Nice catch
I'm absolutely a child. I'm so sorry.
Did you do the retro fit yourself? If so how bad was opening up the housing?
Completed my spare tire swing out today on my 06’ LX. Nice simple setup.
Nice work! Nice rig!
What setup did you use? Did you buy that or fabricate it yourself?
I made it myself from this pile of metal. I’m going to try and post the entire process here soon. I documented just about every useful step.
Great job, definitely waiting to see your post on the process
Post it here if you would.
Swing away tire carrier with stock bumper.
This weekends project was to build a simple, lightweight spare tire carrier that doesn’t require a full bumper. One of my friends has a very similar swing out on his 100 he built a while back. However I wanted to detail it out as a help for others to build their own. There’s a lot of people...

That really looks great. Well done.
Posted here. You did a great job on yours too by the way. You were the only person that I could find that had built their own for a 100.Post it here if you would.

Thanks. Glad I could provide some help!
Dang, this is fine work. Instant fan of your work. Will the load/stress on the pivot bearing area increase if you were to move the spare tire a little more to the center to make way for the tail lights’ visibility? (Assuming the rear plate is now relocated on the spare tire).

Averted a potential catastrophe this evening by remembering this site’s mantra of measuring what comes out and what goes in … almost did a test drive with 3 quarts too little ATF in the transmission system and 5 quarts too much oil in the engine … I’ll leave the “how“ to your imagination 
At least you kept the right fluids for each one instead of mix them up. When I was in the service, we had a guy put gas in the diesel pickup… not once, not twice, BUT THREE DIFFERENT TIMES!Averted a potential catastrophe this evening by remembering this site’s mantra of measuring what comes out and what goes in … almost did a test drive with 3 quarts too little ATF in the transmission system and 5 quarts too much oil in the engine … I’ll leave the “how“ to your imagination
Although we're still skiing (probably only a few weekends left this season), I'm getting ready for overlanding. Finally installed the MaxTrax mount.
Going with just two for now.
And a shot from behind
The ski rack will come off by end of this month.

Who's mount did you use for the maxtrax
I appreciate the compliment. I’m sure extending the weight of the tire more toward the center would naturally increase the stress on any hinge/bearing setup. How much more I don’t know. With that being said it would not stop me from building it that way.
Passed a milestone on my way home from a gear oil change after breaking in the 4.88s
