MC rear bumper mod for tire carear on a runner
« on: May 24, 2010, 09:27:17 PM »
I just made this last week for a spare tire carear rack. i had to go in to the body on the top to take some of the weight off the bumper. it all hold s pretty good so far.
kinda don't like the latch might change to a pin set up don't know i like how tight this holds it.
Any suggestions let me know.

That looks good! How did you connect that upper support.. is it just to the sheet metal.. or does it go through the sheet metal and brace to something else?

That looks very nice!  We need more details and whatnot!

i used some old shackles i had to make the mounts they work well already drilled and rounded and the bushings are leaf spring hangers off my brothers 88 after we sas'ed it. the latch is just what ever i thought to hold it just a bolt welded in a piece of tube with a screw in t handle that i made fro a 5/8 bolt laying around. the tire plate is 3/8  thick and i made a template and then torched it out. the over all frame is 1.5 x1.5 x.120.

took about 2 days to fab up and paint maybe 10 hours or so probably more.

that's most of it off hand if theirs other stuff you want to know or a diffrent pic you want to see let me know.

i saw these things for like 800 or so WOW

thanks

just curious, have you had any issues with ripping the body on that top mount?
When in doubt, skinny pedal!

Built mine the same way, did not weld the bumper brackets to the frame and after two weeks of abuse there was a visible bump on top of the bed rail above the tail light...the top will still go on fine, but it is still a reminder to weld your bumper to your frame if one were to go this route.

no i put it through the wall into the back of the tail light well. The back is stronger and you get 2 welds. i put a plate back there to beef it up to. i sat on it with no tire and no prob.  :gap:
