like we've talked about, engineering a strong enough strut deal to get the tire up is the hard part.

camp light?? cb an high lift a must! thinking about water cooler holder! i guess i did mine backwards i got square lights in a round bumper

must be all the jeeps you're working on, square lights go to your head.

spinner as a holder is not bad - until some fxxxers steal both gas cans right off your Blazer, as they did in Moab to Michael

I agree, too bad you cant keep stuff from being taken. Heres how I locked my spinner down. Would be almost impossible to get a lock cutter in the tight space.
