Well I don't know how many people of you follow my build thread but I built a tiregate for my truck. Also my friend came over this weekend and we built a bumper and swing out tire carrier for his jeep. Enjoy the pictures.

















Then just a couple pictures of the side of my house for the day

 

that looks sweet. So does it fold down like a regular tailgate?

 

nice work man

 

Not bad!
The only thing I would have done differently is mount the tire lower. Like 6-8 inches lower.

 

is that an izuzu trooper i see :)

 

Yeah it folds down like a regular tailgate. I have a picture of it folded down in my project log.

Ya, I made I kind of wish I made it a little bit lower. If bothers me in the future I will lower it down.

Nope, It's a Mitsubishi Montero

 

can you get closer pics of the jeep's locking mechanisim? i'm curious to see what you guys used to keep it locked in the closed position.

 

both look sweet, the swing out looks good on the jeep

 

double plus good! looks wicked, want to build one for my truck?

you should put a second tank in where your spare tire normally goes... pull some f-150 switching gear from a wrecker!

 

Looking good.

 

wanna make me one??? lol

 

Latch Clamp, Vertical, 500 Lbs, 1.86 In - Vertical Handle Toggle Clamps - Clamps - Hand Tools : Grainger Industrial Supply

That is what we used for the latching mechanism on the jeep. It was slightly modified to have a little bit of extra security that it will stay closed.


For anyone that wants me to build them one. I would. Just bring me some steel and some beer and I'll go at it. Haha! But I'm sure its a long drive for most of you.
