Who has the swing away rear tire carrier?

Would you care to post some detailed pictures of the apparatus? I'm looking to make my own an wanted to see how it connect to the frame through the bumper.

Thank to anyone in advance!

Thanks.

Nice work btw.

How did you attach it to the bumper underneath?

Is the rear door still functional?

What did you use as the hinge for the swing away arm?

What kind of gas strut is that?

Thanks again!

Buckeye, i think ChrisT has the steel rear bumper on his. As Craig said, if you pm him he'll fill you in no doubt. A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

Could I trouble you for a picture of where the carrier attaches to the frame?

Did you install it yourself?
