Tire Carrier on ARB rear bumper

[FlyNdrive]

Guys,

Croz (from 120 and Bruiser forums) modified and welded a tire carrier to my existing ARB bumper. I will post pictures of the fabrication, but here are some pics of what it will look like. I will also post more pics when it is back from powder coating.

We used 2 Rock Logic 4X4 spindles, De-Sta-Co latch, and a 4X4 Labs dual gas can mount.

Enjoy.....

I need to clear everything off the roof rack to make room for a tent.

You will need to relocate tail lights and license plate

taillights look visible- it might be the photo exaggerating the blockage.

Lic plate def needs relocating but the spare or jerry can holder are easy spots.maybe on the swingarm.

nice work Croz!

Croz is AWSOME at this kind of stuff. He just picked up an ARB rear bar for his 4-Rx5. We (when I say we I mean he works and I drool over what he fabs) will be working on his rear bumper and carrier early next week.

As for the lights they are visible from 5+ feet behind the vehicle. Any tailgaters will have to rely on the 3rd brake light. The metal bracket for the licence plate is welded on, but the plastic light for plates are not on -- That's for after the powder coaters.

Nice... Really nice!

What kind of winch do you have in the rear?

 

[FlyNdrive]

It's a Warn M-8000, same as the front.

tail lights will be fine. Like Ben said, his plate will be mounted under the basket.

I think it should look amazing after the PC.

Here's a couple teasers of the bumper. I think it came out really good, We should be installing it Saturday

sorry for the blurry photo ....just stare at it a while and it'll come into focus ;D

So, in the pic above you added all that gusseting? Was all of it necessary to hold the spindles in place? It looks completely bomb proof. Nice job.

 

[FlyNdrive]

It is bomb proof. Croz added the gusseting as insurance to make sue noting happened later down the road.

I can't wait until Saturday. I will post pics.

Very nice work. I really like the Jerry can holder. I'd like to make something similar but bigger to use as a rear rack of some sort. Very cool.

 

[beaufort-fj60]

nice job.. very nice

the rear door should last alot longer now that the spare is not on it.

I hope so. The wheel and 35's were over 100 lbs.
