Swing out spare wheel carrier mount bit!!

[Paul_Humphreys]

Spindle or hinge, I am looking for somewhere that sells them and will ship to England.

Anyone help? I know Slee use to do them, but I can not find them on their site.

Rear Bumper kits | 4×4 Labs


Luke Porter is a really nice person and ships internationally on a regular basis.

If you do not see it in the pics/products area, he has them since they are part of his kits.

Thanks I will take a look.

See if they will ship. It's where I got my spindle kit. (tire carrier hinge kit)

Not sure if they ship oversees but I bought mine from Trailer hitch, hitches and bike rack (800)298-8924

I'd get the 4x4Labs one as previously mentioned. It's massive and well made.

Try a stub axle spindle for a trailer. Get the correct "inner and outer" bearings and seal and fit the races into a piece of steel tubing. I have not actually done this yet, but I plan to. The 1750 pound rated spindles go for about 20 bux and then there would be the cost of the bearings and the stock steel for the bearing housing/swingout take off. The set up i am considering will use a 1 3/8" inner bearing and a 1 1/16" outer. I will source the bearings at Napa and use them to size my bearing housing stock. The spindle OA length is 8" so 4" in my bumper, and 4"above. For the amount of research, time, and labor involved, it may be worth the cost of the ready-made; my time is cheaper for me than convenience.

It's a great idea. I looked into it as well. For the time and money involved, just cheeper to buy the kit. You need to get the tubing mechined for the races and things just keep adding up. And beleve me your time can't be worth less than mine

The 4x4labs one looks great, but they want $148 to ship it here.

I think I am going to order one of these carrier mounts as it is only $48 to ship.

Thanks for the help.

That would be 48 dollars-British. I saw 57 American dollars. Still a great deal. Now I know I can't do it cheaper than that. Great find!

 

[Paul_Humphreys]

No, it is $48 for the shipping and $57 to buy, so a total of $105. I do not think I could get it made for that!!

For me to digress that I cannot make it on the cheap, it must be a smokin deal!
