Rear stinger/tire carrier

I just finished my daughter's rear stinger/tire carrier, made out of 1 1/2
x 1/8" wall tube, pull the top pins and it folds down. She has a 9 month old
baby so time to get back seat back in. Anyway I posted a pic over at
alt.binaries.pictures.autos.4x4 let me know what you think.

Nice job. You're quite the welder. How much stress is on the top pins?
Seems they might pull out of the sheet metal.

Acually they go through and then a T shaped extension goes to roll bar

Nice!

Might want to tuck in a third brake light, especially if your
in an area that requires them.

She hasn't had one on for the last 5 years, nor do I, so either we don't
need them or no-one has noticed

Kate,
try Teranews. It cost like $3 for an account. They were very unreliable
about six months ago, but lately they've been pretty good.

Thanks guys, Mike got me hooked up

What a PITA! PhotoBucket is so much easier :-/

ON topic though, the tire carrier looks pretty cool.
Hard to see much detail in the photos but it looks like it will hold big
azzed tires without much trouble as long as the body mounts are sturdy
enough to support it.

Isn't it kind of heavy for her to lift up and down with that big ol tire on
it?

OBM bilt me a tire carrier with 2x3x3/16 & 2x2x1/8 tubing that I absolutely
LOVE.
It swings on a 3000 pound axle & bearings with a latch that is a flick of a
lever and a lock back so it doesn't hit me in the behind when I'm loading.

I got Terranews and it tells me that alt.binaries.pictures.autos.4x4 is
unavailable. It used to be listed on Terranews :-(
